Harry and Meghan Visit Australia

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's arrival in Australia has been met with a mix of 'royal fever' and public skepticism.

The couple's itinerary includes visits to a children's hospital and meetings with veterans, but their use of commercial flights and ticketed public appearances has raised eyebrows.

Critics have accused the Sussexes of treating the country 'like an ATM' while demanding taxpayer-funded security for a private tour.

Despite the backlash, large crowds turned out in Melbourne to catch a glimpse of the couple as they kicked off their tour.
