The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are spending their final day in Melbourne exploring some of the city’s most significant cultural sites as part of their four-day whirlwind Australian trip.
Coming off the back of their guided tour of the significant Aboriginal sites in Melbourne early on Thursday morning, the formerly royal couple were hand-in-hand as they arrived at Swinburne University of Technology to attend an mental health engagement program.
Meghan swapped out her casual garb she donned in the morning for a moss green shift mini dress and black stockings and heels, paired with gold jewellery and loose waves as they walked through the Hawthorn campus.At the university, Harry engaged in a discussion group with young activists, where they discussed mental health.
The couple are due to attend a mental health engagement program organised by batyr – a mental health organisation dedicated to preventive education and early intervention for young people.
Meghan and Harry’s guided tour of Aboriginal sites in Melbourne
The duke and duchess began their final day in Melbourne with a Scar Tree Walk through the city – a guided tour through the significant Aboriginal sites, starting in Federation Square and walking along the Yarra (Birrarung), where they end at the scar trees at Yarra Park.
The duke and duchess were guided across part of the city with members of the Koorie Heritage Trust early on Thursday morning, exploring the significant Aboriginal sites and contemporary installations.
Meghan was all smiles in the morning, waving to the crowd of fans who watched their journey through the scenic path.
She was dressed casually for the occasion, donning a tan trench coat, jeans and sneakers to fight off the chilly Melbourne mornings.
The duchess also wore a white tshirt with the words ‘mama’ printed on the front, from the Alliance of Moms, which was co-founded by the duchess’ best friend Kelly McKee-Zajfen. The tshirt costs $56.58, with proceeds raised going to young families in Los Angeles who need to access parenting education, mental health support and other resources.
Following the mental health program at Swinburne University, Prince Harry will present a keynote speech at the InterEdge Summit in Melbourne.
The pair will then jet off to Sydney, where they’ll spend the final day of their Australian tour, sailing around the Sydney Harbour with members of Invictus Australia.
They’ll later attend a rugby match between the NSW Waratahs and Moana Pasifika at Allianz Stadium.
The Duke of Sussex is the founder and patron of the Invictus Games – a multi-sport event for wounded, injured and sick veterans founded in 2014.
Meghan is also the headline attraction at a luxury women’s wellness event in Sydney on the weekend.
Tickets for the exclusive wellness event start at $2699, co-hosted by Gemma O’Neill, host of the podcast Her Best Life and manager of Jackie ‘O’ Henderson.
