Meghan has arrived at women’s shelter for a solo visit.

She is visiting the McAuley homeless centre in inner-western Melbourne for a walk around and to serve meals to women who live there.

Meghan donned an apron as she warmly greeting residents as she served up zucchini slice for lunch.

The Duchess has previously attended women’s homeless facilities in Vancouver, Los Angeles, Bristol, and Dusseldorf during the 2023 Invictus Games.

It’s understood that Meghan handpicked the McAuley facility for a visit.

‘It’s very lovely to have attention on the whole issue of homelessness and family violence and she will bring that attention to this this facility, so that’s good,’ McAuley CEO Jocelyn Bignold told reporters.

‘The women are excited to see and meet her. They’re also a little bit nervous.’

She added that some residents were aware of Meghan’s lifestyle show As Ever and looked forward to cooking with her in the centre’s kitchen.

A large crowd has gathered at Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne for Harry and Meghan’s visit.

A group of about 70 staff, parents and young patients waited in the hospital foyer of in excited anticipation for the couple, who arrived at midday.

Many more watched on from higher levels and outside.

Harry and Meghan greeted staff at the hospital entrance, near where the plaque commemorating Queen Elizabeth II’s 2011 opening of the site is installed.

They warmly greeted children and posed for selfies as they wandered through the foyer.

Wearing a black sleeveless dress with gold buttons, Meghan chatted with parents and Harry shook the hand of a little boy, saying ‘give us a big smile!’

The couple appeared refreshed and cheerful, just hours after a 15-hour flight from Los Angeles.

As Harry and Meghan made their way through the hospital, he reached around his back with his left hand to hold hers.

They later toured the wards to make some bedside visits, while Meghan took part in a therapy program with adolescent patients with acute and chronic health issues.

Some parents were here coincidentally having their children treated when they heard about the VIP visitors.

Others were completely unaware.

‘I just came here and was like, what is going on?’ parent Pina Roberts earlier told Daily Mail.

‘Anything that acknowledges us (patients and parents at the hospital) is good thing.

‘But I didn’t even know they were coming, so I would wonder why they are actually here.’
