  1. Royal couple down under

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are just beginning their first official royal tour since getting married in May.

    The trip to Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand coincides with the fourth Invictus Games, beginning on Saturday, and includes dozens of official events.

    The couple follow in the footsteps of Prince Harry's parents - Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales - whose first royal tour was to Australia and New Zealand.

  2. Motherhood on Meghan's 'bucket list'

    The Duchess of Sussex once said that motherhood was on her "bucket list".

    In an interview in 2016, Meghan said: "I can't wait to start a family, but in due time."

    In the run-up to her wedding to Prince Harry in May, she also hinted at starting her own brood.

    On a trip to Belfast less than two months before the big day, the bride-to-be joked when she was shown an innovative range for newborns: "I'm sure at some point we'll need the whole (lot)."

  3. Speculation after Friday photos

    That speculation intensified when she was seen clutching two large folders in front of her stomach as she arrived in Sydney for the 16-day trip to Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand.
