Prince William Message To Australia, After Harry-Meghan’s Tour Announced

Prince William has sent out a new message to Australia, just days after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they’d be making a trip there next month. The Prince of Wales, Commodore-in-Chief of the Royal Navy Submarine Service, paid tribute to sailors and submariners in the UK and Australia for their skills, service and sacrifice, as this year marks 125 years since the formation of the Commonwealth Naval Forces that later became the Royal Australian Navy.

In a video message posted on social media by the Ministry of Defence, the future King thanked those in service and hailed AUKUS for protecting “our shared values, peace, and security”.
