On April 17 local time, the couple attended the Super Rugby clash between the NSW Waratahs and Moana Pasifika at Allianz Stadium. They were seen smiling in the stands as they enjoyed the game alongside fans. Meghan, 44, wore a camel colored coat, while Harry, 41, opted for an all-black outfit.
Harry has long had ties to rugby. He previously served as patron of the English Rugby Football Union before stepping back from royal duties in 2020. Following the transition, the patronage was returned to the monarchy and later taken up by the Princess of Wales in 2022.
During the same Australia trip, Harry also explored Australian rules football. On April 15, he visited the Western Bulldogs' headquarters in Melbourne for a Movember event focused on men's health. There, he spent time with players, spoke with local fathers and children, and even tried his hand at kicking a football.
Attendees described him as relaxed and engaged, with Bulldogs midfielder Adam Treloar noting that Harry performed well when kicking the ball and handled the game's basics better than expected for a visitor unfamiliar with the sport.
Meghan also carried out several solo engagements during the trip. In Melbourne, she visited McAuley Community Services for Women, an organization that supports women and children affected by domestic violence and homelessness. She helped prepare and serve meals in the kitchen and later joined residents at the table for conversation. She also mentioned adjusting to jet lag after arriving earlier that day.
Earlier in the trip, Meghan and Harry also appeared at a women focused retreat hosted by the Her Best Life podcast at Coogee Beach in Sydney. The event included discussions on personal growth, wellness, and community connection. Organizers said Meghan's participation came through a mutual connection and praised her openness during the session.
The Australia visit has included a mix of public appearances centered on sport, mental health, and community engagement. From stadium stands to charity kitchens, the couple's itinerary has focused on connecting with local initiatives while balancing joint and individual engagements throughout the trip.
