When Meghan Markle [1] attended Christmas church service [2] with the royal family this year, she not only shared a touching moment with Kate Middleton [3], 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 [4].
Following the sweet moment, Jessica gushed about the encounter [5] 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 [6]. But hey, let's not forget that royals have feelings [7], just like everyone else.
