After the kickoff of the Invictus Games in Sydney this weekend, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry traveled to Fraser Island, Australia on Monday morning local time.
Meghan, who recently announced her pregnancy, wore a white and burgundy dotted dress with a tie at the waist of & Other Stories and Sarah Flint's brown saddle flat sandals. She removed her hair in a ponytail.
The royal couple got off the plane holding hands, while Meghan got in one car and Harry in another. Prince Harry then boarded a houseboat to drive him to his first engagements of the day, while Meghan jumped on a boat from Hervey Bay's Eco Marine Tours to take her into a other area of the island. Meghan will probably join Harry for a meeting and greet the locals at the end of the day.
