A ROYAL PROGRESS
SIX months on from their fairytale wedding at Windsor Castle and Prince Harry and Meghan have already whizzed around four countries on their first royal tour.
Across Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand, they have stroked koalas, welly-wanged, partied with locals and shaken a thousand hands.
We’ve also been utterly hooked to the royal tour daily updates.
From the Invictus Games in Sydney and a dedication ceremony for forests in Queensland, to yacht rides, beach gatherings and meeting kiwi chicks, this was a jampacked 16-day schedule.
There were occasional tense moments. There was that mad dash from a market in Fiji, with Meghan scrambled into a car after just seven minutes. It was claimed she wasn’t safe, but the locals weren’t impressed.
In more fun moments elsewhere, a child took a liking to Harry’s beard, wellies were flung and baby gifts were handed out left, right and centre.
We also had more than two weeks to marvel at Meghan’s catwalk of outfits and scrutinise any emerging baby bump.
Well now it’s all over, but while the Duke and Duchess of Sussex unpack their suitcases and put their feet up, we get to relive it all again through this special documentary.
ITV’s Royal Editor Chris Ship followed the couple across the South Pacific and brings us an in-depth look at the newlyweds’ tour.
Kicking off with the Invictus Games, the programme also promises a look at issues highlighted by the trip and which lie close to the couple’s hearts.
Didn’t they do well...
