A 16-year-old fanboy apologized to Prince Harry for hugging the princess after the Duchess of Sussex visited Robert Clack Upper School in Dagenham, England.

Aker Okoye has been a long fan of Meghan Markle. With the beauty and charisma that the Duchess has, no wonder that many would want to meet her and many would want to know why Prince Harry fell in love with the former American actress.

Meghan Markle has been a well-known feminist and in honor of International Women's Day, she visited the Robert Clack Upper School where she asked a male student about what the day meant for them. Luckily, the school's head boy Aker Okoye was allowed to join her on stage.

Okoye was astonished by the beauty of Meghan Markle and he gave a big hug to the Duchess. The Duchess also laughed after Okoye exclaimed, "She really is beautiful, innit?"  

In a news article published a day after the event, it was reported that Okoye asked for an apology to Prince Harry. He said: "I hope you didn't mind me cuddling your wife. I was just overwhelmed and shocked to see her arrive at my school."

In an interview with Okoye, he recalled what happened during that day and he described it as the best moment in his life and he also explained why he wrote an apology letter to Prince Harry.

In the recently published article, Okoye said that he wanted to clear up everything most especially for hugging Meghan Markle. He explained: "If that was my wife and I had this random child [hug her] ... I don't think he's threatened by it [but] I thought it was polite to do so. It was out of my own kindness. If Meghan Markle wasn't as big as she is, I would still say sorry for that. I just thought it was genuinely polite to do so. It didn't feel as if I was forced into it."

However, even though Okoye felt that he needs to write an apology letter to the Prince but the footage during the event showed on how Meghan happily embraced the hug of Okoye. She even smiled and laugh. It is just that Okoye was amazed to meet the Duchess of Sussex.

Okoye admitted that he was very amazed and he also recounted that Meghan Markle asked for his name. He cannot remember everything about what happened during that day but one thing is just for sure for him, Meghan Markle was very cool. 

The funny part during the event was his speech which he said was impromptu. He was not able to prepare for it. He said that he used to speak in front of the public but not in front of a royal. It is something that made him so nervous.

It is a very rare opportunity to meet Meghan Markle in person and have a hug with her. He described the Duchess as very humble, an amazing person, down-to-earth, and very inspirational. No wonder why Prince Harry fell in love with her. She is truly beautiful inside and outside.
