Prince Harry and Meghan's Australian tour, their first time on our shores in eight years, is coming to a close.

Naturally, the Duchess of Sussex's fashion choices have attracted plenty of attention along the way, and she's been using her time Down Under to champion a range of homegrown labels.

She's also going home with a classic Aussie wardrobe staple in her luggage, thanks to a gift from an Invictus Australia veteran.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - APRIL 17: Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex arrive to meet volunteer first responders from Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club, during a visit to Bondi Beach, on day four of the royal trip to Australia on April 17, 2026 in Sydney, Australia. Volunteers from the organisation, founded in 1907, played an integral role in protecting beachgoers and saving lives during the terrorist attack at Bondi Beach on December 14.

For the Sussexes' visits to Bondi Beach and Sydney Harbour, the duchess knotted a blue and white striped shirt by Matteau over a pair of cream jeans by Rolla's – yes, both Aussie brands.

During an impromptu meet-and-greet at the Opera House, Meghan was gifted a pair of personalised thongs by Joel Vanderzwan, bearing the inscription G'DAY MEGS.

"G'Day Megs! I love it!" she laughed as she turned to show the thongs to photographers.

Day 3

Meghan opted for a more casual look for her first appearance on day three of the tour, having been out of the public eye (filming a spot on MasterChef Australia, no less) on Wednesday.

The duchess joined Harry on Melbourne's Scar Tree Walk, a tour through Aboriginal art installations that runs along the Yarra River.

Day 2

The duchess had no public appearances scheduled for day two, so imagine everyone's surprise when it was revealed she'd been quietly filming a TV spot behind the scenes.

Meghan will appear as a guest judge on an upcoming episode of MasterChef Australia.

It shouldn't come as a huge surprise; her Netflix series With Love, Meghan was largely food and cooking-focused and she's often spoken about her love of cooking.

The duchess wore some Aussie brands for her day on set, teaming a Matteau blouse with a Camilla and Marc skirt, both in black.

"Joining a star-studded lineup of Guest Judges and culinary icons, Meghan helps guide some of the most impressive home cooks the competition has ever seen," the MasterChef Australia Instagram account said.

Day 1

A few things have changed since the Sussexes' last trip Down Under (hello, royal exit), but their first 2026 outing revealed one common thread between the visits.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex meet staff, including Kog Ravindran, chief of staff to the CEO & executive director of communications at the Royal Children's Hospital, during a visit on April 14, 2026 in Melbourne, Australia.

The duchess wore a sleeveless belted dress by Sydney-based label Karen Gee, featuring two rows of gold buttons running down the front.

The Priscilla dress, retailing for $1250, is "an exercise in refined strength" and defined by "sculpted lines [and] a softly structured skirt," the designer's website says.

Meghan's first outfit during the 2018 tour – worn hours after the couple announced their pregnancy – was a white Karen Gee design called The Blessed Dress.

She wore the outfit as she and Harry visited Admiralty House and Taronga Zoo before heading to the Sydney Opera House for their first walkabout of the tour.

Gee said it was "deeply personal" to have the duchess choose to wear her label for the second time as she returns to Australia.

"As a founder, it's incredibly humbling to know that a woman can return to your designs years later and still feel like they are the right choice," the designer wrote on Instagram.

"It's a quiet reminder of why I started. To create pieces women can rely on time and time again.

Meghan personally chose pieces from the label's luxury collection.

For her Melbourne outing, the former Suits star teamed the dress with a pair of Dior heels, wearing her hair slicked back into a ponytail.

Time will tell if the 'Meghan effect' strikes again for Karen Gee.

In 2018, after the royal's outing in the Blessed dress, the label's website briefly crashed amid global interest. In the months following the royal tour, the label says demand for the design soared by 300 per cent.
