Laura Woodley, 23, gets to have a personal chat with Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, on the Royals tour to Mountain View Farm near Wongarbon. Meghan was ready for some farm help and put out some cottonseed for the cattle and knew about soil moisture issues. She later gave the Woodleys a personally baked banana bread loaf. "We always take a plate when we're visiting," Meghan said of the Markle US tradition. Photo by Rachael Webb.
