The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have had a special beer created in their honour ahead of their visit to Australian city Dubbo.
Royal fever is well underway in Australia now Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have begun their visit to the Commonwealth country and to mark the trip Dubbo’s Old Bank Bar and Restaurant has created a special brew for the couple called Dubbo Royale ahead of their visit to the New South Wales city on Wednesday (17.10.18).
‘Dubbo Royale’ has been bottled in a red, white and blue can – the colours of both the flags of the USA and UK – and is a British-style lager combined with "fruity" American West Coast hops "for the Meghan component".
Speaking to The Daily Liberal, Old Bank Hotel licensee Ryan Mackintosh said: "It’s in high demand. It’s the only beer brewed in Australia for their visit to Australia. It’s like a marriage in a beer can. It’s our tribute to their upcoming visit to Dubbo."
Pubs across town will be serving cans of Royale for locals to drink as they have a day off when the couple arrive.
Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, announced that they are expecting their first baby together on Monday (15.10.18) in a statement that read: "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. Their Royal Highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public."
Since arriving in Sydney, the pair have already been inundated with baby gifts.
Whilst attending a welcome reception at Admiralty House in Sydney, they were handed a fluffy stuffed kangaroo and fleece Ugg baby booties by the Governor General Peter Cosgrove and his wife Lady Lynne Cosgrove.
Duchess Meghan said: "That’s so cute, it’s our first baby gift!"
Harry and Meghan also enjoyed a tour of the Sydney Opera House.
