Harry and Meghan arrive in Australia as their four-day tour begins

  • The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have begun a four-day "quasi-royal" visit to Australia, their first trip to the country since 2018.
  • The privately funded itinerary spans Melbourne, Canberra, and Sydney, combining charitable endeavours with commercial engagements.
  • Their schedule includes visits to a children's hospital, a women's homeless service, and events supporting military veterans and their families.
  • Prince Harry is set to deliver a keynote address on psychosocial safety, while Meghan will headline a wellness retreat, with tickets for some events costing thousands of Australian dollars.
  • This visit differs from traditional royal tours as it is undertaken in a private capacity, includes paid events, and features no public walkabouts.
