The Duke and Duchess of Sussex hugged patients at a children's hospital as hundreds of people turned out to greet them at the beginning of their four-day visit to Australia.
Harry and Meghan spoke to children and posed for photographs with patients, as they were cheered by large crowds gathered along the walkways of the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne on Tuesday, 14 April.
Four-year-old patient Lily presented them with a hand-drawn sign that said: "Welcome Harry and Meghan" and also gave a flower to the duchess. Meghan hugged Lily and told her: "Oh my gosh, this is so sweet. I love it."
Harry and Meghan also took part in a garden therapy session with patients, smelling plants and flowers. Asked if he would like to take some gumtree home, Harry joked: "I would, but I think I'd probably get arrested at some point."
Following the hospital visit, Meghan visited a women's refuge in the city, where she donned an apron and served frittata to people at the centre, run by McAuley Community Services for Women.
The hospital's chief executive, Dr Peter Steer, said the turnout to greet the couple was "extraordinary", adding "imagine if we'd let them know in advance".
