Prince Harry<\/a> and Meghan Markle<\/a>‘s recent visit to Australia is now being viewed behind palace doors as an unofficial “trial run” for how the Sussexes<\/a> could eventually stage a more permanent and carefully managed return to Britain without formally rejoining royal life, RadarOnline.com<\/em><\/a> can reveal.<\/p>\n The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, aged 41 and 44 respectively, spent four days in Australia undertaking a mix of private business engagements, speaking appearances, and philanthropic events.<\/p>\n Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited Australia for a four-day series of engagements.Mega<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n The trip marked the couple’s first visit to Australia since their 2018 royal tour, undertaken shortly after their marriage when they were still senior working royals.<\/p>\n Insiders now claim the fallout from the visit \u2013 dubbed a “faux royal tour<\/a>” \u2013 is being closely watched by both Hollywood advisers and royal insiders as a test of how the pair could operate internationally while maintaining the image and structure of a quasi-royal public role outside Buckingham Palace’s control.<\/p>\n One source told us: “Behind the scenes, the Australia visit is now being viewed as far more than just another overseas work trip for Harry and Meghan.<\/p>\n “There’s a sense that it serves as a very deliberate test case for the kind of role they hope to carve out for themselves internationally moving forward \u2013 something that still carries the polish, glamour and public impact of a royal tour, but entirely on their own terms and outside the control of Buckingham Palace.”<\/p>\n Harry hoped his children could eventually visit King Charles III in Britain.Mega<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n The insider added: “In many ways, it’s almost like a soft launch for a new model of how they want to operate globally.<\/p>\n “They want to prove they can still command huge crowds, media attention and international interest without being working royals.”<\/p>\n The Sussexes visited Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra during their Oz trip.<\/p>\n It came amid continuing speculation over Harry’s long-term hopes for reconciliation<\/a> with King Charles<\/a>, 77, and the wider Royal Family after years of public fallout following his and Meghan’s departure from royal duties in 2020.<\/a><\/p>\n According to reports, Harry remains hopeful his children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, four, could eventually spend time with the King in Britain.<\/p>\nAustralia Trip As Royal Test Run<\/h2>\n
