Prince Harry and his new bride Meghan will visit Australia in October during their first official overseas tour, Kensington Palace has announced.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who married last month, will travel to Sydney for the 2018 Invictus Games - a Paralympics style event for defence veterans - of which Prince Harry is patron.

It hasn't been revealed if they will travel elsewhere in Australia, but their overseas tour will also include New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga.

Kensington Palace said more details about the tour will be released "in due course".

The 2018 Sydney-based event will run from October 20 to 27.
