“How exciting!” another said.
The royal couple — whose unofficial tour of Australia has included multiple events across the Eastern States — have been making the most of their time down under with paid gigs, with Meghan featuring at the Her Best Life retreat in Sydney later in the week.
Prince Harry will also be featuring at the InterEdge Summit in Melbourne, and will be speaking in a conversation about “psychosocial safety and leadership”.
It’s not just paid gigs, however: the pair made their first appearance in Australia at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne on Tuesday, and later visited a support service for women and children experiencing domestic violence and homelessness, as well as the Australian National Veterans Arts Museum.
Harry even trained with the Western Bulldogs AFL team on Wednesday, before jetting off to Canberra to visit the Australian War Memorial.
The pair will then reunite to participate in the Scar Tree walk — described as a “cultural journey” which intertwines traditional and contemporary Aboriginal cultures.
They will then return to Sydney for Meghan’s speaking events, before attending a rugby match, and flying out of Sydney by the week’s end.
