The Duke and Duchess of Sussex paid tribute to Australia and New Zealands war dead as Harry unveiled an extension to the Anzac memorial at a sombre ceremony in Sydney.
Harry, wearing his Blues & Royals tropical dress, medals and Knight Commander of the Victorian Order, also sported the insignia of his new position as the Queens personal aide-de-camp for the occasion in the citys Hyde Park on Saturday.
The 34-year-old was joined by Meghan, in a black Emilia Wickstead dress and black Philip Treacy hat, as the couple attended the opening of the memorial which commemorates those who fell in the First World War, as well as conflicts in Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq and the Colonial Wars.
The structure was initially designed in the 1930s by Bruce Dellit, but, following the Great Depression, the finances were not available to make the architects vision which includes a four-tier cascading waterfall a reality.
Governor General David Hurley welcomed the couple to the monument, where Harry formally opened the new £22 million centenary wing underneath the main memorial.

Did anyone explain to her what it was?
Yikes! don’t women look in the mirror before leaving their home? Both outfits look awful on those women.
Chicken legs for dinner tomorrow.
Where are the prices for her dress?
The black dress appears to be $2,000 (white version)
Wow...they pay their respect to the honored dead...and all they get from this thread is contempt and disrespect. Wow!
Most people here like & respect Harry. Meghan, not so much...
Even if that’s true...she is honoring the war dead. Why does that moment bring out the worst in us.
agree - even from the picture above why are the 3 to the left looking as if they are being respectful of the event in their thoughts watching their step, etc, but Meghan is looking at the camera smiling?
Yeah, you’re right. I’m sure she’s a World War II scholar.
The moment has nothing to do with people’s dislike of her. Many would also say she doesn’t care, or have honor, for anything other than social climbing.
Anzac Day is a very unusual day for British royalty to honor. It marks the day that the Turks beat the forces of Australia and New Zealand. The reason that the Aussies and the Kiwis celebrate it is because it marks the day that they realized that they were their own countries, not just cannon fodder for The British Empire.
“not just cannon fodder for The British Empire.”
Thanks to Winston Churchill for that fiasco/slaughter.

If writing mean things on a website about a woman you don’t know is the way you want to spend your evening go for it. I hope it makes you feel like you’ve accomplished something grand.
People like to say lots of things about people they don’t know. I just wish Freepers could rise above such pettiness. I know they can’t...I just wish they could.
Hope the Salties get both maggots.
Hope the Salties get both maggots.
Harry a reed with her about Trump.
Screw him.
SHE HATES AMERICA AND TRUMP and he agreed with her.
Nuff said.
