It was the sweet royal moment straight from Cinderella, that even features its own charming prince – Harry!
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry proved there’s no business like shoe business when they were caught up with a young royal fan during an awards reception in South Africa.

The couple were at a reception at the residence of the British High Commissioner, when Meghan struck up a conversation with Point of Light recipients Jade Bothma and Hunter Mitchell.
When Harry popped over to talk to the kids, Jade turned to greet him – at which point one of her shoes slipped off and became caught.
Noticing the moment, Meghan to call it a ‘Cinderella moment’, before Harry attempted to assist the teen.
Meghan was wearing a recycled striped olive-coloured maxi dress, which she has previously worn in Australia.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl told ET. ‘This dress was significant because she stepped out in it just days after announcing her pregnancy, which I think has led to some speculation that “Could we be hearing imminent news of another royal baby?”’
So is another royal baby already on the way?
According to Express, the photos have created a buzz online amongst royal observers, with one user writing ‘Meghan Markle changes into the same blue dress she wore when she was pregnant last year on Royal Tour!’
This isn’t the first time the royal family’s outfit choices on their royal tour caught the attention of fans.
Recently, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex dressed baby Archie in a knitted bobble hat – a hat that resembled one worn by Prince Harry at six months old.
In 1985, His Royal Highness was carried by his mother Princess Diana off a plane at Aberdeen Airport in March that year – wearing a cream outfit that featured a bobble hat.
The tribute by the royal couple didn’t go unnoticed by royal fans, who according to the Daily Mail, said it brought back “great memories” of Prince Harry as a child.
The publication reported that one observer wrote, ‘Love when they channel past looks!’ while others noted the striking resemblance the father and son shared.
‘So alike in these pics!” said one fan, followed by another who wrote, “Archie is 100% his father.’
