On Tuesday evening, Prince Harry touched down in Sydney fresh from his recent stint in Singapore as he prepares to embark on a whirlwind 48-hours of the harbour city.
The 32-year-old was flanked by a large security team as he made his way through Sydney Kingsford Smith airport and into an awaiting car.
While there’s been mounted speculation girlfriend Meghan Markle may have accompanied him on the tour, Harry was flying solo.
However, the prince made sure to give a subtle nod to his other half by donning the matching beaded bracelet they both own.
The fifth-in-line to the British throne reportedly purchased the sweet token for Meghan during a trip to Africa.
Always together: Harry was spotted wearing the beaded bracelet that Meghan also owns.
Flying in from Singapore, Harry is in town to launch the 2018 Invictus Games.
Meghan is currently promoting season seven of her hit TV show, Suits, and considering Harry’s journey is in a work capacity, there’s no reason to bring her such a long way for such a short time.
While we’ll all rest easy knowing we’re breathing the same air as the world’s most beloved royal, the humanitarian has his work cut out for him and will hit the ground running first thing Wednesday morning.
His first outing will be at Admiralty House in Kirribilli on Wednesday morning, where he will officially launch the fourth Invictus Games.
During his blink-and-you’ll-miss-it tour, Harry will meet with members of the Australian Invictus team and begin the 500-day countdown to the sporting event.
Then on Wednesday afternoon, Prince William’s little brother will head down to Circular Quay to watch a variety of sports demonstrations such as wheelchair basketball, volleyball and wheelchair rugby.
He’ll cap off his day on Sydney Harbour watching a boat race.
On Thursday, the former military man will check out the various locations of the 2018 Games and be briefed on the progress of the event.
The Prince left the airport with a large security team.
Meghan Markle’s other half has a jam-packed two days ahead of him.
Harry looked smart in a white shirt and trousers.
Harry’s love of Australia has been well-documented.
In 2003, he spent a gap year Down Under working as a jackaroo on a remote cattle station in Queensland.
“I have had a great time working out here, meeting people and learning a bit about how to be a jackaroo. And of course the rugby was absolutely fantastic. It’s a great country,” he said at the time.
Since then, he’s visited countless times and was most recently here in 2015 for a month-long secondment with the Australian Defence Force.
It’s good to have you back Harry!
