\nMeghan Markle is the new Royal on the block, but it\u2019s fair to say that this former actress isn\u2019t taking it easy. Almost as soon as Harry and Meghan exchanged their \u201cI dos,\u201d the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex were flying across the globe, meeting people from all walks of life, and attending high-class functions. However, it\u2019s their Royal Tour that has got everyone talking. This tour has been full of familiar meetings, and Meghan Markle\u2019s jaw dropped when she came face to face with a student she recognized.
\n[post_page_title]A new Royal[\/post_page_title]
\nThe members of The British Royal Family are some of the most famous people in the world, and it just so happens that Meghan Markle is doubly famous. Thanks to her former life as a Hollywood actress, this American beauty has had people following her life and career for decades.
\n
\nDuring the height of her Suits fame, she made no secret of the fact that she loved her fans. She would interact with them at any opportunity, and she would even chat with them on social media. That\u2019s why Meghan couldn\u2019t believe it when she came face to face with one of her biggest fans.
\n
\n[post_page_title]The incredible union[\/post_page_title]
\nThe Queen\u2019s grandsons have also always been in the public eye. As heirs to the throne and public figures, their lives have been splashed across newspapers and magazines since birth.
\n
\nAfter Prince William found love in the form of Kate Middleton, all eyes were on the rebel Royal, Prince Harry, to settle down and start a family. Although it may have taken him longer than expected, he eventually fell head over heels for an unlikely addition to the Royal Family: Meghan Markle. Yet, there\u2019s no doubt that theirs is an incredible union.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A delayed honeymoon[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen Royal couples tie the knot, they almost immediately go on their honeymoon. They travel to exotic lands and enjoy their time together before a hectic life of Royal duties are thrust upon them.
\n
\nHowever, Meghan and Harry chose to delay their honeymoon after their Spring 2018 wedding. Instead, they chose to stay behind to mingle with their relatives and friends for Prince Charles\u2019 birthday. This was Meghan\u2019s first official event as a Royal, and it\u2019s fair to say that the new Duchess of Sussex went down a storm.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Traveling abroad[\/post_page_title]
\nThankfully, Meghan and Harry didn\u2019t have to hang around in England for too long before they were off on their honeymoon.\u00a0Although details surrounding the date and the location of their honeymoon have remained a secret from the rest of the world.
\n
\nIt\u2019s believed, however, that they went sometime between May 23, 2018, and returned before June 9, 2018. In fact, only Prince William and the Queen know when and where they went! Sources suggest they may have gone to Canada, Botswana, Namibia, Ireland, India, or the Caribbean island of Nevis.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A Royal Tour[\/post_page_title]
\nTraveling abroad comes with the territory of being a member of the Royal Family, and their honeymoon wasn\u2019t the only chance for Meghan and Harry to travel the globe.
\n
\nIt was during their famous Royal Tour in October 2018 that Meghan received the shock of a lifetime, and couldn\u2019t believe that she had come face to face with the student that she had encouraged not to drop out of college. The Royal Tour began on October 15, 2018, with the newly married couple landing in Sydney, Australia. Little did we know that a big announcement was on the horizon.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A big announcement[\/post_page_title]
\nAs Meghan and Harry touched down for the first day of their Royal Tour, Kensington Palace decided to share some news with us. They were expecting their first baby!
\n
\nThe whole world was over the moon to hear that the newlywed couple were bringing an heir into the world, and it was the perfect way to celebrate their new marriage and their first tour as an official couple within the Royal Couple. Their fans were over the moon, and some of them just had to fly across the globe to congratulate them. One college student did just that.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A cheeky hug[\/post_page_title]
\nDuring their Royal Tour, Meghan and Harry have met thousands of people from across the globe. They have waved to those they have passed by, and they have even stopped to talk to a select few who have been given the honor of meeting the Royals in person.
\n
\nAlthough it\u2019s not the Royal procedure to hug their subjects, it seems as though Meghan and Harry just love to bend the rules. They have both had cheeky hugs with children and pensioners alike, which makes the world fall even more in love with them.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Spotted in the crowd[\/post_page_title]
\nHowever, it was one encounter during the end of their Royal Tour that got everyone talking. As Meghan and Harry followed their itinerary to New Zealand, they made their way to Viaduct Harbour in Auckland.
\n
\nSporting her impressive bump and an exquisite Burberry Trench Coat, fans had come out in their hundreds to catch a glimpse of the happy couple. Although they were busy talking to officials and going about their Royal duties, it was actually Meghan who caught a glimpse of someone she recognized. She just had to say hello.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A jaw-dropping moment[\/post_page_title]
\nHowever, Meghan didn\u2019t simply smile when she saw the young girl that she knew. As she scanned the crowd, her jaw literally dropped when she saw who was in attendance.
\n
\nAlthough she has probably met thousands of people over the course of her lifetime, she knew immediately who the woman was. After all, they had spent countless hours talking to each other before she had made her way into the Royal Family. She hadn\u2019t forgotten just because her life had changed so dramatically. There was no way she could ever forget.
\n
\n[post_page_title]It\u2019s a sign[\/post_page_title]
\nWhile Meghan had recognized the woman because of their interaction, it was also hard for her to miss the sign that this woman had made.\u00a0The 20-year-old Hannah Sergel had created a handmade sign in an attempt to attract the attention of the Duchess.
