Prince Harry and Meghan Markle received a warm welcome as they kicked off their first trip to Australia in nearly a decade, with the couple touching down in Melbourne on Tuesday, April 14. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are highlighting causes related to mental health, community resilience, and support for veterans and their families—and Meghan made a point to include Australian designers in both of her day-one outfits.
The couple followed in Princess Diana’s footsteps with their first visit of the trip, meeting patients and staff at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. In 1985, Prince Harry’s parents visited the same hospital, and for her first trip to the facility, Meghan chose a new dress by Australian designer Karen Gee.
