Prince Harry will arrive in Australia in June after staging a polo match in Singapore in aid of his Lesotho-based HIV and AIDS charity Sentebale, Kensington Palace says.

Harry will visit Sydney, which in 2018 will stage the Prince's Invictus Games, a competition for injured servicemen and women and veterans from across the globe.

"His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales will make visits to Singapore and Sydney in early June," Kensington Palace said in a statement.

"Prince Harry will travel to Singapore to play in the Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup. Sentebale is a charity that Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho established in 2006 and is working to become the leading organisation in the provision of psycho-social support for children living with HIV in Southern Africa.

"In Sydney, Prince Harry will attend events to celebrate the city's hosting of the 2018 Invictus Games, the international sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women founded by the Prince in 2014."
