Following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s recent trip to Australia—and their snub from King Charles’ 100th birthday tribute to Queen Elizabeth—Prince William and Kate Middleton are now reportedly planning their own tour of the Land Down Under.
A palace insider told New Idea that the couple has long been ken to return to Australia, as their last visit was in 2014. Plans were reportedly delayed after Kate’s cancer diagnosis in 2024, but with her now in remission and feeling better, a tour is once again on the table.
“Now that her health has improved, Kate and William know an official visit to a Commonwealth country as important as Australia—as a family—is overdue, especially since King Charles and Queen Camilla, who are in their late 70s, made the trip in 2024,” the source explained.
The source also said that William and Kate are “well aware” that their tour “will take any gloss off Prince Harry and Meghan’s recent, controversial visit.”
Harry and Meghan, who are no longer working royals, traveled to Australia for a four-day trip in April 2026, primarily focusing on mental health, private business matters and charitable work. They also reportedly met with victims of the 2025 Bondi Beach shooting, which is a fairly standard stop for a royal visit, and were also said to have been paid for some of their appearances.
“It was exactly what Queen Elizabeth refused as an option when Harry and Meghan decided to leave full-time royal work in 2020, ahead of their move to California,” the source added. “William and Kate both know that they need to give Australia a real ‘bells and whistles’ royal tour as soon as their schedule allows.”
As of now, palace insiders are even calling William and Kate’s potential Australian visit “a revenge tour.”
“William and Kate know that the Australian public deserve better,” the insider continued. “It’s their job to make it happen.”
