Prince Harry and Meghan’s visit to Australia is reportedly contrary to the late Queen’s wishes, according to a source close to the former monarch. The trip blends traditional royal engagements like hospital visits and charity work with ventures into commercial opportunities. Meghan is set to participate in a ‘girls-only’ weekend retreat in Sydney, where ticket prices start at £1,400. Additionally, she has recently invested in an online fashion business, allowing her to profit from her fashion choices.
Six years ago, Harry and Meghan expressed their desire to be partly involved with royal duties while pursuing money-making ventures. However, the late Queen was said to have disapproved of this arrangement and insisted they choose one path following the ‘Sandringham Summit.’
During their ongoing trip, one source linked to the late Queen expressed concerns about the unfolding events, stating that while it may be frustrating, the royal institution must adapt to progress forward.
In a reflective moment in Melbourne, Harry shared that he had initially resisted his royal role due to the tragic loss of his mother, Princess Diana, but later reconsidered the impact he could make. Meghan also opened up about her personal struggles with online bullying during a discussion on mental health, emphasizing the challenges posed by social media platforms. She encouraged resilience in the face of online cruelty.
As the royal couple continues their visit, they are engaging in public appearances and heartfelt discussions, shedding light on their personal journeys and commitments to causes close to their hearts.
