Royal Tour - Harry and Meghan go to Bondi Beach

USUALLY when someone puts a lei around your neck, you are two Mai Tais in on holiday and you just giggle your way through it.

But it happened to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle this morning and they were stone cold sober.

They’re actually handling it quite well.

The Duchess and Duke of Sussex are embarking on day four of their Australian tour, after traipsing around Melbourne yesterday picking up rubbish and handballing footballs.

Their first official duty today is something called “Fluoro Friday” — an initiative from One Wave, the surfing community’s mental health and wellbeing awareness group.

Meghan clearly didn’t get the fluoro memo and stepped out onto the sand in a striped dress in neutral tones by Australian designer Martin Grant — the same chap who made the beige trench coat that she has worn most days of the tour so far.

The pair ditched their shoes to sit with a group who shared their experiences with mental health issue. There was also some surfing and yoga going on.

The shoes Meghan (briefly) wore today were the Castañer “carina” canvas wedge espadrilles ($135).

The Duchess had a costume change from her beach outfit and opted for the eyewateringly expensive Roksanda ‘Athena’ dress ($2,080).

Meghan went full high school chic with her hair, sporting the half up-do and strands at the front.
