The last time the Sussexes visited Australia in 2018, they were newly married, popular and still well within the royal fold.
Even so, this still looks very much like a royal visit — although officially, it very much is not.
Harry and Meghan will be travelling under their titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and spending much of the week making the rounds of various charities and causes they have aligned themselves with.

Harry and Meghan greeted by hushed ‘hiii’ in Melbourne hospital on first stop of Australian tour
Crowd turns out to welcome duke and duchess, who are combining public visits to worthy causes with private money-making appearances
When Prince Harry and Meghan walked through the doors of Melbourne’s Royal children’s hospital just after midday on Tuesday, a hush came over the crowd of staff and patients gathered to greet them. It was followed by a soft, collective “hiii†– as though the crowd felt that speaking too loudly might scare the duke and duchess away.
The couple walked in almost without ceremony on this first stop on their four-day Australian tour, greeting hospital management in the foyer before making their way around the arc of people gathered to see them, paying particular attention to children.

Sydney-based designer Karen Gee was waiting to see whether Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, would wear her Priscilla dress for her first Australian appearance.
It wasn’t until this masthead sent Gee a photo of Meghan greeting children at Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital that the designer favoured by Australia’s corporate high-flyers could confirm the wardrobe choice.
According to Gee, Meghan has a number of pieces from her collection, including the $1250 Priscilla in the label’s signature bonded fabric.
For her first day of her Australian visit, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has ditched the stealth-wealth style she has perfected in California and revived her royal polish.
