A FAMILIAR FACE

9-year-old Sethunya Gibbons was among the crowd that greeted the royal couple at the Sydney Opera House during their ongoing tour of Australia. She caught the attention of Prince Harry who noticed something familiar about her. She looked exactly like his wife when she was her age.

MEGHAN MEETS HER MINI-ME

Amazed at their similarity, Harry called Meghan to introduce her to her younger self. When Meghan met Sethunya, she acknowledged that they looked alike.

"You remind me so much of myself when I was younger. And I love your shirt."

Sethunya was wearing a T-shirt that read "Girls can do anything." Even Harry noticed and read it aloud when he first spotted her.
