Since marrying her prince in 2004 she's known to have come back to Australia at least nine times - with four being official visits.

Before the pandemic, the family would make a visit back at least every one or two years, but this slowed after 2017.

In March 2021, the royal made a secret trip without her husband or children for her 50th birthday.
