Well this is delightful news! While the comings and goings of visitors at Meghan and Harry’s Frogmore Cottage home are usually a mystery, one guest has shared a few details about her own royal pop-in.
Getting to know Archie
Dr Jane Goodall – scientist, legend and friend of all primates – revealed she had visited the Sussexes at home, spending time with the new little royal in his own habitat.
The brilliant 85-year-old confirmed that she had actually met Archie earlier this week, even having a snuggle with the famous and extremely popular bub.
But that’s not all. Duchess Meghan was also thrilled to connect with Jane, telling her that she’d been a real inspiration to her.
“She told me she’s followed me all her life. She told me, ‘You’ve been my idol since I was a child. I’ve hero worshipped you all my life,'” Jane said.
Harry goes ape sh*t
Of course, we already pretty much knew that Prince Harry was a paid-up member of the Jane fan club too.
The Sussex Royal Instagram account shared some footage of Harry and Jane role-playing a chimp greeting a couple of days ago, and it was clear the pair were very fond of one another.
“She is a woman of kindness, warmth, immense knowledge and a softness that’s needed by mankind just as much as it is chimpkind,” he told media on Tuesday.
“I’ve been admiring her work since I was a kid, and it was so wonderful to find that she was even more amazing in person.”
Jane says that Harry’s super into her Roots & Shoots environmental awareness program aimed at young people.
“I told him, ‘Of course you’re interested in Roots & Shoots, especially now you have a baby,'” Jane told reporters.
“And he said, ‘Yes, of course.’ When you bring a child into the world today you have to worry about the future. If we don’t make change we don’t have a future, it’s as simple as that.”
The Dr Jane Goodall Institute is also one of the Sussex’s 15 featured charities this month on Instagram. Brilliant.
