Mum-to-be, Meghan Markle, beams as she greets two adoring young fans just a day after she announced that she is expecting her and Prince Harry’s first child in the Southern autumn.

After a welcome reception with Governor General Peter Cosgrove and his wife, Lady Lynne Cosgrove, the royal couple kicked off their jam-packed Tour Down Under on Monday by meeting fans at Sydney Opera House and Zoo.

The royal pair met with two adorable young fans outside the zoo, who presented them with a bunch of native flowers.

Both the prince and his pregnant bride crouched down so they could speak to Findlay Blue, 4, and Dasha Gallagher, 6, who adorably held each other’s hand during their chat with the royal couple.

Prince Harry also greeted 98-year-old war widow Daphne Dunne, and introduced her to his wife Meghan.

The pair has met twice before, most recently during Harry’s visit last year and before that in 2015. Dunne said that her and Price Harry have a special relationship. “We understand each other,” she said. The pair reportedly chatted about the weather.

On his new wife, she added: “She’s lovely”.
