A smiling page boy behind Meghan Markle went viral after he captured the internet's heart._ by [Ashley Hoffman](https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/) ## Ashley Hoffman May 19, 2018 11:41 AM UTC by [Ashley Hoffman](https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/) ## Ashley Hoffman May 19, 2018 11:41 AM UTC At the [royal wedding](http://Everything to Know About Prince Harry and Prince William's Matching Royal Wedding Outfits http://time.com/5274140/prince-harry-wedding-outfit/) of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, it was a page boy who truly captured the internet’s hearts, forsaking all others. As [Meghan Markle](http://time.com/5278008/meghan-markle-wedding-tiara/) first began to make her way down the aisle in her stunning Givenchy wedding gown, cameras captured a wee page boy’s smiling face. He was peeking out just above just above her veil. It was one of [Jessica Mulroney’s seven-year-old twin sons](http://time.com/5279072/meghan-markle-bridal-party/), first-time page boy and all-time great, Brian Mulroney. He went viral for his joyful face that wordlessly communicated what everyone was feeling in that heart-stopping moment. This is the true love, the truest love of the royal wedding that will endure forever.
