Little Gavin wanted only one thing on Thursday.
To say hello to a real life princess and give her the gift he'd spent all morning making.
Wedged against the barriers along Government House Drive in Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens, he got his wish.
Armed with a handmade sign for the Duchess of Sussex and a bit of courage, Gavin handed over the ribbon and gold-painted pasta accessory and Meghan Markle put it right on.
News.com.au spoke with Gavin and his mum, Rowan, before the royals arrived.
