During a sailing event on Sydney Harbor last weekend, bothHarry and Meghan received hugs from an American athlete. He wrapped his arms tightly around Harry as Meghan observed and laughed. The bear-like embrace was so intense that Harry was lifted off the ground!
“Now that’s a hug!” Meghan exclaimed. “Nicely done.”
She then introduced herself with a handshake and a much tamer hug, as Harry advised the sailor to not give pregnant Meghan the same greeting. “No, I know,” the man said, laughing with the couple, who areexpecting their first child in the spring.
