Fans of the Duchess of Sussex received a fun surprise after a never-before-seen image of the 41-year-old with her son Archie and mother Doria Ragland made the rounds on social media.

The mom-of-two has been in the headlines lately after the trailer for her and Prince Harry's Netflix docuseries, Harry and Meghan, dropped yesterday as previously reported.

In just 59 seconds, viewers were shown an array of black-and-white images of the couple, who began filming the upcoming project as they split from the Royal Family. In the clip, 38-year-old Prince Harry said: "No one sees what's happening behind closed doors… I had to do everything I could to protect my family."

Watch the highly-anticipated trailer below:

As the trailer ended the Suits alum then added: "When the stakes are this high doesn't it make more sense to hear our stories from us?"

Fans of the couple praised the trailer on Twitter and were treated to yet more Harry and Meghan content with the release of this latest image.

It appeared to be a screenshot of the Duchess participating in a Zoom call and was shared on Twitter by Duchess Harris, a Minnesota professor specializing in feminism and American studies, before being promptly removed. It has, however, been reposted by other accounts.

According to The New York Post, the Duchess was on a Zoom call with political strategist Donna Brazile and CEO of social impact consulting firm Full Circle Strategies, Jotaka Eaddy.

The release of the image came on the same day as Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton - now Prince and Princess of Wales following King Charles III's ascension to the throne in September - touched down in the USA ahead of their attendance at the Earthshot Prize award ceremony.

It is expected that Prince Harry and Meghan's upcoming docuseries will touch upon their relationship with the Prince and Princess of Wales after their shock exit from the Royal Family.

Since leaving the UK and settling in California, the couple has been vocal about how they were treated by the British Monarchy - even taking part in a bombshell Oprah interview in 2021 and recent interview with The Cut.

It was during the former that the couple made several shocking revelations - including that there had been some "concerns" from fellow royals about the color of their son Archie's skin, the then-Prince Charles had stopped taking Prince Harry's calls, the couple had secretly married ahead of their televised 2018 nuptials, and that Meghan had been "suicidal" but was allegedly unable to receive help.

Following the interview, the couple endured intense scrutiny as well as praise from netizens across the globe. According to USA Today, the late Queen Elizabeth II issued a brief statement two days after the interview aired.

"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," it read. "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."

A release date for the highly-anticipated docuseries is yet to be announced, with Netflix simply stating that it would be "coming soon" to the streaming platform.
