Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s first visit as a couple to Australia is off to a promising start. Just moments after the soon-to-be parents arrived in the drought-stricken city of Dubbo, a much-needed rainfall fell upon the town!
On Wednesday, Oct. 17, Harry and Meghan arrived in Dubbo to visit Victoria Park. The couple was taken aback — but also thrilled — when rain began to fall.
Luckily, the pair had a set of umbrellas handy, and continued their tour despite the downpour.
At one point, they even cozied up together under the same umbrella.
When Harry went to make a speech, Meghan happily accompanied him to the podium, where she kept him covered with an umbrella she herself held.
