Hold up, we have a new spirit animal. Yes, 97-year-old Daphne Dunne stole our hearts earlier today when she received a kiss from Prince Harry (her second one, to be precise).

The royal is currently promoting The Invictus Games in Sydney, Australia and made sure to take time out to greet fans outside the Opera House. And due to a storm, well-wishers ended up drenched while waiting to see the 32-year-old.

But for Daphne, it was worth it. Prince Harry spotted her from a distance and went straight in for a peck on the cheek. The pair first met back in 2015, when the prince was working with the Australian Defence Force.

"He kissed me on the other cheek this time," Daphne gushed to The Telegraph. "He really is a lovely young and he's warm and genuine and really cares about the injured servicemen and women, he's doing a fantastic job supporting them."
