Prince Harry loves hugging – and he usually has children who wish to caress or pull his red beard.
But when Harry, 34, and his pregnant wife Meghan Markle, 37, visited Dubbo, Australia, little Luke Vincent, age 5, had a particular reason for wanting to touch the prince's hairy chin.
"Luke's thing is Santa," said Anne PEBLE, Anne van Dartel, director of Buninyong Public School in Dubbo. "And as soon as he saw it [Harry’s beard]we went into panic mode because it affects a member of the royal family! And he continued to do it. And he hugged him. So, what you and I can not afford, my beautiful friend can do. "
Harry was completely relaxed, van Dartel adds. He said, "Hello, young man. And Luke just said, "Hello, Harry. "And Prince Harry graciously understood that his language was limited, and he introduced him to his wife and said," She would also like a hug. "And he said," Luke, do you want him there? please give a hug to my wife too? "

"Then the young Luke handed flowers to the duchess and then she said," I would like a hug "so he went. And then he went back to Harry and gave him another big hug. The man with the beard. And that's him. That's the beauty of Luke. "

Van Dartel says that Luke, who has special needs, did not necessarily realize he was meeting a prince. "He just thinks he's met a nice man today. Who had a beautiful beard. Luke is a man of very few words, but very beautiful actions. What he can not express in his words, he does by his actions, "she adds.
"I was explaining to Prince Harry Luke's craze for beard and Santa Claus and he just laughed saying," How wonderful it is. "She said something like," Oh, what a nice little boy. "

The elementary school was part of a group of local schools invited to bring 20 students to meet the couple in Dubbo – and some of the students talked with Meghan about her pregnancy news. "Some students said they are happy to meet you, congratulations. Some girls were so excited, "she adds.
Dubbo is the second leg of the couple's flash tour and Harry made a speech about the local drought – just as the rain started.
The tour also takes the royal couple to Melbourne Wednesday, and then to the Pacific Islands of Fiji and Tonga. Then they travel to New Zealand towards the end of the 16-day trip.
