Both Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle spent part of their Sunday at royal engagements, and both women got surprise gifts for their babies Prince Louis (Kate's one-year-old son) and Archie Harrison (Meghan's two-month-old boy). Hello! got details on the very different presents the duchesses got at their separate events.

Kate was at Wimbledon for the Gentlemen's Singles Final with her husband Prince William. There, tennis legend Stan Smith, who was watching the match, gave the Duchess of Cambridge a tiny pair of Adidas Stan Smith sneakers with "Prince Louis" written across them in gold. Smith also signed the shoes, making them a real priceless gift. Photographers captured the gift exchange:

Meghan, meanwhile, attended The Lion King premiere with her husband Prince Harry. She got a gift for Archie from two 12-year-old girls Evie Chambers and Valentina Walker, who she met on her way into the theater. Evie and Valentina, whose parents were associated with Disney according to Hello!, gave Meghan "a bouquet, a book, and a cuddly Simba toy" for Archie. The girls called the moment "amazing," and added that Meghan asked them who their favorite character from the film was. "We said Simba and Nala," Evie told Hello!. "I told her this is for you, and she seemed really delighted."
