The royal couple went over to him and excitedly he gave Meghan her present. It was a necklace made with a blue ribbon and gold-painted pasta. No one actually expected her to wear it but without hesitation, she put it on, and it complimented her custom-made navy blue Dion Lee outfit perfectly.

Beaming, Gavin later said:

“It was my idea …but Mum helped a bit. I dipped the pasta with gold paint. Mum helped me thread through the necklace.”

Luke, who has Down’s syndrome, could not get enough of Prince Harry’s facial hair, and the exchange between little Luke and the royals warmed the hearts of everyone that witnessed the sweet interaction between them.

While in Sydney the royal couple received another adorable gift. Their visit to Taronga Zoo had them coo over Koala’s named after the royal pair and Meghan received a box with a gift inside for the little royal on the way.

Inside was a special kind of teddy bear named Angel of Love, created by a brand called Enchanting Angels based in Sydney. The teddy decorated with a Rose Quartz crystal claims to help in developing loving relationships from new love to births. The brand’s website:

“Children truly believe that after cuddling their Angel Teddy Bear, the crystal's energy helps them to feel better.”

Whether it's gift of a necklace of gold painted pasta or love inducing teddy bear the intentions are the same and equally touching.
