Harry and Meghan in Australia

Hello!


The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan are currently on tour. They started in Sydney, where the Invictus Games are being held, then travelled to Dubbo, Melbourne and Queensland. They flew to Fiji and are now in Tonga.


In this post, I am going to share some of my favourite photos from their time here in Australia.

Harry and Meghan arrived in Sydney on 15th October. I thought that there would be a crowd of people gathered to try to catch a glimpse of the royals but it was pretty low-key. I loved Harry's casual attire.

A few hours after arriving, Kensington Palace announced that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expecting a baby! A lot of people had been suspecting that she is pregnant and they were right. During their time in Sydney they stayed at Admiralty House. On the first day, they met the Governor General Peter Cosgrove and were presented this toy Kangaroo. They have been given so many gifts like this!

What a wonderful opportunity for all the young children who get to greet and present flowers to them.

Australian war widow Daphne Dunne who is 98-years-old met Harry for the third time! He went over and gave her a big hug. Their interaction looked so sweet and it was extra special when he introduced Meghan to her. Harry and Daphne seem to have a connection.

I absolutely love this photo of Harry and Meghan chatting to members of a mental health advocacy group at Bondi Beach. I wonder if they ever wish they could relax on the beach or go anywhere without the media and people taking photos and crowding around wanting to meet them.

It was so cute when five-year-old Luke Vincent hugged both Harry and Meghan and touched his beard. This image was seen by people all over the world!

Hugging is against royal protocol but Harry has done it so many times on the tour. This woman broke down in tears when he hugged her. She is very lucky. I feel that Prince Harry is a lot like his mother Diana.

So these are some of my favourite. I have seen a few videos of Meghan meeting people and I've noticed that every time someone gives her something or compliments her she asks for their name and introduces herself. I love that about her.

I hope everyone is having a great week.

Thank you,

Vishi xoxo

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
