The former Suits star and her husband, Prince Harry, have recently announced their first visit to Australia in seven years. During their stay, Meghan will be the main attraction at an exclusive women’s retreat in Sydney.

Gemma O’Neill, host of the Her Best Life podcast, who are running the retreat, said: “I have admired [Meghan] and what she has endured…and how she has demonstrated how a woman can be pushed down and she can still rise.
“I feel so flattered because she’s effectively doing this as a favour because of our mutual friend, and she’s doing it because she really loves what our community is about, which is women trying to grow…be their best selves and trying to help other women.
“It’s a very small event for 300 women… it’s going to be a fireside chat with Meghan and I.”
And in an announcement revealing Meghan will be the weekend’s headline speaker, the podcast wrote on Instagram: “This is going to be an unforgettable weekend designed for women who want to reconnect, recharge, laugh, learn and have some serious fun.”
The retreat is described on Her Best Life’s website as an “intimate luxury weekend by the ocean designed to bring women together for powerful conversations, relaxation, laughter and unforgettable experiences”.
While Meghan’s candid address is pitched as the weekend’s “highlight”, attendees can also take part in a women’s psychology session, yoga, sound healing, time by the pool and a “dance-floor-filled disco night”.
Harry and Meghan first visited Australia in their first official overseas engagement as a married couple in 2018, months before they stepped back as working royals, and they will be returning to the country as private citizens, visiting Sydney and Melbourne to pursue their own charitable and commercial interests.
However, they are not expected to take their children, Prince Archie, six, or four-year-old Princess Lilibet because the youngsters will be in school.
Their spokesperson confirmed: “Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex will visit Australia in mid-April to take part in a number of private, business, and philanthropic engagements. Further details will be shared in due course.”
According to the Daily Telegraph, Harry is likely to focus on visiting the armed forces and veterans’ communities, having previously spent a month at a barracks in Darwin in 2015.
