Dubbo, Fraser Island on Prince Harry and Meghan's official itinerary

Kensington Palace has confirmed Prince Harry and his wife Meghan will visit Dubbo and Fraser Island when they visit Australia in mid October.

Their official trip is aimed at promoting the achievements of injured soldiers taking part in the Invictus Games in Sydney and will focus on youth leadership and environmental causes.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will also travel to Dubbo, Melbourne and Fraser Island.

Australia will be their first stop before they continue on to Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand.

Prince Harry spent time serving with the British military in Afghanistan.

He created the Paralympic-style games in 2014 as a way to inspire wounded soldiers towards recovery.

The Games are an international adaptive multi-sport event for wounded, sick and injured service personnel.

About 550 competitors from 17 countries competed in 12 sports during last year's event.
