Photos: #IWD2020: 16 y.o British-Nigerian student Aker Okoye 'flirts' with Meghan Markle

A cheeky schoolboy received a hug from the Duchess of Sussex during a visit to an east London school, before telling his classmates: "She really is beautiful, innit?"
Meghan made a secret trip to Robert Clack Upper School in Dagenham on Friday and delivered a message for International Women’s Day - asking men to "value the women in your lives". After addressing pupils at an assembly, she invited head boy Aker Okoye on stage to give his view on why men need to be involved in the fight for women's equality.
The 16-year-old greeted Meghan and seemed to whisper to her, which prompted the whole room to erupt into cheers and screams. He then took the microphone and said: “She really is beautiful, innit?"
Meghan burst into laughter, before she wagged her finger at him, and then with a smile praised Aker’s “incredible confidence”.
He also got a hug from the duchess.
