Our hearts can’t cope!

We all agree that Prince Harry is an absolute gent, right?

Just this week he broke royal protocol in the cutest way possible, and we’re weeping.

While visiting Sussex, the place that his royal title is home to, Prince Harry and Meghan met with locals.

Harry caused quite a stir when he greeted a woman called Lydia, and gave her a kiss on the hand.

The SCANDAL!

Traditionally, members of the royal family don’t shake hands or touch members of the public, but Harry didn’t seem to care.

The woman in question was in her 80s, and was so excited to meet the royal pair.

Francesca Troon, who captured the footage, commented on the encounter:

“They were actually on the opposite side of the street and heard people shouting their names out on our side.”

“Meghan made a beeline for this lady, she was elderly in her eighties.”

“Meghan asked her for her name and where she came from. Then Harry came over and Meghan introduced the lady to Harry.”

“The lady was so excited and she said she felt so lucky that Harry had kissed her hand.”

How cute is that?
