Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Australia itinerary looks like 'carbon copy' of 'royal tour playbook' but how will it go?

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex visit the Royal Children's Hospital on April 14, 2026.

This week the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are visiting Australia. Initially I was told by their people that this was NOT a tour; rather a series of 'private business meetings', looking at 'potential supply partners and chains' for Meghan's As Ever brand with 'not much media'.

When I asked if Harry was even going to do anything (aside from a corporate speaking engagement at a mental health summit), we both joked that he could do some surfing or maybe something with Invictus. So imagine my surprise, when I was sent their four day public itinerary last week, to see it looked like a carbon copy of the royal tour playbook.
