Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly planning a visit to Australia, marking a potential return to the country nearly seven years after their last official royal tour in 2018. The couple, who stepped back from their roles as senior royals in 2020 and now reside in California, hinted at their intentions during a recent correspondence with celebrity astrologer Angela Pearl.
In a letter sent on stationery featuring their joint royal monogram, Harry and Meghan expressed gratitude to Pearl for her insights during a meeting in New York in October. Though part of the letter was redacted when shared on social media, they included a note of concern for Pearl’s family in Ukraine and mentioned their desire to visit Australia again. The letter concluded with “best wishes,” accompanied by the signatures of both Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44.
Reflections on Previous Tour
The couple’s last major engagement in Australia took place during a 16-day tour of Australia and New Zealand in October 2018. This trip was significant for several reasons, including the announcement that Meghan was expecting their first child, Prince Archie, who is now six years old. The couple later welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet, in 2021.
During their 2018 tour, Harry and Meghan received a warm welcome from the Australian public. Their visit included various engagements aimed at promoting mental health awareness, environmental conservation, and Indigenous rights. The couple’s relationship with Australia has remained strong, with many Australians expressing continued support for them since their departure from royal duties.
As details of their prospective visit emerge, it remains to be seen how their return will be received in Australia, given their transition to a more private life in the United States. Public interest in their activities continues to be high, especially as they navigate their roles outside the royal family.
The couple’s plans for Australia come at a time when they are also focusing on various charitable initiatives and their media projects. Their previous engagements have laid a foundation for potential future collaborations with Australian organizations, particularly in areas of mental health and community support.
With the anticipation surrounding their visit, Harry and Meghan’s return to Australia could provide an opportunity for the couple to reconnect with the public and promote causes that are important to them. As they prepare for this potential journey, many will be watching closely to see how their engagement evolves.
