Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are wrapping up their four-day tour of Australia with a visit to Sydney’s Bondi Beach, where a terrorist attack occurred just months ago.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex met with both survivors and first responders while stopping by the Bondi Surf Bathers’ Life Saving Club on Friday (April 17) in Sydney, Australia.
Volunteers from the organization, founded in 1907, helped protect beachgoers who were present during the attack on December 14, 2025.
Lifeguard Jonathan Botts told Hello, “It means a lot. They’ve taken time out of their pretty brief visit to Australia to visit the site and meet with some of the people that were involved and a lot of the people who are affected.”
Survivor Jessica Chapnik Kahn said, “The greater problem in the world right now is hate. Hate is a human problem that we’re facing, a very big problem. So to highlight that, to be able to connect with them on this heart level, I think is very special.” She added that it was an “honor” to meet the couple.
Harry and Meghan also went for a ride on a police launch boat, which took them to a yacht for a sailing event with members of Invictus Australia.
