Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have finally touched down in Sydney as they begin their highly-anticipated tour around Australia.<\/p>\n

News.Com.Au <\/em><\/a>reports the pair landed at Sydney airport earlier this morning on a Qantas flight from London and not on a British Airways flight as it was previously believed. <\/p>\n\n

The couple landed with an entourage of 10 staff members including a hairdresser. Meghan has also reportedly invited her best friend Toronto-based stylist, Jessica Mulroney and her husband Ben, who join the Duke and Duchess in an \u201cunofficial<\/em>\u201d capacity.<\/p>\n

Harry and Meghan will visit Sydney, Melbourne, Dubbo and Fraser Island before heading off to Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

While they have a very busy itinerary, they are primarily here for the Invictus Games.<\/p>\n

Today will be fairly low-key with official duties kicking off tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The pair will meet the Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove and his wife Lady Cosgrove at Admiralty House. <\/p>\n

They will then head to Taronga Zoo to meet two baby koalas.<\/p>\n

After their zoo visit, they will catch a ferry to the Opera House to watch a rehearsal by the Bangarra Dance Company, they\u2019ll then enjoy a royal walkabout chat with \u201cmembers of the public\u201d and will later return to the Governor-General\u2019s house for a reception.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday they\u2019ll go to Dubbo to \u201csee first-hand the hardships local <\/em>farmers<\/em> are facing by visiting a local property\u201d<\/em> as well as host a public picnic in a local park. <\/p>\n

The couple will fly to Melbourne later in the week and meet with state politicians at government house, meet with youth leaders and catch a tram \u2013 fun!<\/p>\n

On Friday, Harry and Meghan return to Sydney and will appear at Bondi Beach and meet with OneWave, an initiative that engages with mental health. <\/p>\n

They\u2019ll also climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge with Scott Morrison and mount the Invictus Games flag to launch the event.<\/p>\n

This weekend they\u2019ll be on Cockatoo Island and the Domain for Invictus events. On Monday they fly to Fraser Island and learn about indigenous history.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll leave for the South Pacific leg of the tour, Meghan is reported to be missing the Fiji part of the tour with rumours suggesting it\u2019s because she\u2019s pregnant and is worried about the Zika virus, and will return to Aus for another two days on Friday, October 26.<\/p>\n
