Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have confirmed they will return to Australia in mid-April, marking their first visit to the country since their hugely publicized 2018 royal tour.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expected to take part in a mix of private business, philanthropic and media engagements in Sydney and Melbourne. Meghan is also rumored to appear on the Australian podcast Her Best Life.

The trip is already stirring debate because it will take place at roughly the same time King Charles the

Third is expected to visit the United States. Royal insider Deep Crown notes that the timing will inevitably create a competing global spotlight.

Supporters say Harry and Meghan’s more informal approach to visits helps them connect with younger audiences and humanitarian groups. Critics argue the couple continue to operate like a parallel royal court while no longer representing the monarchy.

The visit comes seven years after their 2018 South Pacific tour, when the newly married couple drew huge crowds and announced Meghan’s pregnancy with Prince Archie.
