Children and animals fall under Meghan’s spell in Ireland

Three-year-old Walter Kieran might have been breaking royal protocol by trying to touch her hair, but the Duchess of Sussex reacted with nothing but smiles.

Meghan and Prince Harry were on the second day of their trip to Ireland when they met the youngster the Croke Park stadium in Dublin.

Earlier, they were welcomed by the Irish president’s dogs.

Meghan was back in her trademark sleek trouser suit and heels with her hair worn down, after several high profile events at which she adopted a more familiar royal look.
