Despite no longer being working members of the Royal Family, Harry and Meghan have made a classic gesture commonly reproduced by the family as they left Australia after their four-day visit.
The pair were seen waving in the direction of fans as they left their accommodation in Coogee to head for Sydney Airport as their whirlwind visit came to a close on Saturday.
The pair spent four days in Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney while making a variety of appearances ranging from high-profile keynote speaking gigs to meet-and-greets at the Melbourne Children’s Hospital.
In Sydney, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex met survivors of the Bondi terror attack, and spoke to the lifeguards who responded to the incident.
Following their time in Bondi, the pair went to the Sydney Opera House where a significant crowd of admirers and media were on hand hoping to catch a glimpse of them.
They then hopped on a sailboat and took a scenic tour around Sydney Harbour, before spending Friday night watching the Waratahs defeat Moana Pasifika at Allianz Stadium.
The visit didn’t take place entirely without controversy, which was generated when The Daily Telegraph reported that NSW Police would be providing the pair with protection during their visit to Sydney, with taxpayers footing those costs.
The last time Harry and Meghan came to Australia was 2018, during the Invictus games – an event which holds personal significance for Harry, who served two deployments in Afghanistan between 2007 and 2013 as an Apache Helicopter pilot.
The pair left for Sydney Airport on Saturday morning where they are understood to be headed home to Montecito in California to reunite with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
