Meghan receives flowers from sick child during sweet encounter at Australian hospital

The Duchess of Sussex received flowers from a sick child as she and the Duke of Sussex visited the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne on their first trip to Australia since their 2018 royal tour.

Prince Harry and Meghan met staff, patients, and members of the public, and took part in a meditative activity at the Kelpie Garden on the oncology and rehabilitation ward.

The Duchess received a potted pink lily from a young girl, and the pair also shared a hug at the hospital on Tuesday (14 April).

Their itinerary spans Melbourne, Canberra, and Sydney, and includes visits to a women’s homeless service and events supporting military veterans and their families, according to a statement provided to the media.
