Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will tour Australia in 2018

They announced their engagement on Tuesday via a statement from Buckingham Palace.

And according to News Corp, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to make one of their first international trips as a married couple to Australia.

The publication reported on Wednesday that the pair could be headed Down Under as early as next year to attend the Invictus Games.

The sporting event, which was created by Prince Harry, was already in the red-haired royal’s schedule. 

Now that Harry is engaged to the US actress, it is highly likely Meghan will accompany him to the Games, which will be held in Sydney from October 20 to 27 next year. 

‘It would be wonderful to have Prince Harry and Meghan in Sydney next year for the Invictus Games,’ Australian Veterans’ Affairs Minister Dan Tehan told News Corp of the couple’s possible attendance.

It’s not the first time the Suits star has joined her fiancé to watch the multi-sport event.

In September, the couple were pictured at the Invictus Games held in Toronto, Canada. 

During the outing, Harry and Meghan looked loved-up and were even snapped holding hands, which is rare public display of affection for royals.

As wedding preparations get underway, May next year has been slated as the month Harry and Meghan will walk down the aisle.

The month was chosen to avoid clashing with the birth of Prince William and Kate’s third child, which is due in April. 

The nuptials will take place at St George’s Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle, it was revealed today.
