Prince Harry and Meghan receive surprise from Archie and Lilibet after Australia | Royal | News

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned from Australia to a sweet surprise from their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Meghan uploaded a video to Instagram to show how the couple returned to find a “Welcome Home” banner adorning their doorway.

Meghan also posted a clip displaying multiple Australian souvenirs and treats, seemingly for kids, including Tim Tams (a popular chocolate biscuit in Australia), sweets, picture books, as well as a handwritten card.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex travelled to Australia for a trip mixing private, business and philanthropic engagements, with a schedule that began on Tuesday, April 14.

The scheduled trip took them to the cities of Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney, and Prince Harry and Meghan both candidly spoke about their own mental wellness during separate events.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also undertook private meetings and special projects while abroad, and Meghan headlined at Her Best Life podcast’s “girls weekend” retreat.

Harry and Meghan’s 2026 Australia trip marked their first return to the continent since their official royal tour there in October 2018.

The couple’s children, Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, did not join them in Australia, and the kids similarly didn’t tag along for their humanitarian trip to Jordan in February nor to Colombia or Nigeria last year.

Also on hand to greet them when they returned from Australia was Harry and Meghan’s excited Labrador, Pula, who wagged her tail enthusiastically as she led the way inside.

Meghan also took to her Instagram grid to share a compilation of unseen moments from her and her husband’s trip Down Under.

The caption read: “Australia, you have our hearts…”
