    After Meghan Markle and Prince Harry met little Luke Vincent, their cute encounter melted hearts all over the world. Five year old Luke tottered over to greet them hello, handed them a couple of bouquets and gave both the Duke and Duchess the biggest hugs.

    He also snuck in a cheeky beard scratch and patted Prince Harry's head. The principal of his school revealed to The Daily Mail Harry's facial foliage because reminded Luke of his favourite person: good ol' Saint Nick.

    She said, '[Luke] got a hug from Meghan and then Harry bent down to speak to him and Luke didn't give him any choice! Luke's favourite person in the world is Santa Claus, who has a beard. So he rubbed Harry's beard.'

    Prince Harry with His Biggest Fan

    Back in 2015, Prince Harry met Daphne Dunne — his biggest Australian fan. Photos of him laughing with the nonagenarian quickly spread and it was the sweetest thing ever, so it only makes sense that they'd reconnect when he dropped in to town. They were reunited in Sydney and he introduced her to his next biggest fan, Meghan Markle.

    This royal tour has been a bounty of Markle x Harry PDA. The pair are just so lovely to watch together and their body language speaks miles about how in love they are with one another.

    Whether it's a hand on a knee or instinctively reaching for one another's hands, they don't seem to be able to keep their hands off one another.

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with Kids

    Given that Meghan and Harry have a little one of their own on the way, it's been pretty heartwarming to see a glimpse of what they'd be like as parents. Prince Harry's always gotten on really well with children and the two of them are just dreamy to watch, stooping down to say hello with a big grin prepared.

    One of the BEST moments of the tour IMO was when Prince Harry broke royal protocol for a young Meghan Markle lookalike. After spotting the little girl in the crowd proudly displaying a feminist tee which read 'Girls Can Do Anything', he waved the Duchess over to say hello.

    After chatting with her and her family, he broke the royals' no selfie rule and helped take a picture of them all together. The moment was super heartwarming and the Instagram account @harry_meghan_updates captured it below:

    Forget the engagement photoshoot. The photos of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on South Melbourne Beach look straight out of a magazine. I need a poster ASAP.

    My momma always told me to marry a man who makes you laugh and these two have me believing her advice. The pair always seem to have time for a quick joke and a giggle.

    On literally day one, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex took the quintessential Australian tourist photo. The pair were introduced to a pair of koalas in Taronga Zoo, Ruby and her baby — who was named after the Duchess of Sussex.

    They also said hello to this little guy, who really didn't seem all that thrilled to meet them.
