Why Meghan Markle's first royal tour to Australia is so important

Why her toughest task is still yet to come. - by Jessica Bosco
  • 29 Aug 2018

Meghan Markle’s first few months as a royal have been tumultuous to say the least, but the Duchess has handled it like an absolute pro. 

Despite the drama her estranged family have managed to stir up, the Duchess of Sussex has held her head up high and proven she’s up t the job.

But according to one royal expert, Meghan’s toughest task is still ahead of her, with her first official royal tour with Prince Harry.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrive in Dublin for their first official visit to Ireland #RoyalVisitIreland 🇮🇪 Tá an Diúc agus an Bandiúc Sussex i mBaile Átha Cliath ar a gcéad chuairt oifigiúil go hÉirinn. #CuairtRíogaArÉirinn 🇮🇪

“With the Duchess of Sussex being from the US the concept of monarchy is a bit alien, so it’s been a great learning curve she has taken in her stride and managed incredibly well,” the Queen’s former spokesperson, Dickie Arbiter, told the Daily Mail.

However, Arbiter says the royal tour down under will be a “litmus test” for Meghan and will test her like nothing else.

The @SouthBankCentre #Mandela100 exhibition celebrates the life of Nelson Mandela, 100 years after he was born - today The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the exhibition, where they met Zamaswazi Dlamini-Mandela, granddaughter of Nelson Mandela.

“She’s a good communicator, she’s good at talking to people but it will be a real baptism of fire,” he contined. “They will have a very demanding schedule and the Duchess will have to get used to local customs with the eyes of the world on her.”

“But no doubt she will come through with flying colors and they will show they will be a force of good for the Commonwealth and the Royal Family on the global stage.”

We reckon she’s going to nail it – bring on Meghan and Harry watch!
