King Charles’ youngest son, Harry, and his wife Meghan Markle, who are currently in Australia, have embarked on a trip to highlight the achievements of the beloved royal Princess Diana, who became the People’s Princess for her unparalleled feat.
The two even began their trip to Australia with a special tribute to the late princess by visiting the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, where Diana and then-Prince Charles visited together in 1985.
To highlight his mother’s decades of service to the suffering community, Harry mingled with staff and took part in an activity in the hospital’s therapeutic garden spaces.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who embarked on a new journey as they bid farewell to royal office in 2020, have consistently honored their mother by advancing her humanitarian work, supporting youth and keeping her memory alive through personal gestures and public tributes.
Harry’s work often reflects his commitment to empathy, landmine clearance and HIV/AIDS awareness.
In 2019, William’s younger brother followed in his mother’s footsteps by visiting an active demining camp in Angola and directly continued his work with The HALO Trust to highlight the need to remove landmines.
Meghan’s husband is also a dedicated supporter of the Diana Award, a charity that recognizes young people for their humanitarian work and social action, often attending its annual events and connecting with recipients.
In 2006, she even co-founded the charity Sentebale, which supports young people affected by HIV/AIDS in Botswana and Lesotho, directly channeling her mother’s compassionate approach to vulnerable communities.
Harry and William put aside their dispute to commission a statue of their mother, which was unveiled in Kensington Palace’s Sunken Garden on what would have been her 60th birthday (July 1, 2021).
He often incorporates forget-me-nots (Diana’s favorite flowers) into special moments, including making a wedding bouquet for his wife and planting them in a preschool garden in Los Angeles.
The two landed in Australia on Tuesday, April 14 for a four-day visit with engagements spanning sports, mental health and veterans affairs.
It was their first visit to Australia since 2018. They announced their first pregnancy hours after arriving in Sydney.
His latest visit has captured public attention in Australia, where Britain’s King Charles is head of state, although a sizeable minority supports establishing a republic.
