The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, visited the Australian War Memorial (AWM) in Canberra on Tuesday, 15 April 2026. During the visit, he laid a wreath at the Stone of Remembrance to honour Australia's servicemen and women.
Prince Harry also participated in a traditional Indigenous smoking ceremony conducted by Ngunnawal elders. The ceremony, held at the AWM's Commemorative Courtyard, is a ritual of cleansing and welcome. The Duke met with several Indigenous veterans following the ceremony.
The visit was part of the Duke's trip to Australia, which coincides with the Invictus Games Sydney 2026, an international sporting event for wounded, injured, and ill servicemen and women and veterans, which he founded. His schedule also includes engagements related to the Games and meetings with Australian officials.
