Meghan Markle is reportedly looking forward to taking part in “real woman-to-woman” conversations as she prepares to headline a luxury wellness retreat during her upcoming Australia tour.
The As Ever founder is set to feature at the “Her Best Life” women’s wellness event in Sydney, which begins on April 17. The retreat is being promoted as an exclusive experience focused on connection, reflection, and empowerment.
This visit marks a significant return to Australia for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who are scheduled to travel there for the first time in eight years. The country holds personal meaning for the couple, as their 2018 tour in Australia included the announcement that they were expecting their first child, Prince Archie. According to event organizers, Meghan is “really looking forward” to leading the high-profile retreat in Sydney.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will begin their private Australia trip on April 14, with appearances planned in both Sydney and Melbourne. Their itinerary is expected to include a combination of private meetings, philanthropic activities, and business-related engagements. Prince Harry is also scheduled to deliver a keynote address on April 15 at the InterEdge Psychosocial Safety Summit.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle will take center stage at the women-only “Her Best Life” retreat. The program is expected to include a fireside chat with the Duchess, interactive Q&A sessions, sound healing experiences, a gala evening, and a formal dinner hosted at the InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach.
Event organizer Gemma O’Neill recently shared a personal update ahead of the sold-out retreat’s launch, speaking in a video posted on April 10. She revealed that she had just spoken with Meghan and described the conversation in enthusiastic terms, saying the Duchess came across as warm, genuine, and “divine.”
O’Neill also emphasized Meghan’s excitement about the upcoming event, noting that she is eager to engage directly with attendees. According to her, Meghan expressed a desire for open, authentic discussions, saying she wants the gathering to feel like a sincere “woman-to-woman” conversation.
Marketed as an intimate luxury weekend by the ocean, the retreat aims to bring women together for meaningful discussions, relaxation, and shared experiences. However, the event has also drawn attention due to its pricing, with ticket packages reportedly starting at around $1,800 and reaching over $2,600 for premium access.
