Prince Harry and Meghan’s huge Aussie plans revealed. Visit to Sydney and Melbourne in Mid-April.

EXCLUSIVE

More than seven years after then-newlyweds Prince Harry and Meghan embarked on their hugely successful Aussie tour, the couple is reportedly heading back Down Under.

A source confirmed exclusively to news.com.au that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning to visit Sydney and Melbourne in mid-April.

While their last trip to our shores was in an official capacity as working members of the royal family, this time around they’re travelling as private citizens – and it’s understood they’ll be focusing on activities related to their businesses and philanthropic work.

Details of their specific plans remain unclear, but it’s been rumoured that Meghan will appear as a guest on the Her Best Life podcast, which was initially launched and co-hosted by Jackie “O” Henderson and Gemma O’Neill through their “Besties” company. Earlier this year, just a couple of weeks before her high-profile and abrupt recent exit from her KIIS breakfast show, Henderson revealed that she had decided to “step away” from the venture.

It’s rumoured that Meghan will also appear as a special guest at an upcoming “Besties” event, following in the footsteps of previous VIP speaker Gwyneth Paltrow.

The actress took part in a wide-ranging Q&A with Henderson back in 2023 which attracted around 3,000 ticketholders to the ICC in Sydney’s Darling Harbour – so Meghan’s appearance could be in a similar capacity.
Despite Henderson’s recent departure from the Besties company, she hinted last month that she may return in some capacity in the future - and perhaps Meghan’s involvement could be one such occasion.

While details of the couple’s itinerary are expected to be confirmed in the coming weeks, it’s likely that Harry’s plans will involve Australia’s armed forces or veterans’ community, given his strong connections to both.

It’s understood he also has a number of friends locally, fostered across multiple previous visits, including during his month-long stay with the ADF at an army barracks in Darwin back in 2015.
And in his 2023 memoir, Harry gushed over his time living in Australia as a 19-year-old in 2003.
He wrote in Spare that working as a jackaroo on a farm in rural Queensland had helped him find inner peace during what were “some of the best” weeks of his life.

It’s not yet known whether the Sussexes’ children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, will join them on the trip next month or stay back at the family’s home in Montecito, California.

News.com.au understands that the royal couple’s Aussie visit has been in the works for almost a year.

The pics of MM in that article are very unflattering.

I think he's panicking about the decision from RAVEC? Or was that decision made already? I can't keep up 🤣

You mean CG String reporting about Mr Mischief’s wife 🤣🤭🫣

Tangled web, indeed.

I know this is a little late but I have finally read that article, one thing stood out to me , CG is obviously pissed off with both Harry and Meghan, I have never seen one article written by her contain quite so many snarky comments!
slow hand clap for Harry in managing to alienate one of the journalists who was supportive.

Yes not the usual airbrushed images we see.

This whole Australian debacle just highlights that the British tax payer should in no way be paying for their ego driven, money grabbing commercial ventures.

Now that I know her name, I can’t stop noticing it everywhere. It feels like the Sussex household has been unusually open with her. If that’s the case, Harry may have seriously misjudged the situation and put himself at a disadvantage here.

Clearly Harry/Harry's team are still in contact with Charlotte "movie snuggles" Griffiths to write pro-Harry puff pieces 😂

Then Harry repays the loyalty by dragging her into his court case and lying about her 🙄

I don't think RAVEC normally announce their decisions. We never hear anything about the RAVEC decisions about security arrangements for other RF members.

We only hear about Harry's because he throws a tantrum and leaks to the press or he announces something that has not been decided in an attempt to exert pressure on the decision makers.

Agree @Lunde. Charlotte Griffiths and Bryony Gordon have consistently written pieces sourced from the Sussexes. I suspect CG will be less keen to do so from now on.

RAVEC don't announce their decisions on any VIP, royal or not. The most recent reports have said that the decision has not yet been made, so presumably the writers have asked the Home Office.

He’s too thick to realise the consequences of his actions! , if he did he would not have been so surprised when his family cut him off!

Which one was the “ monogrammed doormat” ?

That was Bryony Gordon @jeffgoldblum. I wonder if she deliberately asked to be photographed there to show what a couple of idiots H and M are .

Thanks mylovely , you would hope so but I think she’s very sugary so doubtful, perhaps Harry will upset her too , then we might get the scoop!

Harry seems to have oddly toddler level thinking - that he can behave very badly and people will just give into him so he gets what he wants.

He bleats on about his "privacy" while selling his family's private moments for cash but then seems totally surprised when his family cut him off because they no longer trust him.

Same with "movie snuggles" - he is close to CG and she is obviously pretty supportive and writes supportive stuff much of the time but he chooses to throw her under the bus to maintain the lie that he would never speak to journalists.

I wonder if she also signs off as Bryony G-String?

🤣

If they ban all the journos that have bought tickets, there will be hardly anyone there.

She makes some very good points. She wasn’t going in an official capacity. She’s a fashion/shopping writer.

She’s been denied service because of her job title. Is that even lawful in Sydney (NSW)?

Although one does wonder if it was asking for a tax invoice that worried them. Is it all above board financially/legally?

The tax invoice thing is indeed odd. Surely it has to above board ?? If it is not, they are at serious risk of losing their titles (IMO). The RF cannot afford any more bad PR

I assumed it alerted them to it possibly being put down as a business expense, so they researched the person and found she was a journalist. Private individuals wouldn't usually want a tax invoice?

Did you mis-type? Surely it would be bad PR for Harry and Meghan, not the RF.

It's really not a provocative thing to ask for a tax invoice. Standard practice for most transactions.
