Harry and Meghan’s Australian tour sparked a return conversation in Britain

The insider added: “In many ways it’s almost a soft launch of a new model of how they want to operate globally.

“They want to prove that they can still attract large crowds, media attention and international interest without being a working royal family.”

The Sussexes visited Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra during their Oz trip.

It came amid ongoing speculation about Harry’s long-term hopes for reconciliation with King Charles, 77, and the wider royal family after years of public fallout following his and Meghan’s departure from royal duties in 2020.

According to reports, Harry remains hopeful that his children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, four, will eventually be able to spend time with the king in Britain.

However, Meghan has not returned to Britain since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022, while the children have not been there since the late monarch’s platinum jubilee celebrations that same year.
