The couple’s trip to Australia comes at no surprise, as it was previously revealed that Markle will be joining her husband at this year’s Invictus Games in Sydney.

This will be the couple’s first official tour since their royal wedding last month. The two made their first public appearance as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex at the Queen’s birthday celebration, the Trooping the Colour.
