Meghan and Harry's Australian tour will be ‘very interesting' for 1 reason
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are travelling to Australia this month.
www.express.co.ukHere’s the latest on Harry and Meghan’s Australia trip.

They arrived in Australia in mid-April 2026 for a four-day visit focused on mental health, veterans’ issues, and community resilience. The sequence included Melbourne, Canberra, and Sydney with engagements at a children’s hospital, a women’s shelter, a veterans’ event, a mental health summit, and a sailing/rugby finale.

The visit was described as privately funded, with some local costs for policing reportedly offset by taxpayers in Australia, and there was public interest and petitions around the cost disclosures. Meghan was also slated to lead a private wellness retreat in Sydney after the official engagements.
-
Media coverage framed the trip as a low-key, non-royal-tour-style visit, emphasizing private and philanthropic engagements rather than official royal duties. Multiple outlets highlighted their emphasis on mental health, veteran support, and community initiatives during the Australian leg.
-
Notable moment: their Australia trip built on Harry’s Invictus Games legacy, with activities tying into veteran recovery, sports, and wellness, and it followed their prior 2018 tour to Australia.
