The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are on the cover of Time

Yes, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made Time's most influential people list, and to honor the recognition, they appeared on the cover. See it here.

This is, shockingly, the first time the world-famous couple has formally posed for a magazine cover shoot together.

The portrait, shot by photographer Pari Dukovic, is gorgeous. Markle wears a white button-front jumpsuit with her hair down in soft, luscious waves. Meanwhile, Prince Harry is dressed in all black, because he knows when to let Markle have the spotlight.

In other photos from the spread, the couple walk among trees in the most magical lighting you could imagine. In these photos they're wearing monochromatic forest green looks: Prince Harry in a suit and a white shirt, and Markle in a turtleneck, wide-leg trousers, and a long coat. This has already inspired my entire winter wardrobe.   

The feature accompanying the photos was written by World Central Kitchen founder José Andrés, who's worked with the Sussexes in the past on relief efforts. World Central Kitchen recently partnered with Markle and Prince Harry's Archewell Foundation—named after their son, Archie—to help with recovery efforts amid the earthquake in Haiti. 

“In a world where everyone has an opinion about people they don't know, the duke and duchess have compassion for the people they don't know,” Andrés wrote for Time. “They don't just opine. They run toward the struggle.”

The Time cover also marks Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's first significant press moment since the Oprah Winfrey interview in March. During the prime-time special, the couple opened up about their departure from royal life, the dynamics of the royal family, and their lives today. In June the couple welcomed their second child, a daughter named Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor; she's named after Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Harry’s mother, Princess Diana
