Reports suggest that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may consider appearing together in the UK again if their Australia tour proves successful. Insiders indicate that this visit is essentially being treated as a “trial run” to gauge public response and assess whether similar joint appearances could work on British soil.
This marks their first trip to Australia since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, a move widely known as “Megxit.” The visit has naturally drawn comparisons to their high-profile 2018 royal tour, which took place shortly after their wedding and during a peak period of global popularity.
Sources reveal that observers will be paying close attention to how both royal supporters and critics, including republican groups, react to the couple during this trip. The overall reception could influence decisions about future engagements together.
The success of the tour is expected to be measured against the overwhelming enthusiasm they received during their 2018 visit, which set a high benchmark for public interest and media coverage. One insider noted that this trip could potentially serve as a “blueprint” for similar tours in the future if it goes well.
At the same time, Meghan and Harry—who are devoted parents to Archie and Lilibet—have reportedly been cautioned about using their royal titles during the visit. Royal commentators suggest that doing so might create tension with the royal family.
Royal expert Robert Jobson has pointed out that while Buckingham Palace may not be entirely comfortable with the couple’s visit, there is little they can do to prevent it. He also suggested that the purpose of the trip might leave some people puzzled, and it could be a sensitive issue for the palace.
Overall, this Australia visit is shaping up to be a significant moment for Meghan and Prince Harry, potentially influencing how they approach future public appearances—and whether a joint return to the UK could be on the horizon.
