PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle have been spotted strolling hand-in-hand during their low-key first day in Australia before their tour kicks off.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Australia tour: where to see them and the baby bump!

PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle have been spotted strolling through the grounds of Admiralty House on their first day in Australia before the royal couple’s highly anticipated tour officially kicks off.

A long-lensed camera captured the Duke and Duchess of Sussex walking hand-in-hand along the grass at the Governor-General’s sprawling harbourside mansion.

The couple will reportedly consider the residence in Sydney’s Kirribilli their home base throughout their Australian tour.

The royals, and their entourage — flew into Sydney Airport early this morning and were escorted by an impressive security contingent across the city to Admiralty House.

It had previously been speculated that the royals would be staying in a multimillion-dollar eight-bedroom mansion in Sydney’s Point Piper, but it’s since been reported they’ll instead base themselves at Admiralty House.

The Governor-General’s estate, built in 1842, has hosted plenty of VIP guests of the Government — including the Queen — and will no doubt deliver a luxurious stay for Prince Harry and Meghan.

Outside, the property includes a gatehouse, stunning gardens and lawns, a private wharf, and a swimming pool.

Prince Harry and Meghan’s first official royal tour will include time in Sydney, Melbourne, Dubbo and Fraser Island, as well as other Commonwealth countries, including Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand.

The couple has a stacked itinerary which includes public picnics, farm visits and a “Fluoro Friday” for mental health, but are predominantly here for the Invictus Games.

Their arrival today has been fairly low-key (as much as possible) as their official duties won’t kick off until tomorrow.
