Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have spent the past few days in Ireland on their first official royal tour as Duke and Duchess of Sussex - and to say they have been living their best lives would be a massive understatement.

The two-day mini moon has been jam-packed, marking Prince Harry’s first ever time to Ireland, involving garden parties, a coding session, a visit to Trinity College, and of course a couple of cuddles with the President of Ireland’s dogs.

The moment that everyone has been talking about however took place when the newlyweds visited Croke Park, and three-year-old Walter Cullen reached out and grabbed Meghan’s hair, something hubby Prince Harry caught.

The photos show the three-year-old touching the now Duchess of Sussex’s hair, prompting Harry to jokingly tell him off, something Walter reacted to in a very sweet way.

While this may be a new experience for Meghan, Prince Harry is used to encounters with cheeky children, seen jokingly telling off another toddler, Emily Henson, when he caught her stealing his popcorn at the 2017 Invictus Games.

It's hardly surprising that these photos are getting royal fans excited about the thought of a Harry-Meghan baby. Not only would the royal baby be gorgeous, but just look at how good they would be as parents!
