Prince Harry and Meghan kicked off their shoes and went barefoot on Bondi Beach, as they continued their tour of Australia and New Zealand.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex met surfing community group OneWave, as they took part in "Fluro Friday".
That meant there was a lot of neon and colourful garlands to be seen at the session, which encourages the discussion of mental health issues.
The prince then climbed Sydney Harbour Bridge with Invictus Games competitors.
The couple were greeted by cheers and screams as they arrived at Bondi, the latest stop on their Australian tour, just before 08:30 local time on Friday morning.

They were met by Grant Trebilco and Sam Schumacher, founder and co-founder of OneWave - one in a floral suit, and the other in gold trousers and rainbow-coloured braces.

Prince Harry got into the spirit of the occasion by slipping a blue lei around his neck, to match his shirt of the same colour, while his wife was given a pink one.

The duchess is wearing another outfit by an Australian designer, this time choosing a striped dress by Martin Grant.
Both went barefoot to walk on the beach, where they sat in a circle on the sand to speak to members of OneWave.
During the beach visit, the couple received gifts including a large teddy bear, a lifeguard jacket and a bunch of carrots.
"Oh my goodness, we've got some veggies," Meghan said to Harry, who replied: "Fantastic".
The duke then moved on to his challenge at Sydney Harbour Bridge.

  By Suleiman Ugbokhe Pa Akubo Yakubu Esuka, the Ódegbé of Imiegba Imiegba Community, Three Ivie Clan in Etsako East local government area was in a celebration mode on Sunday, December 27, 2020, when the indigenes both home and abroad joined the children of Pa Akubo Yakubu Esuka to celebrate his enthronement as the Ódegbé of Imiegba. Pa. Akubo Yakubu Esuka was born to the family of Mr. Esuka and Madam Ogenikho about 104 years ago in Imiegba.

I was still not able to get a job." As the saying goes, 'no place like home,' Pa Akubo had ...

One Year After ... Hon. Princess Benedicta Ebuehi Remains The Toast Of Etsako East People

By Suleiman Ugbokhe Hon. Princess Benedicta Ebuehi, Former Executive Chairman, Etsako East Local Government Area It is one year now since Hon. Princess Benedicta Ebuehi left office as the Executive Chairman of Etsako East local government area, a position she stepped into when the then helmsman, Aremiyau Momoh (Mbakwe), under whom she was the vice chairman, was removed from office by the state government two years into the three-year tenure. On assuming office as Executive Chairman, Princess Benedicta left no one in doubt that she was coming into office to serve the people of Etsako East local government area, and not to canonise, imperialise herself as was the case before her. One of the first things she did to demonstrate her people-oriented policy was the purchase and installation of a transformer at Awuyemi (Ward 5), to end years of darkness in that part of Okpella. It is very easy to gloss over this achievement but when the socioeconomic ripple effects of restoring power supply t...
