[We kicked off coverage of this tour earlier today ](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/harry-and-meghan-kick-off-their-first-big-royal-tour-10-2018/) \-- well, I guess technically yesterday, and I need to note that I accidentally wrote "earlier this year," which is accurate but perhaps dramatic! -- with koalas and Ian Thorpe (which, as I understand it, is how everyone's trip to Sydney begins? Yes? He just meets you at your hotel holding a koala?) and move on now to GIANT CROWDS and, also, a wardrobe change for Meghan, into an olive green shirtdress by Brandon Maxwell ([which Moda Operandi has in red](https://rstyle.me/n/daburkcfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)) and some beige patent heels that I imagine were gifted to her by Kate as a gesture of loving goodwill. I can just see Kate tenderly wrapping these shoes in a baby blanket and gently laying them in Meghan's arms. "Here," she says. "[These have always brought me luck](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjVfu8-Wp6s&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)."

This is very sweet indeed:

Look at the crowds they got:

Part of Day One's events also included a performance from Bangarra Dance company, which -- per royals reporter Emily Andrews -- is "Australia’s leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders dance company." They look amazing:

I've said this before, but while I would not love people staring at my midsection in public and/or screeching about my life choices constantly, getting to travel the world and see all this RAD STUFF would make up for *a lot* of it. I want to go to Sydney and meet Ian Thorpe and a koala and then get to hug sweet old ladies and watch great dancers!

After the dancing and the meeting and greeting, everyone went home and changed and had a reception tonight. God bless Omid Scobie for giving us a good look at the inside of the room:

> At Admiralty House for a reception hosted by the Governor-General and Lady Cosgrove in honour of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s visit. Guests are Australian’s from a broad range of sectors, including arts, sports, charity, community and entertainment.

This next moment is very sweet and also I want to know more about all that china, Harry, so do shift the camera over a bit:

> "We genuinely couldn't think of a better place to announce the upcoming...err...baby," says Prince Harry, who seems a bit taken aback by the novelty of saying it out loud [#royalvisitaustralia](https://twitter.com/hashtag/royalvisitaustralia?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) [pic.twitter.com/x9b9DtOSlh](https://t.co/x9b9DtOSlh?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

FINALLY, before I send you off to the slide show,[ I think you might enjoy this Town & Country piece about the logistics of royal tours.](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a10309303/royal-tour-planning-process/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) You know how I feel about logistics!!
