Royal fans love the young boy left starstruck by Meghan Markle

Meghan Markle is warming the hearts of everyone she meets in her new role as the Duchess of Sussex.

And a picture of one young boy gazing adoringly at the former Suits actress proves just that, with the school kid looking besotted with Meghan Markle.

The pregnant Duchess visited the National Theatre in London on Wednesday, after being announced as patron of the organisation just a few weeks ago.

While she was there, she watched a performance by the children of Edith Neville Primary School in Camden.

And afterwards, one young boy couldn’t help but beam up at the Duchess as he sat on the floor while she spoke with him.

Kensington Palace posted a picture of the precious picture to their Twitter page, where royal fans fell in love with the adorable child.

“That boy is so adorable,” one person commented, while another said: “Yuppp he looked smitten with her.”

Meghan, who is due to give birth to her first child in the coming months, wore a blush pink blazer (£2,044) and co-ordinating dress by Brandon Maxwell (£1,728) with her Aquazzura Matilde pumps (£440) and her Carolina Herrera ‘Insignia’ roll clutch bag (£720) for the visit.

It was Meghan’s first engagement as a patron of the theatre after the Queen passed the role onto her earlier this month.

In her past life, the former actress had several roles in TV series and films, but the one she was most known for was playing paralegal Rachel Zane on Suits from 2011 to 2017.