\n
\nIt it seems as though Meghan just couldn\u2019t miss \u201cHannah from Instagram\u201d sign she’d prepared. Hannah made the poster days before she flew from the other side of New Zealand to meet her idol in the flesh, and you can see from the many photos and videos of the event that she was overcome with emotion.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Greeting the woman[\/post_page_title]
\nWith her jaw wide open, Meghan knew exactly what she had to do. She had shared emotional exchanges on social media with Hannah before she had made her way into the Royal Family, but they had never actually met in person.
\n
\nBecause of this, Meghan immediately rushed over to Hannah and embraced her. The two women shared a beautiful hug, and Meghan even accepted a letter that the youngster had written specifically for her. It wasn\u2019t until the rest of the world knew the backstory behind this embrace that they realized its true importance.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Instagram friends[\/post_page_title]
\nOne of the many differences between Meghan\u2019s new life and her old life as an actress is that she no longer uses social media. Members of the Royal Family are not permitted to have their own personal accounts, but rather their lives are exhibited through the Kensington Palace feed.
\n
\nHowever, that doesn\u2019t mean that she has never used social media before. With her own blog and acting career to advertise, Meghan was an avid user of Instagram. It was through this social media platform that she first spoke to Hannah.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Reaching out[\/post_page_title]
\nDuring the height of Meghan Markle\u2019s acting fame, Hannah grew to admire the actress. Although she was a high-flying member of Hollywood, Hannah could also see that Meghan was down to earth, and always had time for her fans.
\n
\nNot only did Hannah create a fan Twitter account for the actress, but she also decided to reach out to Meghan on Instagram, and they had numerous exchanges where Meghan would give Hannah advice. Little did the Duchess know at that point that this advice would actually change the youngster’s life.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Following back[\/post_page_title]
\nHannah first learned of Meghan Markle in 2014, when she watched her on television and decided to give her a follow on Instagram. As Hannah\u2019s love grew for her, Meghan then followed her back in January 2016.
\n
\nTo start with, they would simply comment on each other\u2019s photographs, or like each other\u2019s posts. But before too long, their relationship had progressed, and they were sending small direct messages to each other about their daily life, and Hannah\u2019s hopes and dreams in life. After suffering numerous health concerns, Hannah really needed this.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A daily struggle[\/post_page_title]
\nBecause of her daily struggles with her physical and mental health, Hannah soon came to rely on her interaction with the actress to help her get by. Meghan would often tell the youngster to keep going and to always strive to be the best version of herself.
\n
\nHowever, they weren\u2019t just sending messages to each other. When Meghan learned that Hannah was suffering more than before with her health, Meghan recorded a personal video, wishing her well and sending lots of love her way. Hannah was over the moon.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Social media friends[\/post_page_title]
\nWith their many interactions, Hannah knew that the two of them had become friends. Although they were worlds apart in terms of their location, their ages, and their career goals, Meghan inspired Hannah every single day.
\n
\nWhen she was thinking about dropping out of college, it was Meghan who persuaded her to stay. She knew that Hannah had it in her to continue, no matter how hard it may have seemed. It was this faith in her that allowed Hannah to continue with her studies. She truly had changed her life.
\n
\n[post_page_title]An amazing moment[\/post_page_title]
\nBecause of their past experiences with each other, their meeting in New Zealand was an amazing moment. Hannah got the chance to see her idol in the flesh, but she also could live the rest of her days with a smile on her face because Meghan actually recognized her.
\n
\nA hug and a conversation from the Duchess was all that Hannah needed, and she was overcome with emotion. When Meghan had to walk away, the emotions soon got the better of her. Hannah broke down in tears and didn\u2019t know what to do with herself.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Calming her down[\/post_page_title]
\nThankfully, there was someone beside Hannah who was able to calm her down after the exit of Meghan Markle. Standing next to her was the Prime Minister of New Zealand, who immediately wrapped the youngster up in her arms and gave her a hug.
\n
\nAfter a couple of minutes, she was finally able to breathe and take in what had really happened. She had met Meghan Markle, she had hugged Meghan Markle, and Meghan Markle was going to read the letter that she had painstakingly written. It was arguably the best day of her life.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Taking to social media[\/post_page_title]
\nAfter her meeting with Meghan Markle, Hannah knew exactly what she had to do. She had first spoken to Meghan on social media, so she needed to go back onto social media and speak about her experiences.
\n
\nShe noted that she couldn\u2019t believe she had been \u201csuch a mess that the Prime Minister of New Zealand\u201d had to comfort her, but she was not sorry about the way she had reacted. After all, Meghan had helped her through some of the darkest times in her life, and she really did have so much to thank her for.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A photo to remember[\/post_page_title]
\nTheir incredible exchange was not only caught on camera, but it was also broadcast across the world. Meghan and Hannah\u2019s story has since broken the internet, and Hannah has been inundated with interview offers.
\n
\nHowever, this slight portion of fame is not something that really interests Hannah. While she is glad that her story has made its way out into the world, she is even happier to have finally met a woman she has wanted to meet for so many years. This photo is now her phone background.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A real Duchess[\/post_page_title]
\nAlthough she may be the newest member of the Royal Family with so many rules to adhere to, it seems as though Meghan Markle is not letting her newfound title dictate her morals. Unlike the majority of her new Royal relatives, she has a past life that she just can\u2019t let go of.
\n
\nBecause of this, she couldn\u2019t let a chance encounter with Hannah go amiss. As soon as she spotted Hannah and her jaw dropped to the ground, there was only one option. She had to give her a hug, and she had to see how she was doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
