Since the trailer for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix documentary dropped last week, no one’s been talking about much else.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will offer a 'vulnerable look into their high-profile relationship' over six episodes.
But eagle-eyed royal fans might have noticed that one of the photos used in the latest trailer for the much-anticipated docuseries shows Harry with his ex.

In the snap in question, Harry can be seen putting his hand up in front of paparazzi cameras while looking uncomfortable.
Although Harry appears to be alone in the image, he was actually with his ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy when it was taken, although she’s been cropped out of the photo.
The picture was taken at Heathrow Airport in September 2007.
Chelsy, who was 21 at the time, had just landed in the UK from Johannesburg and Harry, then 22, had gone to the airport to pick her up.
In a new teaser for his and Meghan’s Netflix show, he can be heard claiming ‘no one knows the full truth’ about their relationship.
Harry can be heard talking about life as a member of the royal family, claiming there is 'leaking', but also the 'planting' of stories.
He also described the 'pain and suffering' of women who marry into the institution, and dubbed the attention around their relationships as a 'feeding frenzy'.
He also admitted he was 'terrified' of history repeating itself, while Meghan claimed to have realised she was not going to be 'protected'.
"No one knows the full truth," Harry said, adding: "We know the full truth."
The series will be split into two parts, the first of which will arrive on Thursday (8 December) with the first three episodes. Volume 2 will then drop on the streaming service on 15 December.
The six episodes will take viewers through the full span of Harry and Meghan's relationship, from 'the early days of the couple’s courtship to the challenges and controversies that prompted them to step back from the royal family'.
Netflix said of the show: "At its core, their relationship looks like many others: They met, had a whirlwind romance, fell in love, got married, had children, and built a life based on shared values and mutual support of each other’s work and ambitions.
"But the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are no ordinary couple. Theirs is one of the most high-profile love stories in history, and even the most plugged-in fans and followers of their story have never heard it told like this before."
