The Duchess of Sussex’s generous nature was clear to see on Monday, when she rushed back into Maranui cafe to fetch the leftover cakes she and Prince Harry didn’t eat for waiting schoolchildren.
As soon as she saw several adorable children outside, Meghan quickly ran back towards the Wellington eatery and asked to take all of the slices and cakes that were left on the cafe plates.
When the cafe agreed, the cakes were then brought outside to give to the kids, who proudly smiled with their new sweet treats.
