Meghan and Harry's wedding photographer is a super-handsome, vegan prince.

It’s probably time you met Alexi Lubomirski.

With the royal wedding just 15 days away, Lubomirski  – the man behind Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s engagement photos – has been announced as the wedding’s official photographer.

The thing about Alexi Lubomirski is that Alexi Lubomirski is a prince. In fact, he was born His Serene Highness Prince Alexi Lubomirski. Serene! How zen. Would it surprise you if we told you His Serene Highness Prince Alexi Lubomirski meditates twice a day? Of course it wouldn’t. He has royal titles to bring to life.

According to The Telegraph, Lubomirski descended from an influential Polish family who received the hereditary title of prince of the Holy Roman Empire from Emperor Ferdinand III in the 17th century, which is a long and very windy way of explaining he is very fancy.

Because of course, who wants a commoner taking photos at a royal wedding when you can have, well, not a commoner?

Lubomirski has, in the past, photographed a litany of well-known faces including Beyoncé, Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson.

In an interview with E! News earlier this year Lubomirski explained the royal couple stumbled on the photographer on Instagram.

“I think one of Meghan’s friends saw me on Instagram that I was in England during the announcement of the engagement and I was told later that this person said to her, ‘You should meet Alexi. He’s great. You’d love him,’ and that was it.

“It was one of the easiest, most joyful jobs because they were so deliciously in love,” he went on.

Posting on Instagram about the news, he wrote:

“I could not be more thrilled or honoured to photograph this historic occasion. Having taken Prince Harry and Ms. Markle’s engagement photos, it brings me such joy to be able to witness again, the next chapter in this wonderful love story.”

Lubomirski is married to a woman named Giada Torri and they live in New York with their two sons, seven-year-old Sole Luka and four-year-old Leone.

In 2014, he published a book called Notes for a Young Prince, which was intended as a first-birthday gift for his first son, Sole Luka. He donates all the proceeds he makes from the book to the charity Concern Worldwide, because of course His Serene Highness Prince Alexi Lubomirski does.

Oh, and because His Serene Highness Prince Alexi Lubomirski is peak serene, he is vegan, too.

Why the world is so obsessed with Meghan Markle in the lead-up to the royal wedding.

We can’t stop looking at pictures…
