Prince Harry had the most hilarious reaction to a young boy who didn’t want to stop touching Meghan Markle’s hair during their trip to Ireland.

The encounter took place at Dublin’s Croke Park on Wednesday. Markle let her hair down after keeping it in a bun during the day when she and Prince Harry met President Michael Higgins. While at the park, Walter Kieran, 3, couldn’t resist holding the Duchess of Sussex’s locks. At one point, the young boy even touched Markle’s face.

Markle immediately warmed up to Kieran and interacted with him while he was being carried by his dad. Prince Harry jokingly wagged his fingers at Kieran as though he was trying to warn him from touching his wife’s hair and face.

This is not the first time that Markle and Prince Harry shared a sweet moment with children during their trip to Ireland. Earlier this week, the 33-year-old prince allowed four-year-old Dylan Mahon to tug his beard. He even told the boy that one day he might grow his own beard, too.

Prince Harry and Markle appear to be very fond of children. This is the reason why they decided to bring together all of the kids who were part of their entourage for a group photo.

“They wanted to see their family and see the kids and be together. So when it was time to take a photo, it was really easy and harmonious and joyful, and Harry was playing with the kids,” makeup artist Daniel Martin told People.

In related news, there are rumors suggesting that Markle and Prince Harry will have children of their own soon. Katie Nicholl, a royal expert, previously told Entertainment Tonight that her sources informed her the couple is planning on getting pregnant.

“My sources are saying that Prince Harry, particularly, is keen to start a family, pretty soon after the royal wedding. He’s made no secret about wanting children,” she said.

However, other sources say that Prince Harry and Markle will most likely follow in Prince William and Kate Middleton’s footsteps and wait for a year or two before they get pregnant.
