Let me tell you something absolutely heartwarming! Prince Harry really stepped up as a gentleman during the royal tour when he went out of his way to protect his pregnant wife, Meghan Markle. This happened on Sunday, October 21, while they were visiting Sydney, Australia.

Harry’s Heartfelt Moment with a Sailor

Now, picture this: Prince Harry, who is 34 years old, found himself in the arms of an enthusiastic American sailor aboard a boat. The occasion? They were watching a sailing event in the stunning Sydney Harbor over the weekend. Meghan, 37 at the time, couldn’t help but laugh as she watched the entire encounter unfold. But here’s the kicker—Harry, with his signature red hair, didn’t want Meghan to experience the same kind of greeting. That bear hug was so intense that it actually lifted Harry off the ground! Thankfully, in a video shared by Kensington Palace on Twitter, Harry kindly asked the sailor to go easy on Meghan. “No, I know,” the sailor responded before giving her a much gentler embrace. It’s moments like these that remind us chivalry is alive and well!

Breaking Protocol: The Royal Hug

While the moment was sweet, Harry and Meghan seemed to break royal protocol during their visit. You see, according to the rules, members of the public are supposed to shake hands with royal family members—not hug them. But hey, who can blame them? That sailor must’ve been pretty excited to meet the couple!

The Big Announcement

Just a week earlier on Monday, October 15, Harry and Meghan dropped a bombshell by announcing they were expecting a baby. The news came via a statement from Kensington Palace, just one day before they arrived in Sydney for the start of their 16-day tour. The announcement read, “Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019.” They went on to express their gratitude for the support they’ve received since their wedding in May and were thrilled to share the happy news with the world.

After making the big announcement, Harry showed just how nervous he was about baby number one during a speech in Sydney. He said, “But 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 of a better place to announce the upcoming baby, be it a boy or a girl. So thank you very, very much.” We’re all eagerly awaiting the arrival of their little bundle of joy!
