The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will visit Australia next month for a number of engagements.
Their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will not be going with them, it is understood.
A spokesman for the couple said: “Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will visit Australia in mid-April to take part in a number of private, business and philanthropic engagements.
“Further details will be shared in due course.”
The Sussexes carried out an official royal tour to Australia in 2018, five months after their royal wedding, and Meghan’s pregnancy with Prince Archie was announced shortly after their arrival.
