- Meghan Markle was engaged in an awkward hug onstage during the One Young World Summit opening ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall.
- Greeted by one of the organization's founders, Meghan went in for a hug, while Kate Robertson was performing a curtsy.
Duchess Meghan has had an eventful week. Following the airing of the documentary about her royal tour of southern Africa with Prince Harry, Meghan attended the opening ceremony of the One Young World Summit at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
The duchess looked stunning in her purple Aritzia dress, which she previously wore in January 2019 during a visit to Birkenhead. While Meghan looked effortlessly chic, it seems that several of the people she met found it impossible to keep their cool, which is more than a little understandable.
In fact, when One Young World co-founder Kate Robertson greeted Meghan onstage during the event, she found herself in a bit of a conundrum. Unsure of whether to curtsy, bow, or hug, Robertson covered her bases by doing all three.
Her actions resulted in a completely adorable moment, which Meghan went on to share on the @SussexRoyal Instagram account. Basically, if we met the Duchess of Sussex, we'd probably end up doing the exact same thing.
Luckily, Meghan helped Robertson recover, and the pair ended up having a sweet hug, but the awkward moment is still extremely relatable.

Later this week, Meghan is set to hold a round table discussion on global gender equality as part of the summit.
