News24 reported that Taya Liebenberg got to hand over a teddy for Meghan's son, Archie, and some flowers.
The girl's mother, Tam, said they've been excited about the Royals visiting SA for months and that the moment was special for them.
According to News24's report, Tam said:
"We were so excited for the last few months – we couldn’t wait for them to get here. They came out, and then I just started calling to Meghan, and I tried to get my little girl to call to her as well. And then she looked up, and my little girl was holding the teddy and the flowers.
"It’s a bit of a blur what happened. She took the flowers, and I couldn’t really see the interaction between her and my little one. I just heard her go 'Thank you so much', and I think she gave her a squeeze."
It is interactions like this one that has made Meghan such a favourite with the public - they are convinced that her heart is in the right place.
