Meghan and harry follow in diana’s footsteps as they hug children

The excited youngsters surrounded a delighted Meghan during the pair visit’s to Star Hub in Tremorfa, Cardiff. And it appears Prince Harry is following in his late mother's footsteps as

he proved a natural with the youngsters.  Prince Harry told the children: “Everyone give Meghan a group hug - go.” The giggling youngsters then embraced the Suits actress who seemed to love

every moment. After a few seconds, Harry joked: “And release. She’s mine.” Meghan also joined the children for a game of Jenga and the pair watched them perform a dance routine. Harry even

joined in at one stage while a beaming Meghan clapped along and the couple comforted a little girl who became overwhelmed by the royal visit. One of the children told Harry: “I’m going to

dance at your wedding.” Meghan exclaimed: “Wow guys, well done. Such good dancers. It was amazing, guys that was so cool. "We are so pleased to be here. We love the fact you guys do

this every day.  “Oh my gosh, you guys are so sweet." Despite being new to the Firm, the 36-year-old actress took it all in her stride. She was hugged, kissed and mobbed during the

course of her visit to Cardiff, only her third official outing with Harry. The scenes brought back memories of Princess Diana who pioneered a warmer, hands-on approach with those she met on

royal occasions. Earlier, hundreds of people braved the cold to catch a glimpse of the happy couple who arrived at Cardiff Castle an hour late after train delays. Meghan was even asked to go

on a hen do in the city, telling a well-wisher she would “love to”. The American actress revealed she was making her first trip to Wales and described the experience to one well-wisher as

"amazing". As they shook outstretched hands during a walkabout in the castle grounds, Prince Harry repeatedly apologised for being late but was soon forgiven. Harry and his

fiancee, who wore a coat by Stella McCartney and trousers by Welsh brand Hiut Denim, responded to the enthusiasm of the crowds by posing for pictures and collecting gifts. The couple

embraced all things Welsh, warmly accepting a carved wooden Welsh love spoon - a gift from the people of Wales and presented by their namesakes Megan Taylor, nine, and six-year-old Harry

Smith. And they also tried a Welsh cake which left Meghan gasping: "Wow, it's great". When Harry first arrived at the castle he clasped his hands together in front of him as

if praying, in a sign of forgiveness, as he was greeted by Morfudd Meredith, the Lord-Lieutenant of South Glamorgan, and said sorry for being late. Linda Thompson, 66, from the town of Dinas

Powys, just outside Cardiff said after chatting to the Prince: "I said to Harry good choice of bride. “He said 'would you prefer a Welsh lady?' and I said 'no she's

beautiful'." Self confessed royal fanatic Cynthia Osborne, from Bridgend, presented Meghan with a posy of daffodils, the national flower of Wales. The retired nurse, aged in her

60s, said: "Meghan said 'it's lovely to be in Wales'  I asked to see her engagement ring and she held it out and said 'I'm such a lucky lady'.  “I told her

to come back to Wales."
