Unseen video shows Meghan giving marriage advice to a fan during Australia tour
Alongside attending charity events and making money, the Duchess of Sussex took the time to give some marriage advice to a bride-to-be during the recent Australian tour.
Meghan, 44, made an appearance in a candid video to a fan shared on Instagram while visiting the lifeguards at Bondi Beach last week.
The Duchess, who is celebrating her eighth wedding anniversary with Prince Harry on May 19, said in the clip that marriage was more important than the wedding itself.

"Ellie, I'm here with your dad," Meghan said in the clip, which was filmed on April 17 when she and Harry were in Sydney.
"I just wanted to say congratulations on your wedding. Enjoy the wedding, but it's more about the marriage."
"Have a wonderful, beautiful marriage and a lifetime of love," Meghan added. "Sending you love all over the world. Your dad is awesome."
Meghan and Harry have since wrapped up their Australian tour, after a whirlwind four days in Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney.

While this video is very much real, the couple were at the centre of a bizarre AI storm during their visit with dozens of Australian brands pretending the royals had "visited" them as a way to gain publicity.
Luke, owner of Nina's Cucina in Melbourne, shared an AI image of the royals eating at the café as a joke after seeing other hospitality venues do it.

The Instagram photo racked up more than 800,000 views.
Most people knew it was AI right away but a few were fooled, at least upon first glance.
"We had phone calls from Canada, from family over there, angry that we hadn't told them that the royals were visiting our shop," Luke told nine.com.au.
While one angry commenter accused the business of trying to trick people into thinking royalty had dined their, Luke said that couldn't be further from the truth.
"We just wanted to bring some love and light to what is a very dark world at the moment," he explained.
"There's no malice or intent to have people actually believe that we had them here."
