What's changed since Harry and Meghan last visited Australia in 2018?

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have arrived in Australia for a four-day tour that includes visits to charitable causes alongside private, money-making engagements.

After stepping down as working royals in January 2020 and giving up their His and Her Royal Highness (HRH) titles, the couple are visiting as private citizens and say that the trip is privately funded.

The visit includes meeting patients and medics at a children's hospital, military veterans and their families, and survivors of family violence.

BBC News journalist Simon Atkinson explains how Harry and Meghan's visit will be different compared to their last time in the country in 2018.
