Meghan Markle will not let a temporary fright stop him from spending time with Prince Harry in Melbourne, Victoria.
While they were heading to the government reception for young Victorian leaders on Thursday, the royal couple attended several sports demonstrations, including a student-run Formula One race project.
Giving Meghan, 37, the royal honors of launching the F1 mini-cars installed on a dining table, she pressed the button but was completely surprised by the incredibly strong explosion that followed.
"I did not expect that!" She exclaims laughing at her own nervous reaction.
Meanwhile, 34-year-old Harry looked as happy as a child in a toy store, beaming toward cars and mocking his wife's surprise reaction. "We did not really expect it," he joked. He even had his fist pumped when they were invited to try the cars.
As news.au.com reports, the young boys who presented the award-winning miniature F1 cars asked if Meghan would like to run them again, but she politely refused. Harry, meanwhile, was intrigued by their design and wanted to know more about the cars, asking them if they were printed in 3D.
"The 3D printing being put to good use," he tells them. "It's fantastic."

While the boys showed their car project, the girls on the outside showed their sports skills.
Meghan met the ambassadors of This girl can, an organization that encourages women to play sports.
During the outing, Meghan demonstrated her athleticism by playing around an AFL football and showing off her best hand skills.
AFL, which meets the standards of the Australian Football League, is the most popular game in Victoria, but is played everywhere in Australia.

After the event, the royal couple, who announced Monday that he was expecting his first child, visited Mission Australia's social enterprise restaurant, Charcoal Lane, on the third day of his tour Royal to Down Under.
In the kitchen, Executive Chef Greg Hampton explained to the couple that the restaurant provided advice and opportunities to Aboriginal youth who needed a fresh start in life. They were treated to a cooking demonstration featuring Australian cuisine, where Meghan and Harry could taste herbs.

The kitchen took place in the alley of the Duchess of Sussex!
Meghan held her first luncheon at the palace last month to launch a special cookbook that she helped create. She wrote the preface for Together: our community cookbook, Which features recipes from a group of women whose community was affected by the Grenfell Tower fire, in which more than 70 people died.
Accompanied by Prince Harry and his mother, Doria Ragland, Meghan helped make chapatis and transform koftas on a grill under a large tent on the grounds of Kensington Palace. In a speech to the guests, she said the project had been an "extraordinary job of love".
