Prince Harry and wife Meghan Meghan Markle have touched down in Sydney, on their first official overseas royal tour.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived on a Qantas flight ahead of a 16-day tour, including 76 engagements across Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand.

The visit is primarily for the Invictus Games, which runs from October 20-28.

The Olympics-style sporting event was founded by Prince Harry in 2014, for sick and injured veterans.

Royal watchers will no doubt be trying to catch a glimpse of the pair as they make their way around the harbour city and other parts of the country.

Their tour will take them to Dubbo in the NSW Central West, Melbourne and Queensland’s Fraser Island.
