On the final day of their trip, Harry and Meghan walked alongside lifeguards and spectators towards the coast of Bondi Beach, the site of a terror attack last year, which claimed the lives of 15 people and injured many others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the video, the Duke of Sussex could be seen slapping the bottom of one of the male lifeguards – a move that didn’t go down well with royal fans. The clip, shared on social media, attracted widespread attention, with many clearly disappointed by Harry’s “inappropriate” gesture to a stranger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Taking to X, one fan commented: “Not appropriate at all! Could you imagine Prince William<\/a> slapping a stranger’s bottom on a work engagement?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“And no, the guy didn’t look happy. I mean, this was the place where people were slaughtered in a terror attack, Meghan’s posing for pics, and he’s slapping butts?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another commented: “Oh my goodness, I did not see that. What in the world is wrong with this guy?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A third added: “A grown man slapping a rescuer\u2019s behind (on camera no less) makes zero sense. What the heck is going on here!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Later that day, Meghan appeared at the first day of the Her Best Life podcast retreat – where Harry was spotted in the audience supporting his wife.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The couple then returned home to the US to be reunited with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
