The koala joeys named in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's honour are set for a royal treatment with the couple planning on cosying up to the marsupials while visiting Sydney's Taronga Zoo.
The newborn koalas were named ahead of their nuptials in May as an early wedding present from NSW.
After arriving in Sydney on Monday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced they were expecting a baby.
Kensington Palace tweeted the pregnancy news on Monday evening: "Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the spring of 2019."
The pair spent Monday resting before beginning their first official overseas tour as a royal couple.
On Tuesday, Taronga Zoo is one stop during a full day's worth of engagements, with the couple then heading to the Opera House.

They will be on hand to help open a new research and education facility for students, and to meet with conservation scientists.
The Institute of Science and Learning will be home to native bilbies and quokkas living in classrooms, and the largest collection of frozen coral cells from the Great Barrier Reef.
Taronga Zoo are excited to welcome the royals and confirmed they would finally come face-to-face with their furry namesakes.
