The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have begun a four-day tour of Australia, marking their first visit to the country in seven years.
The arrival of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle follows a period of significant change in their public roles. Their previous tour of the Australian continent occurred while they were still serving as senior members of the Royal Family.
In Sydney, the couple's presence has elicited a range of reactions from local residents.
Confusion in Sydney
Some members of the public expressed uncertainty regarding the purpose of the visit. "I don't know why they're coming," one resident told the BBC.
This sentiment reflects a lack of clarity surrounding the couple's current activities. Unlike their previous engagements, which were conducted as working royals, this tour follows their departure from senior royal duties.
The four-day itinerary includes various stops across the country. The visit serves as a return to the region after a seven-year absence from the Australian public stage.
