In the Year 2018, We Are All This Young Woman, Sobbing Over a Hug From Prince Harry

A hug from Prince Harry? Yeah, we'd sob too. During the famous royal's tour of Australia [1] with wife Meghan Markle [2], he greeted fans during a walk through the Royal Botanic Gardens of Melbourne, and one young woman in particular had an extraemotional reaction.

It's no secret that Harry's got quite a fan base — from infants [3] to the elderly [4] — out to see him at each of his tour stops. But for 19-year-old India Brown, getting a hug from the prince was the reason for happy tears.

"Prince Harry just hugged me," India told The Herald Sun [5]. "I didn't expect it to happen because it's actually against protocol. . . . He is someone I've looked up to for many, many, many years. Everything he stands for is amazing. I said, 'I know it's against royal protocol, but can I please have a hug?' He hugged me and I burst into tears. He just said, 'Oh, you're going to get me in trouble.'"

Aw! India is right; usually, hugging royals is against protocol, but Harry's already made a few exceptions to the rules [6] during the tour — sometimes they're meant to be broken, right?
