HRH jets off Down Under shortly after wowing at the Dubai World Cup.
She stole the show in a sequinned gown at Dubai’s premier horse-racing event on the weekend.
But just hours later, HRH Princess Haya bint Al Hussein was sitting 38,000 feet in the air and soaring towards the southern hemisphere.
The royal is currently in Australia on an official tour to visit the Antipodean nation’s international affairs think-tank, the Lowy Institute for International Policy.
And HRH didn’t let any potential jet lag slow her down, instead addressing staff at the Sydney-based institute on her first day.

“As part of my opening remarks, I addressed the scourge of hunger and poverty, calling for joint thinking from governments and NGOs,” Princess Haya posted on her social media channels.
“My discussions with the Institute were insightful and productive in understanding how countries can better work together to improve our response to humanitarian disasters.”
The royal also visited the UAE’s national football team, who are currently Down Under to play Australia in a FIFA World Cup 2018 qualifier on Tuesday.
HRH shared an image of herself with the team along with an inspirational message for the players ahead of their match.
“As a team, and as individual players, you are all very much valued by our leadership, and by your fans for your admirable performance and achievements,” Princess Haya wrote.
“The leadership of the UAE is proud of your achievements, because you represent a generation that proved to be capable of overcoming massive challenges. You represent the aspiration of fans who are looking forward to seeing you in Russia in 2018. Reaching the World Cup is a dream for all of us.
“We are with you regardless of the circumstances, regardless of the what the results end up being, because our confidence in you is endless.”

HRH also visited an educational non-profit during her first day, the Smith Family Charity.
“Every child is a treasure that deserves to have a chance to build a future for themselves with dignity,” the royal said of the charity, which has so far helped more than 30,000 students get access to learning.
“The work of the staff and volunteers, the contributions of generous donors and the extraordinary efforts of schools, determination of parents and children to fight for a future with hope was truly inspirational.”
