I hope you didn’t mind me cuddling your wife. I was just overwhelmed and shocked to see her arrive at my school. It was a pleasure to hear her speech and to speak in front of her as well. She is truly inspirational. I nearly met you, Harry, last year when you came to East London to open the Future Youth Zone but I was away with the school. I hope to meet you one day. Good luck in the future. With kind regards, Aker." Meghan Markle Joins Prince Harry After She Returns in UK for Final Royal Duties.
