“I asked her if I could have a hug and she hugged me back. It was just quite an amazing moment.”
She continued: “It just went through my mind and everyone was kind of cheering me on.
“I guess I just felt like I needed to in a way.

“I just wanted to show her that she’s welcome I guess. I just wanted to hug her after everything that’s happened.”
Meanwhile, Meghan made a touching comment to a Royal aide about a promise she made to a young mourner.
In a clip that went viral on social media it appears that an aide offered to take some of the flowers the duchess had been given by mourners.
While at first, social media users speculated that Meghan had been rude to the aide - it has now been revealed she actually wanted to keep her promise to mourners that she would place them at the gate on behalf of them.
It’s thought that she said: "I told them I'd place them over there so it's OK. Thank you. I appreciate it though."
Prince William, Harry, Kate, and Meghan met with crowds of mourners on Saturday speaking with them and collecting flowers from them.
The reunion of the two brothers was arranged over a text message as they put their differences aside to view tributes to the Queen.
They were last seen together in public at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June.
