Meghan Markle’s sparkle wasn’t lost on one young boy.
The mom-to-be confessed to the children that she had seen them perform before — when she snuck into their show in December.
“You guys did an amazing job when I saw you perform right before Christmas,” she told them. “I snuck in and watched. It was great, I didn’t want to leave.”
She continued, “So this will be like a take two. But you’re much quieter than when I was last here!”

The children knew they’d be performing for a “VIP,” but they were shocked to find out it was Meghan.
Pacolli added, “She came and shook my hand and I’m never going to wash this hand again!”

His classmate Tahmina Begum, 10, told reporters, “We didn’t know Meghan was coming, I thought it was maybe another actress — Emma Watson.”
Meghan also met current and former apprentices who are working as technicians in various departments, including carpentry, metalwork and painting.

The Duchess of Sussex, 37, “is a strong believer in using the arts to bring people from different backgrounds and communities together, and this first official visit to The National Theatre will explore the work they do, as well as meeting some of the talented teams and apprentices working behind the scenes,” her office said in a statement.
Meghan completed her look with a fun updo and carried the Metropolitan Insignia clutch from Carolina Herrera, which shepreviously used at Trooping the Colour last summer.
