The post has been liked more than 4,000 times and garnered hundreds of comments from fans of the couple.
“OH. MY. GOODNESS. This is the cutest thing ever They are so sweet, I can’t... Thanks for sharing and a very happy first day of spring to you, too,” wrote one person.
Another added: “Beautiful photograph. May you both enjoy a lovely weekend and first day of Spring x.”
The post comes one week after Buckingham Palace issued a response to the bombshell Oprah interview in which the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a series of allegations about their time in the royal family.
In the two-hour interview, it was claimed that while Meghan was pregnant with her son, Archie, there were “concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born”.
The palace statement in response read: ““The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.
“The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.
“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much-loved family members.”
