Meghan Markle Breaks Royal Protocol After Spotting an Old Pal During Christmas Service

When Meghan Markle attended Christmas church service with the royal family this year, she not only shared a touching moment with Kate Middleton, but she reunited with an old pal. As the Duchess of Sussex made her way into the church with Prince Harry on Tuesday, she noticed a familiar face in the crowd: Jessica Daniels's. After spotting Jessica in the crowd, Meghan made her way over to her and gave her a big hug. Jessica is a young fan who used to exchange messages with Meghan on Instagram before she famously deleted her account.

Following the sweet moment, Jessica gushed about the encounter on Instagram. "Today was an absolute dream. I'm so glad I decided to watch Suits many years ago because it meant I discovered this kind-hearted, caring soul who I'd become to love so much," she wrote. "Thank you for everything in the past couple years - I'll never forget it - from the conversations about social issues + chatting to each other about your blog and your love for food. I love you always. 💖"

Of course, most of us are aware by now that hugging goes against royal protocol. But hey, let's not forget that royals have feelings, just like everyone else.
