Sethunya Gibbons, 9, was waiting with her family in the crowd at the Sydney Opera House wearing a T-shirt with the words “girls can do anything” when she caught the attention of the Duke of Sussex before he called his wife over to meet her.
The Duchess then told the girl she reminded her of herself when she was younger, before Prince Harry took a photo of the group on the girl’s phone.
Someone in the crowd first told Meghan they thought the girl looked like her, to which she replied: “I was literally about to say the same thing.”
“You remind me so much of myself when I was younger. And I love your shirt,” she said to her young fan.
The girl posed with her grandma and later told 2dayfm of the exciting moment.
“When Harry came over to me, he came over first, he said ‘girls can do anything’ because that’s what it says on my shirt,” she said.
“Then he asked me if I wanted to meet his wife so I said ‘yes’ and then he asked me if I wanted him to take a photo of me and Meghan.”
Sethunya was with her grandmother Sharon Gibbons and cousin Rebecca Szekeres.
Her mum Rachelle Gibbons said: “Sethunya is very excited to be Meghan’s mini me.”
‘MAY GOD BLESS YOU!’ Meghan and Harry sent congratulations message by Royal wedding preacher Michael Curry
Michael Curry’s inspirational sermon was one of the highlights of the Royal Wedding.
He has now sent his blessing to the Royal couple as it was announced they were expecting.
Re-tweeting the Archbishop of Canterbury’s own congratulations he posted: “Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on the announcement that you are expecting your first child.
“May God bless and keep you.”
Earlier the Duke stopped to greet a war widow who he had met on previous tours to the country.
Prince Harry’s first official word on tour was “G’day” as he spoke at an afternoon reception at Admiralty House.
He said: “G’day your excellency, ladies and gentlemen, it is obviously great to be back in Australia.
“We’re both absolutely delighted to be here and really impressed to see you serving beer and tea at an afternoon reception in true Aussie style.
“Genuinely thank you for the incredibly warm welcome and the chance to meet so many Aussies from all walks of life and we also genuinely couldn’t think a better place to announce the upcoming baby.”
Prince Harry did not give any hints away as to what the sex of the baby was, pausing before saying “be it a boy or a girl”.
