Ammon News - Britain's Prince Harry and wife Meghan landed in Australia on Tuesday for a four-day visit with engagements covering sport, mental health and veterans' affairs.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex began their trip at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, where they took part in an activity in the hospital's therapeutic garden spaces.

"It was a genuinely meaningful visit for our staff and for the young people receiving care," said Dr. Peter Steer, the hospital's CEO.

Harry spoke to children and posed ‌for ⁠photographs with patients ⁠in the foyer of the hospital, calling one of the handmade signs welcoming the couple "beautiful".

Meghan later helped serve food at a women's domestic violence shelter in the city.

The Sussexes stepped down as working members of the British royal family and moved to the US in 2020, citing a desire to be financially independent and ⁠to escape what they characterized as media intrusion into ‌their private lives.

They last visited Australia in ‌2018 while still working royals, announcing Meghan's first pregnancy hours after arriving in Sydney.
