Prince Harry and Meghan traveled to Australia on April 14 for a trip made up of private, business and philanthropic engagements. The visit marked the pair’s first time back on the continent since their official royal tour in October 2018.

The couple’s first engagement was visiting the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, previously visited by Queen Elizabeth and Harry’s parents, King Charles and the late Princess Diana. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex then sailed around Sydney Harbor with Invictus Australia.

Harry and Meghan’s children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, did not join them in Australia.

On Sunday, April 19, Meghan posted a clip on her Instagram Stories showing her and Harry being greeted with a “Welcome Home” banner after returning home to California from their trip.

The Duchess of Sussex also shared glimpses of Australian souvenirs and treats that appeared to be for their kids, including the popular Australian sweet treat Tim Tams, candies, picture books and handwritten cards.
