- Sussexes' visit to Australia extended
- Meghan's retreat and brand launch
- Harry reconnects with military ties
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are gearing up for a significant visit to Australia this month. Initially thought to be a brief trip focused on Meghan's participation at a retreat, the tour has now expanded into a more substantial engagement. Royal Editor Emily Nash revealed on 'A Right Royal Podcast' that the visit will be longer than expected, with a variety of public and private events. The couple will visit Melbourne, Canberra, and Sydney, where Meghan's retreat is scheduled, echoing their high-profile 2018 tour.

Meghan's Retreat and Brand Launch
Meghan Markle's involvement in the Her Best Life retreat was announced in March, with the event taking place from April 17 to 19. The retreat includes an in-person conversation and a gala dinner, with tickets starting at £1,400. Emily Nash speculated that the trip's scope expanded after Meghan's participation was confirmed, as she plans to launch her brand in Australia. A spokesperson for the couple stated, "Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will visit Australia in mid-April to take part in a number of private, business, and philanthropic engagements."
Harry's Military Connections
Prince Harry's connection to Australia extends beyond this tour. He spent time with the Australian Defence Force in 2015 and has a fondness for the country, as shared in his memoir, Spare. Harry's military ties will see him reconnecting with old friends and engaging with Australian veterans. His previous experiences in Australia, including his month-long stay at an army barracks in Darwin, have left him with cherished memories and a sense of camaraderie.
The upcoming visit is reminiscent of the couple's 2018 tour, where they attended the Invictus Games and engaged with mental health groups, drawing large crowds. This year's itinerary promises a blend of public appearances and private engagements, capturing the public's attention once again.
