Prince Harry and Meghan Markle began the final day of their whirlwind Australian tour by meeting the survivors and first responders of the horrific Bondi Beach terror attack that occurred on December 14, 2025.

The couple arrived at Bondi Surf Bathers’ Life Saving Club on Friday morning, where they spoke to survivors Jessica Chapnik Khan and Elon Zizer. 

Jessica shared that it was an “honor” to meet the couple, before adding: “The greater problem in the world right now is hate. Hate is a human problem that we’re facing, a very big problem. So to highlight that, to be able to connect with them on this heart level, I think is very special.”

Elon agreed that Harry and Meghan’s visit was “very special” and “makes us feel heard”.

The Bondi shooting, which was named the worst terror attack in Australia’s history, saw two gunmen open fire on a group of Jewish people celebrating Hanukkah at Bondi Beach on December 14. Fifteen people lost their lives in the attack, and dozens were injured as a result.
