The arrival of the couple in Sydney on Monday attracted a lot of attention
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived in Sydney to begin an official visit to Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand.
This is the first official royal tour of the couple since its wedding in May.
This 16-day trip coincides with the fourth Invictus Games, which begin Saturday in Sydney, and include dozens of official events.
Prince Harry and Meghan were greeted by a large media and security presence at the airport on Monday.
They were taken to Admiralty House, home of Governor General Peter Cosgrove, in Sydney Harbor, which represents the Queen in Australia.
The couple follows in the footsteps of Prince Harry's parents – Charles and Diana – whose first royal visit took place in Australia and New Zealand.
