1. Schoolboy charms the world

The Duke and Duchess spent day 2 of the royal tour in Dubbo, New South Wales, where they met with local schoolchildren at the Royal Flying Doctors Service hangar.

Five-year-old Luke Vincent was overjoyed to meet the couple and stole the show, when he gave Meghan a huge hug and rubbed Harry’s beard.

2. Meghan plays the role of protective wife

The Duke and Duchess then travelled to a local farm, where Harry gave a heartfelt speech, in which he acknowledged the difficult times many farmers have gone through, during the drought.

Ironically, at that moment, there was a huge downpour and Meghan did her best to try and keep her husband dry with an umbrella.
