Meghan Markle shows off acting skills as she reads at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles

Meghan Markle had a Princess Diana moment on March 21 when she stopped by to visit the Los Angeles’ Children’s Hospital.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, surprised patients and staff members last month during the hospital’s month-long campaign, Make March Matter.

The event brings together individuals and businesses to support children’s’ health.

During Markle’s appearance, she read books such as “Rosie the Riveter,” “Pete the Cat” and “I Saw a Cat” as part of the segment Literally Healing.

Markle donned a white blouse, a black mask and a floral skirt for the day.

Literally Healing is a reading program that gifts families at the Children’s Hospital more than 65,000 books annually.

The “Suits” alum also took part in STEAM activities with patients, including coloring, problem solving and counting numbers.

The appearance was reminiscent of Prince Harry’s late mom, who died in August 1997 at age 36.

In 1989, the Princess of Wales famously traveled to New York to see the pediatric AIDS unit at Harlem Hospital.

“These children were so very, very ill, and, at the time, not much was known about how to assist them. It was just really heartbreaking. There was so much misinformation about AIDS that people believed: You couldn’t touch a doorknob or sit on a toilet or you would get it,” Gwen Elliot-McIntosh, a Harlem Hospital administrator who encountered Diana at the time, said.

“Diana picked up a baby and looked at the baby like there was no one else in the room . . . She talked to [the children] and hugged them. She gave them love,” she told Page Six in 2020.

Diana also fought against the stigma around AIDS in 1987, when she visited the Middlesex Hospital in London and refused to wear gloves when meeting patients.
