Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan's Australia visit

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited Australia for the first time since 2018.

Their tour took place between 14 and 17 April 2026, with the couple visiting Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra.

Meghan took to Instagram to give her fans a behind-the-scenes look at the trip. "Australia, you have our hearts," she wrote.

The footage includes her private appearance at a women-only retreat hosted by 'Her Best Life' podcast and co-host Gemma O'Neill.

The 44-year-old is also doing her makeup and going for a morning jog with Harry. There are also clips from formal engagements, including an engagement at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne.

Prince Harry visited the Australian War Memorial in Canberra on day two of the tour. "What happens after service is just as important as the service itself," the prince said.

The pair then headed to an event hosted by Invictus Australia. The duchess was gifted beach thongs with the words 'G'day Megs' printed on them.

The couple spent their final day of the tour in Sydney, where they reflected "on memory and resilience, celebrating the enduring power of community – bringing their four-day visit to a close".
