This will be the first overseas tour for the newlyweds set to coincide with the fourth Invictus Games which are slated to be held in Sydney in late October.

The Games are part of Harry and Meghan’s romantic history, as the couple were famously pictured during their first public appearance together at the Invictus Trials in Toronto in 2017.

Prince Harry is also an acting patron of the event.

Harry and Meghan have been invited to Australia and New Zealand by the countries’ respective governments, while the royals will visit Fiji and Tonga at the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the official statement from Kensington Palace stated.

The tour will be a particularly important milestone for the Duchess of Sussex as she settles into her role as one half of one of the world’s most talked-about couples.

While the Palace assured that specific details of the trip would be announced shortly, duties for the happy pair could include daily engagements with dignitaries and government officials, tree planting and attendance at opening ceremonies.

The couple are rumored to have been invited to such events as The Everest at Sydney’s Royal Randwick – the world’s richest turf race – the Hunter Valley and a polo tournament in Melbourne.

The trip comes just over four years after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited Australia and New Zealand, when Prince William and Kate Middleton spent 18 days across the region covering a grand total of 23,701 miles. 

Charles and the late Diana spent 41 days overseas on their 1983 tour.
