Prince Harry's Biggest Fan Daphne Dunne Dead at 99

Prince Harry has lost a beloved fan. 

The royal's longtime superfan Daphne Dunne died on Monday, BBC News reported, citing her family. 

Just days earlier, the Australian native and war widow had celebrated her 99th birthday in the hospital along with a message from the Duke of Sussex and his famous wife, Meghan Markle. 

"Today I celebrated my 99th birthday. I received a lovely message from Prince Harry and Meghan which really made my day," an Instagram account purportedly belonging to Dunne read. 

"I wanted to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday, it means a lot and has touched my heart."

Dunne quickly became a familiar face in the crowd when the dad-to-be visited Australia. 

The two first met in 2015. 

"The very first time our eyes met, I knew this was the start of something very special," Dunne said of the moment on Instagram.
