Harry and Meghan in Australia

Harry and Meghan in Australia

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex landed via a commercial flight for their first visit to the country since 2018.

Their itinerary focuses on mental health, community resilience, and support for veterans, including a high-profile visit to the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne.

However, the trip has been met with mixed reactions, as a petition signed by over 45,000 Australians demands the couple cover their own policing expenses.

The visit marks a significant shift from traditional royal tours, combining philanthropic work with money-spinning public appearances.
