On July 23, Prince Harry met with the celebrated primatologist and conservationist Jane Goodall at Windsor Castle while a charity event for Goodall's Roots & Shoots was underway. What the media didn't expect was for a secret meeting to be unveiled that had unknowingly happened a while back.

At the charity event, it was revealed that it hadn't been that long since Harry and Jane had seen each other last. In fact, in an unconventional manner, the pair greeted each other with a "chimp greeting", something Harry had obviously learned prior, in which he bent down and patted Goodall on the head before the two hugged.

The Duke, who was visiting the event for support, as well as to meet the students and hear the presentations, listened to their work on conservation efforts and reducing plastic waste before addressing them. "As my grandmother, The Queen, once said, 'Sometimes the world's problems are so big we think we can do little to help. On our own, we cannot end wars or wipe out injustice, but the cumulative impact of thousands of smalls acts of goodness can be bigger than we imagine," he said to the group.

Soon after, Jane Goodall announced that she was so happy to have had the chance to visit the Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently at Frogmore Cottage. Proud of the opportunity to have "cuddled" baby Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, the media was then made aware of their previous meeting.

BAZAAR reports that Archie was only a bit over a month old when Goodall visited Frogmore Cottage, but for reasons unknown, Goodall waited to announce the visit until this week at her charity event at Windsor Castle.

Sources report that Meghan, being an environmentalist herself, couldn't help but go fan-crazy over Jane Goodall when she found out she was coming to their home. "You've been my idol since I was a child," Meghan reportedly said to her upon meeting. "I've hero-worshiped you all my life."

Idolizing Jane Goodall, Meghan couldn't wait to meet her but did manage to wait until Goodall's meeting with Prince Harry was coming to a close. Goodall recalls her encounter with the Duchess and her baby saying that baby Archie was "very cute, very gentle" and that Meghan was beyond excited to meet her, further normalizing Meghan in the eyes of the public despite her celebrity status.
