Sergel, who has spoken about her mental health challenges on Instagram, told New Zealand’s 1 News that Meghan had been there for her when she was struggling.

“I was friends with her on Instagram before she had to deactivate her account. We used to have conversations and stuff on there. She would tell me to do well at university and encourage me to be myself.”

Before the royal couple’s appearance in Auckland, Sergel travelled from her home in Christchurch and waited for hours holding a sign reading: “It’s Hannah from Instagram.” And Meghan’s response to seeing her is so sincere we’re pretty sure it could melt the heart of the staunchest republican.

“She said, ‘Thank you for getting in touch,’ and then she gave me a hug and said she would read my letter that I gave her,” Sergel said.

We have no doubt that she will – especially after Prince Harry prevented Sergel’s letter from being swept away by security:
