The trip will remind many of the royal tour the couple took in 2018 when they were working royals and newly-weds. However, as they are no longer working royals, this trip will not be for royal engagements but instead for leisure, charitable and business purposes.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While Harry and Meghan have not said much personally about the trip, a former royal butler who worked with Prince Harry<\/a> has said the couple are trying to be \u201ccelebrity royals\u201d in their post-royal life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Grant Harrold, who worked as King Charles and Queen Camilla\u2019s butler between 2004 and 2011 before they were King and Queen, told JoeFortune<\/a>: \u201cI imagine this tour would be similar to ones they\u2019ve done since quitting the Royal Family, a kind of celebrity royal tour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThis means it looks very similar to a royal tour in all aspects – the same kind of engagements, the same meetings and photo ops – but it\u2019s not arranged through the governments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI think they are trying to be \u2018celebrity royals\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThey want the celebrity lifestyle and the freedom that brings, but I think Harry misses his old lifestyle of regular engagements, shaking hands and meeting people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is the last time they are believed to have visited Australia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
