New photo Fab Four photographer Karen Anvil meets Meghan Markle at Sandringham

The single mother who took the now-famous photo of the 'fab four' on Christmas Day at Sandringham has done it again. 

Karen Anvil, 40, from Norfolk, shot to fame after capturing William, Kate, Harry and Meghan walking to church last year and claims to have raked in £40,000 from the snap. 

And she was back to her old tricks again this week, snapping the royal family walking to St Mary Magdalene Church - and even having a chin wag with the pregnant Duchess of Sussex, who hinted that she is 'nearly there'.

In one frame Meghan, who is expecting her first child with Prince Harry next spring, can be seen smiling broadly as she chats to the waiting crowds.

Money maker! The single mother who took this world-famous photo of William, Kate, Harry and Meghan at Sandringham last year revealed she has made £40,000 from the snap

Recalling her brief conversation with the former actress this week, Karen said: 'I said congratulations on your baby and she said, "Thank you.'" 

'I then asked her if she was excited and she said "Yes we are, we're nearly there" as she cradled her bump. 

'I told her to enjoy every moment as being a mother is the best feeling. She smiled said thank you, and moved on.'

She even managed to recreate last year's 'fab four' photo - albeit with an oblivious Prince of Wales obscuring Harry and Meghan from view.

Ms Anvil was one of hundreds who braved the cold to get a glimpse of the royal family as they walked to church on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk on 25 December last year.

After screaming to attract attention, Ms Anvil, who had two jobs at the time, snapped a candid picture of the 'fab four' that was quickly distributed to publications around the world - and has subsequently helped her rake in £40,000. 

Over the last year, royalties have brought Ms Anvil a regular monthly income of between £600 and £6,000 - and she said she's earned enough money to clear her debts, take a year off work and 'do up' her council house. 

Describing the experience as 'like a lottery win', Ms Anvil, of Norfolk, told the BBC: 'The biggest change for me was that it was so nice to go shopping at Tesco and not be worried about whether I've got the cash in the bank.'

Recalling her conversation with Meghan yesterday, Ms Anvil 'said: 'I asked her if she was excited and she said "Yes we are, we're nearly there" as she cradled her bump'

One of the first purchases she made was a bed, having slept on a mattress on the floor for 18 months.  

Ms Anvil had been waiting outside the church with daughter Rachel in the hope of catching a glimpse of the royals on their way in.   

Photographers from around the world jostled for position to capture a photo of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with the then newly engaged Harry and Meghan - but it was Ms Anvil who trumped them all.  

By 'screaming like a fan girl', Ms Anvil was able to draw looks from both Kate, 36, and Harry, 34, who are both smiling staring straight at her lens in the shot. 

Meanwhile William, 36, and Meghan, 37, are striding ahead with broad smiles on their faces.

She uploaded the photo and by 5pm that day it had gone viral. It has since been sold to publications in countries around the world, with requests from Japan, the US, Canada, Spain and Italy all coming through. 

In a tweet earlier this year, Ms Anvil told how she had spoken to Prince Harry about the photo when she met the royal during a walkabout in Birmingham. 

She wrote: 'Got to speak to Meghan today! Also shook Prince Harry's hand and asked him if he liked the Xmas photo! He said he hoped I made lots of money from it! I'm absolutely buzzing!'

The proud mother previously said some of the money will go towards her daughter's education.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
