Harry and Meghan: The first tour

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have touched foreheads with the Maoris, cuddled koalas, gone welly-wanging and watched countless ceremonies.

They also received their first baby gifts after announcing that they were expecting.

Their tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga is an example of the type of soft diplomacy at which the royals excel.

Sky's royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills travelled with the couple - and has this special report - on how they were received down under.

This tour is when it all fell down... When the royal family saw how popular they were, how they eclipsed everyone else including the future king and queen, this is when they said we have to do something, notice how everything changed after that tour🙄

This tour was overwhelmingly successful, and quite different to any of the other royal tours, and this was the undoing of Meghan. I can imagine the jealousy from the other royals. She was given the task of making her own speeches on her first tour which was never done by any of the newly married brides who had married into Royalty i.e. as the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Countess of Wessex. She is eloquent, articulate and highly intelligent, and and I am convinced that's when it all started to unruffle for her. A great pity, because she would have been a great asset to the British Royal Family.

This tour was so epic, I loved it, felt like I was right there with them, I can't wait til they go to Africa or the Caribbean with the baby, gonna be even 10 x better. Duke and Duchess of Sussex definitely down to earth, loving and caring, People Prince and Princess.

Both the Duke and Duchess did an incredible job.

Power couple. Humble but powerful. The Maoris showed up and showed out. I was so proud of everyone ‘s cultures and the refusal to have them diluted

Harry has so much swag, I wish them the best

People are complaining that the royals are scroungers, but sometimes it's not only about economic benefits... JUST LOOK at how the royals bring people together, look at the joy on people's face, sometimes we need these kind of "seem to be useless" little things in our lives

This is when the royal family got jealous and things changed.

[osvaldodanett]

the visit that sparked all the jealousy

[Wegotdb]

The start of the end. When the spare and his wife won over the public. Establishment couldn't let that happen I guess.

[lilianduyile]

Anyone else came here after the Oprah Interview? She actually was really good

[mariaathena]

How different was your commentary about this couple when they had the protection of being "members of the royal family" As opposed to the unethical inaccurate malicious misinformation commenting now, .Heartbreaking the cruel social media culture we live in..

[constancehaynes]

Things turned for the worse after this SUCCESSFUL TOUR! Who knew, miss seeing them. I thought they represented the monarchy very well. Can’t be to good!

[nigerianmomvlogs]

Thank God for her Black genes. which involves no nonsense attitude and time for nonsense. She has a platform now to help as many people has she could and having no time for horrible and greedy dad, jealous no good half brother and sister. looking forward with her major goal helping less fortunate people around her. THANK GOD FOR STRONG BLACK GENES.

Good as a tour of a family on a commonwealth country to visit as the family.
