More details about Harry and Meghan's first Royal Tour have been announced
Since becoming an official member of the Royal Family after marrying Prince Harry in May, Meghan Markle has already attended several Royal engagements. But come next month it's all going up a gear.
In June, Kensington Palace announced the itinerary for the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex's first Royal Tour together, and now even more details about the trip (which is basically everyone's dream gap year) have been released.

Meghan and Harry will be making an official visit to Australia, Fiji, the Kingdom of Tonga, and New Zealand across two weeks in October. They'll be travelling around Australia for the first week, before heading to Fiji for three days, Tonga for two days, back to Australia and then rounding the trip off in New Zealand's north island for a final four days.
Here's their itinerary:
Tuesday 16th October: Sydney, Australia
Wednesday 17th October: Dubbo, Australia

Friday 19th October: Sydney, Australia
Saturday 20th October: Sydney, Australia

The October trip coincides with The Invictus Games which will take place in Sydney between 20-27 October 2018, meaning the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be there for the opening ceremony.
Last year, The Invictus Games was held in Toronto in September, and it marked the first time Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were officially photographed together. The pair were seen holding hands and looking generally loved up as they attended the wheelchair tennis together.
Later, Prince Harry was photographed with both Meghan and her mother, Doria Ragland, at the closing ceremony of the Games.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Royal Tour to Australia isn't the only one in recent years; Kate and William visited Australia and New Zealand when Prince George was just a baby back in April 2014.
Well, it's not the worst way Meghan and Harry could be spending October. Oh, to be a Royal...
