Prince Harry will make his first official visit to Australia in October to attend a navy commemoration event.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced the visit on Monday.
AAP reports the prince, 28, will attend numerous events marking the centenary of the first entry of the Royal Australian Navy fleet into Sydney, which is being held from 3 - 11 October.
Eighteen visiting warships and 16 tall ships from around Australia and the world will take part with 19 RAN ships.
Captain Wales is an operational Apache helicopter pilot with the British Army Air Corps. Although he visited Australia during a gap year in 2003, this will be his first official visit representing the Queen.
The Australian Prime Minister's office said further details would be released closer to the date of the visit.
