Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made their visit to Birkenhead, England, more memorable to some blind children who had come out to greet the royals.
In a totally unprecedented move, the royal crouched down in order to let some of the blind children touch their faces.
Member of Parliament Frank Field told People about how the royal couple interacted with the children.
“In the square, there were some blind children who wanted to touch the royal faces because they couldn’t see them,” MP Field said. “Both of them went down on their haunches so the children could touch their faces.”
A Twitter user captured an interaction the royals had with the children – including when Meghan received a card in braille from a little girl.
Even sweeter. The little girl with the grey hat with a black bobble (My niece who is blind) Harry held on to her ensuring she was safe. Meghan went down on the floor to take a card she had made for her in braille. They'll make great parents .#PrinceHarry #MeghanMarkle @SkyNews pic.twitter.com/FsH67nOp5H

The royals are known for having special moments with kiddos on their outings! Prince Harry shared a hug with another child at the event after she made a sign about “ginger love.”
These royals are too cute!
