Photo of make-up free Meghan Markle watching TV with her goddaughter unearthed on Instagram

A never-before-seen photo of Meghan Markle watching TV with her goddaughter has been unearthed on social media.

Posted on Instagram by harrysmegri, the image of the Duchess depicts her watching TV with her goddaughter, Rylan Litt, wearing pyjamas.

In the photo, Meghan goes makeup-free and wears her hair scraped back into a scruffy top-knot (yes, Meghan is JUST like us), while Rylan looks adorable in a fairy costume.

Naturally, the Duchess’ fans are going wild for the candid snapshot.

One Instagram user commented: “Aww thats soooo sweet. [sic]“

Another said: “It just goes to show you that family is not always blood relatives. Friends can become the greatest family most of us will ever have.”

While another commented: “Such a beautiful, real and heartfelt picture. Wow even with no make up still so beautiful. [sic]“

The photo is thought to be from December 2016, just months after the now-Duchess began dating Prince Harry, when she was spending Christmas with her close friend, Benita Litt, and her two goddaughters, Rylan and Remi, in Los Angeles.

In May of this year, Rylan and Remi acted as flower girls in the royal wedding, beside Princess Charlotte.
