The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, are officially heading to Australia so we can all have a real good geez at them to attend the 2018 Invictus Games in Sydney.
Kensington Palace made the announcement this morning, confirming the pair will also visit Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand on their South Pacific trip.

It’ll be the first time the pair travel to Australia as a married couple, and it’s not even purely for honeymoon reasons: Prince Harry founded the Invictus Games back in 2014 as a dedicated sporting competition for servicemen and women wounded and injured while serving, and has been very hands-on since.
One of the pair’s first public outings as a couple occurred at last year’s Invictus Games in Toronto, a city which also served as the home base for Markle’s former TV show Suits.
The Invictus Games, which will feature 500 athletes from 18 nations, begin in October.
