The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have big plans in the works as they prepare for their long-awaited visit to Australia.
The visit was announced earlier this year by the Sussexes office, which indicated that Prince Harry and Meghan would undertake a “number of private, business and philanthropic engagements”. However, it also sparked several other debates about who is funding the trip and the question of whether or not their children should go along.
Harry and Meghan have been very particular about the safety of their two children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, but sources have revealed the parents have come up with a plan to bring their children Down Under.
However, Archie and Lilibet will not be flying with their parents next week when they come to Australia. Sources cited by Heat magazine shared that Harry and Meghan will not be bringing their child this time as it is a short trip.
Even if it’s going well, it’s “just the beginning”. The children are “wild” with animals and would love to see kangaroos and koalas. So the trip will happen, it’s “just a matter of when”.
Talks are reportedly taking place between Buckingham Palace and Montecito to find a way to end the years-long feud, but there are some key hurdles in between. Prince William, who is the future king, is not keen on bringing back the Sussexes, although King Charles is open to peace for the sake of his grandchildren.
If things don’t work out, Harry and Meghan are already working on a backup plan. Sources suggested Harry and Meghan could also look at property during their visit, possibly for a second home.
“There have even been some discussions about buying a property and making Australia a second home,” the insider said. “They’re not looking to leave America full-time, but it’s no secret that they’re feeling pretty disillusioned with Hollywood right now.”
Australia sounds appealing and Meghan would be happy to make the switch from a business perspective. She believes that it would be easier to conquer a market if you are there. Before anything happens, however, next week’s visit must go smoothly.
