Harry and Meghan Australia Tour

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex began their trip with a visit to a children's hospital and a meeting with veterans, drawing large crowds of well-wishers.

While advocates praise their focus on humanitarian issues, critics have questioned the timing as Meghan prepares to launch her lifestyle brand in the region.

The couple's itinerary includes a mental health summit and hospital engagements in Canberra and Sydney.

This visit marks their first return to Australia since their official 2018 tour, though they are now acting as private citizens.
