The Duchess of Sussex has won praise for everything from her sense of style to her charity work, but it was something rather more low-key that attracted fans' attention last night.
Meghan, 37, was hailed as 'humble' and 'down to earth' after she closed her own car door outside the Royal Academy of Arts in London.
While royals typically have their car doors opened and closed by a member of staff, Meghan didn't think twice about shutting her own before making her way inside the building.

And etiquette expert William Hanson said it was yet another sign Meghan intends to do things 'her own way'.
'The Duchess of Sussex closing her own car door is yet another silent signal that she is going to be doing things her own way and helping adapt and progress the British monarchy,' he said.
'Whether she thought long and hard about it before it happened, I doubt it, I suspect it was force of habit, but it is interesting to see that many have noticed as usually dignitaries have a member of staff to do this for them.

Royal supporters questioned how the moment had come to pass, with many deciding that the duchess simply did not see herself as someone in need of this extraordinary treatment
'That comes from a security point of view, mainly, not just for perpetuating airs and graces.'
However he noted: 'There would have been little security bother last night with Meghan closing her own door as she exited the car on the side closest to the Royal Academy.'
The duchess was on hand to open the 'Oceania' exhibition in her first solo outing as a member of the Royal Family.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
