Meghan Markle’s first day in Australia came with a heartfelt moment and a compliment she clearly didn’t see coming.
While visiting McAuley Women’s Community Services in Melbourne, a shelter that supports homeless and domestic violence women and families, the Duchess of Sussex joined staff to serve lunch and sit with residents.
Dressed in a navy striped apron, Meghan helped serve the food before sitting at the table while chatting with the women.
“Is anyone else hungry?” He asked with a smile, adding, “We landed here this morning, so my jet lag hasn’t hit yet.”
It was during these candid conversations that one resident couldn’t resist sharing her admiration.
“Oh, you look amazing like a model. You have kids but no wrinkles,” she said warmly.
Taken by surprise but clearly touched, Meghan laughed and replied: “Oh, that’s so generous, you’re so kind.”
The exchange ended on a simple but sweet note, with the woman adding, “It was nice meeting you.”
The visit followed an earlier stop at the Royal Children’s Hospital for a day focused on connection and community.
