Prince Harry spoke to charity members about men’s mental health at an Australian Football club in Melbourne on Wednesday (April 15) as part of a four-day trip to Australia alongside his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

The charity movement known as Movember, is a global charity initiative held every November, encourages participants to grow moustaches to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues, including prostate cancer and suicide prevention.

The couple, who stepped down as working members of the British royal family and relocated to the United States in 2020, cited a desire for financial independence and to escape media intrusion into their private lives.

Their last visit to Australia was in 2018, where they announced Meghan's first pregnancy shortly after arriving in Sydney as working royals.
