<p>According to the official website, Pitch@Palace also has a global component that helps "build access and connectivity around the world".</p>
<p>Prince Andrew will also travel to Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane and the Gold Coast for the program over the next nine days.</p>
<p>Although the Royal Family are heavily watched, it’s not impossible for members to fly into countries undetected.</p>
<p>In June, Prince Andrew’s daughter, Princess Beatrice, also arrived in Sydney unnoticed.</p>
<p>The 30-year-old was later spotted around Sydney attending a lunch and touring St Vincent’s Hospital in Darlinghurst.</p>
<p>The Queen’s granddaughter spent 90 minutes meeting hospital staff and patients.</p>
<p>"What she wanted to come to see, in particular, was the mental health department. She has a specific interest in that, as well as in HIV," a hospital spokesman said.</p>
<p>"She also toured the emergency department and inpatient wards and she went to Caritas, our mental health unit, and met with staff, psychiatrists, nursing staff and patients."</p>
<p>"The staff were very struck by her personal interest in their endeavours, particularly in mental health."</p>
<p>"She was delightful. The staff were really blown away. She was very, very present."</p>
<p>"She's like her mum (Sarah, Duchess of York) and her late aunt (Diana, Princess of Wales) and was extremely engaged and interested."</p>
<p>Prince Andrew and his daughters have visited Australia several times as Fergie’s sister, Jane, has lived in the country for more than 30 years.</p>
