Kensington Palace says Prince Harry and his wife Meghan will be touring Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand later this year.

According to ABC news, the Royal couple, now known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will be making the tour around the time of the Invictus Games in Sydney, which is set for October.

Prince Harry spent time serving with the British military in Afghanistan and was the first British Royal to be sent into combat in more than a quarter of a century.

He created the Paralympic-style games as a way to inspire wounded soldiers toward recovery.

About 550 competitors from 17 countries competed in 12 sports during the event in Canada last year.

The couple joined the pageantry on Saturday of the annual Trooping the Colour ceremony in London for the first time since their wedding three weeks ago.

The event celebrates Queen Elizabeth’s official birthday.
