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.

Did removal of AMW’s Duke title actually happen for real? I thought it had to be discussed by parliament. I don’t recall that actually happening.

We were only told A had agreed to not use the title in future, if I remember correctly.

Harry is an adult. How exactly is Charles supposed to do anything to stop him? He isn't an absolute monarch.

I think that comments like the ones on these threads well be far more effective long term.

They aren't Patrons of the Hospital
They aren't supporting research done there
They aren't visiting to highlight a particular health related day
They aren't stars of a popular kids films visiting in costume

They are minor celebrities with useless titles using sick children for photo opportunisties. That will become evident the more they do this.

Incidently meeting rich people at the plane is fairly common, I'm far more bothered by the exploitation of children.

It’s in such appallingly bad taste

If Andrew doesn’t challenge it through the courts, it has happened.

The same will apply to Harry. As he would likely mount a High Court challenge, an Act of Parliament might be advised, which could respectively include Andrew just to be sure.

I would personally advise letting H’s legal challenge play out, as I think Harry would lose, as Royal Dukedoms are not attached to land or property, and the general legal principle is that that which can be created by the stroke of a pen can also be dissolved with the stroke of a pen.

He can’t physically stop him but it’s abundantly clear that the silence is not helping!
if the government won’t put out a statement to make it abundantly clear that Harry and Meghan don’t represent the U.K. in any form and are private citizens then it’s up to Charles to do so!
just one official statement saying that Harry and Meghan are no longer working or representing the U.K. or the monarchy would put a stop to this!

Crown Office
THE KING has been pleased by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm dated 3 November 2025 to declare that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor shall no longer be entitled to hold and enjoy the style, title or attribute of “Royal Highness” and the titular dignity of “Prince”.

I agree.

Let's say Charles did remove Harry's titles. So what? People will still call him 'Prince Harry'. Nobody other than herself refers to Meghan as a 'Duchess' anyway, so it would make no difference.

Like I said above, if they want to cosplay royals and if people are willing to indulge them, I don't see what Charles can do about it. I do think it's a disgrace that the hospital is allowing them to exploit their young patients as PR props though. If I had a child at that hospital I would make a formal complaint.

Nothing about Dukedom

@jeffgoldblum I don't think it would put a stop to H&M's vainglorious , lacking in self awareness grifting under the disguise of "royalling about" - but it would at least clarify that's all it really is. I'm agreeing with you , I just don't think it would stop them. 😃

KC cannot put out statements like that. If Parliament won’t then for him to do so would be to go against his government.

Harry and Me-gain are utterly shameless. They know that in order to maintain their Montecito lifestyle, they have to exploit what's left of their Royalness for maximum effect. But to use sick children is abhorrent. They had no business being at the hospital and must've put immune-compromised children at risk not masking up having got straight off a commercial flight. All for a photo op so they can now pitch to commercial partners saying, "See! We're still doing the Royal thing! Pay us!"

I really hope the King sees this for what it is and finally puts a stop to them cashing in on their Sussex titles. William must be furious too, because it's obvious they're going to position themselves as the pseudo Royal alternative to him and Catherine when the King dies.

I have explained already up the thread!!! 🙄
only the prince and hrh title was removed by Charles!
the duke title was voluntarily put aside by Andrew and cannot be removed without parliament.

At least then @BasiliskStareif these countries facilitate this behaviour we can put the blame firmly on h and m and that country!

@MrsLeonFarrell

Incidently meeting rich people at the plane is fairly common

Agreed...and also it's a service that anyone can get at many airports for a fee...

My worry.about that aspect of the arrival is if it was a "pay for" then who is paid for it....hope it's not something that is going on expenses.....

Invictus would be my guess

What has parliament got to do with Charles releasing a fairly easy statement clarifying the actual truth and circumstances!
harry and Meghan are not working royals, they do not represent the U.K. or monarchy in any form !
this is already known by the majority.

also parliament wouldn’t be asked to put out any statement!
do you have any knowledge at all about how the monarchy, the government or parliament works?

I'm starting to think that what Harry wants, Harry gets. Let alone Meghan.

The optics are appalling for this visit, and all they're doing is undermining the BRF yet again with their "pay per view of us" antics. There is no good cause or charity in this trip, it is pure self promotion from two titled grifters.

Yes Charles could make a simple statement today that H&M’s visit is no way endorsed by the BRF.

I haven't got any foreign travel planned, but I might swing by my local hospital after work and see if they can provide a photogenic child to give me a bunch of flowers...

I watched an interview with Matt Wilkinson. He has "heard" that RF want the pair of grifters back as working royals!

Any idea how much? I shouldn't be on here at the moment, let alone googling non work related stuff 😂

I agree @jeffgoldblum

It would be a good move for KC to issue a statement. It will publicly show to Harry that the family can see what he is doing (half in half out) this was not agreed, he is not a working member of the RF and those working members of the RF are providing neither support or approval for this or any other visits undertaken by the couple.

If Harry and his wife want to continue to play dress up that’s up to them but they would look even more ridiculous than they do now.

Is this the first time out of all their faux royal tours that they have combined royalling with their pay per view ventures? I think it is, if so they are blatantly flouting the Sandringham agreement, this visit is the epitome of half in half out, I don’t buy the narrative the Palace can’t do anything, next they will be announcing a full tour of the Commonwealth Countries, visiting hospitals and military sites with a side of get your photo taken with the Duke and Duchess for £50.

Of course they do, because Hollywood isn't interested and Ari Emmanuel's company has quietly dropped them, Netflix have shoved them to one side and Spotify have kicked them out of the door. And they need to return fast, because the King passes and William excommunicates them for good.

Exactly! It’s not difficult, or controversial as some seem to think!
