King Charles’ youngest son Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, who are currently in Australia, have embarked on a journey to highlight the achievements of beloved royal Princess Diana, who became the People’s Princess for her unparalleled service.
The two even kicked off their Australian trip 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 participated in an activity in the hospital’s therapeutic garden space.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who began a new journey by saying goodbye to the royal job in 2020, have consistently honored their mother by promoting her humanitarian work, supporting youth and keeping her memory alive through personal gestures and public tributes.
Harry’s work often reflects her commitment to empathy, landmine clearance and HIV/AIDS awareness.
In 2019, William’s younger brother retraced his mother’s footsteps by visiting an active demining field in Angola, directly continuing his work with The HALO Trust to highlight the need to clear landmines.
Meghan’a hubby is also a dedicated supporter of The Diana Award, a charity that recognizes young people for their humanitarian and social work, often attending their annual events and connecting with recipients.
In 2006, he even co-founded the Sentebale charity, which supports young people affected by HIV/AIDS in Botswana and Lesotho, directly channeling his mother’s compassionate approach to vulnerable communities.
Harry and William put their feud aside to commission a statue of their mother, which was unveiled in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace 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 his wedding bouquet for his wife and by planting them in a preschool garden in LA.
The two landed in Australia on Tuesday, April 14, for a four-day visit with engagements covering 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.
Their recent visit has drawn public attention in Australia, where Britain’s King Charles is head of state, although a significant minority supports becoming a republic.
