Prince Harry and Meghan in Australia

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were greeted by divided reception as they began their first tour of the country as private citizens.

Meghan carried out a solo engagement at a homeless shelter, where residents praised her 'wrinkle-free' skin, while Harry met with workers at the men's health charity Movember.

The trip has sparked debate over its 'quasi-royal' nature and the couple's commercial ties, including a high-priced wellness retreat.

Despite the scrutiny, the couple has focused on personal connections, including Harry's enthusiastic interaction with a young red-haired fan at a children's hospital.
