• Meghan ‘freaked out’ William by giving him a hug.
• It was a classic collision of cultures, both funny and charming.

Prince Harry is recalling Meghan Markle’s first encounter with Prince William.

In his biography ‘Spare,’ the Duke of Sussex describes how his new girlfriend ‘freaked out’ his older brother when she leaned in for a hug.

He writes: “Meg and I popped over one afternoon, shortly before he and I were due to leave on a shooting trip. After a wait the door opened and there was my big brother, a bit dressed up. Nice trousers, nice shirt, open collar.”

He added: “I introduced Meg, who leaned in and gave him a hug, which completely freaked him out. He recoiled. Willy didn’t hug many strangers. Whereas Meg hugged most strangers. The moment was a classic collision of cultures, like flashlight-torch, which felt to me both funny and charming.”
