Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are scheduled to visit Australia next month for an exclusive royal-themed tour. Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, will be the main attraction at a special ‘girls weekend’ retreat in Sydney. Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy a grand dinner and even take a photo with Meghan if they hold VIP tickets.
The event has stirred some controversy due to the high ticket prices, starting at £1,439 per person. This fee includes accommodation at a luxurious Sydney beach hotel and access to various activities over the three-day event, such as a gala dinner, yoga sessions, meditation classes, and a disco party.
For those seeking a closer interaction with Meghan, VIP experience tickets are available for £1,705 each. This premium package guarantees a seat at a table near Meghan during the gala dinner and a group photo opportunity with the Duchess of Sussex.
The advertisement for the event promises a unique and empowering experience for women looking to relax, engage in meaningful conversations, and have fun by the ocean. Meghan’s last visit to Australia in 2018, during her first royal tour with Prince Harry, drew large crowds and featured numerous engagements across different countries.
While Meghan enjoyed the public attention during the tour, a book by former royal correspondent Valentine Low revealed that she questioned the purpose of royal walkabouts. Despite being admired as an inspirational figure, Meghan reportedly expressed surprise at not being compensated for interacting with numerous strangers during these official appearances.
In addition to Meghan’s activities, Prince Harry is set to speak at the InterEdge Summit in Melbourne, a professional development event focused on creating mentally healthy and high-performing workplaces. Ticket prices for the mental health summit start at £1,054, with proceeds going to Lifeline.
A spokesman for the royal couple confirmed their upcoming trip to Australia, mentioning their participation in private, business, and philanthropic engagements. However, it is unlikely that their children, Archie and Lilibet, will accompany them on this visit.
