One young girl in particular caught the attention and the hearts of the royal newlyweds-to-be. Sophie Richards, a 10-year-old student initially spoke with Prince Harry. After she told him that she wanted to be an actress when she grows up, Prince Harry reached out to Meghan Markle to speak with the young girl.

Megan Markle, actress and former star of Suits, reportedly offered some words of encouragement.

“Meghan told me that I can achieve whatever I want to achieve,” Sophia said to People. “And Meghan said she would like to see me on TV when I become an actress.”

Megan Markle was also captured giving the aspiring star a big hug. Whatever Markle said, it definitely had a lasting impression on the student. Richards said that she will remember their conversation for the rest of her entire life.
