Royal Tour: The Journey of Harry and Meghan in Australia to the Present

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have received a royal welcome from fans, young and old, as they continue their first overseas tour in Australia.

The 16-day trip of the royal couple includes Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga.

They arrived in Sydney as news of Meghan's pregnancy hit the headlines around the world.

Needless to say, everyone was looking for a first glimpse of the baby's royal bump.

Australian Governor General Sir Peter Cosgrove and his wife Lynne presented Harry and Meghan with a kangaroo and a small pair of Ugg boots for their baby, due out in the spring.

The couple went barefoot on Bondi Beach, meeting the OneWave community surf group, which promotes discussion of mental health issues.

The Duke and Duchess also went on the water to Sydney, where Harry took up the challenge of crossing the Sydney Harbor Bridge.

In the company of three Invictus Games athletes and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, the Duke's team took 13 minutes to complete the bridge ascent.

The couple also attended the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games. However, having passed the threshold of almost two hours, it was decided that Meghan would take a little time on her schedule and rest the next morning.

Throughout the tour, the prince's beard seemed to attract the attention of fans of all ages, from 98-year-old Daphne Dunne, to the Sydney Opera House …

… to Luke, five, at Dubbo airport.

However, at Sydney's Taronga Zoo, Ruby the koala seemed a little less impressed.
