Britain's Prince Harry visited the Australian War Memorial in Canberra on Wednesday (April 15), where he laid a wreath and attended a guided tour through the gallery.

The visit came on the second day of Harry's tour of Australia with his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, whose engagements across Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney focus on mental health, veterans' affairs and community resilience.

The couple stepped down as working members of the British royal family and moved to the U.S. in 2020, citing a desire to be financially independent and to escape what they characterized as media intrusion into their private lives.
