The girl asked if she can hug Meghan, to which the Duchess responded “of course” before leaning in for an adorable embrace.
In an interview with CNN, the girl spoke of the moment, saying: “We were just waiting for her to come and she came near me and asked my name and how my day was, how long I was waiting.
