Per the Scottish Sun, Okoye's note in full reads;

"Dear Harry and Meghan. Harry, hope you don’t mind me writing this letter.

"I hope you didn’t mind me cuddling your wife. I was just overwhelmed and shocked to see her arrive at my school.

"It was a pleasure to hear her speech and to speak in front of her as well. She is truly inspirational.

"I nearly met you [Harry] last year when you came to East London to open the Future Youth Zone but I was away with the school. I hope to meet you one day.

Good luck for the future. With kind regards, Aker."

Per Sky News, the 16-year-old later told the Sun:

"I've written the letter to make sure Harry doesn't have a problem with it and to say sorry really and that I hope he didn't mind.

"Meghan didn't - she found it funny and I'm sure Harry will as well.

"When she asked which brave young man wanted to do a talk, I jumped at the chance.

"I leapt up there. I thought it would be proper protocol to give her a cuddle.

"It's all a blur," he added.

According to the Evening Standard, the couple are scheduled to make their last royal engagement on Monday, as they - alongside other senior members of the royal family - attend the Commonwealth Day service, which takes place at Westminster Abbey.
