Once he had the gift in hand, he decided to bring it to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s house himself! Yes, he literally just showed up!!! She continued:
Wow!
Who knew you could just show up?? Once he arrived at the property, Martin was stopped by security from behind the gate of the home, who wondered if he’d received an invitation from the couple. Laughing, Jennifer relayed:
After running an on-site background check on the shop owner, security allowed him to leave the gift, which entailed flowers, a card, balloons, and the bike.
