Prince Harry and Meghan’s huge Aussie plans revealed. Visit to Sydney and Melbourne in Mid-April.

EXCLUSIVE

More than seven years after then-newlyweds Prince Harry and Meghan embarked on their hugely successful Aussie tour, the couple is reportedly heading back Down Under.

A source confirmed exclusively to news.com.au that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning to visit Sydney and Melbourne in mid-April.

While their last trip to our shores was in an official capacity as working members of the royal family, this time around they’re travelling as private citizens – and it’s understood they’ll be focusing on activities related to their businesses and philanthropic work.

Details of their specific plans remain unclear, but it’s been rumoured that Meghan will appear as a guest on the Her Best Life podcast, which was initially launched and co-hosted by Jackie “O” Henderson and Gemma O’Neill through their “Besties” company. Earlier this year, just a couple of weeks before her high-profile and abrupt recent exit from her KIIS breakfast show, Henderson revealed that she had decided to “step away” from the venture.

It’s rumoured that Meghan will also appear as a special guest at an upcoming “Besties” event, following in the footsteps of previous VIP speaker Gwyneth Paltrow.

The actress took part in a wide-ranging Q&A with Henderson back in 2023 which attracted around 3,000 ticketholders to the ICC in Sydney’s Darling Harbour – so Meghan’s appearance could be in a similar capacity.
Despite Henderson’s recent departure from the Besties company, she hinted last month that she may return in some capacity in the future - and perhaps Meghan’s involvement could be one such occasion.

While details of the couple’s itinerary are expected to be confirmed in the coming weeks, it’s likely that Harry’s plans will involve Australia’s armed forces or veterans’ community, given his strong connections to both.

It’s understood he also has a number of friends locally, fostered across multiple previous visits, including during his month-long stay with the ADF at an army barracks in Darwin back in 2015.
And in his 2023 memoir, Harry gushed over his time living in Australia as a 19-year-old in 2003.
He wrote in Spare that working as a jackaroo on a farm in rural Queensland had helped him find inner peace during what were “some of the best” weeks of his life.

It’s not yet known whether the Sussexes’ children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, will join them on the trip next month or stay back at the family’s home in Montecito, California.

News.com.au understands that the royal couple’s Aussie visit has been in the works for almost a year.

Blimey was Archie ever referred to in that way by the press? And was it really the rule that family were not allowed to receive photos of babies until after they had been shared with the papers?

I do not recall anyone in the press referring to her DC in that way .
Surely they would take some photos after the birth and share them with close family ?

No never! Just as Meghan wasn’t either! , in fact I don’t think I have ever seen that word ever used in mainstream U.K. media .
also the children are very “white” 🤷‍♀️

No to the first question; and I can't imagine why it would be to the second.

But not one reporter in the British press ever called her child " the N-word". Let alone one in the Royal Rota, whom she was smearing there in that interview.

Typos

No he definitely wasn’t.

if I was going to give her the benefit of the doubt that this wasn’t a complete bare faced lie, I suppose she may have been referring to social media trolls. There were no doubt some low lives using nasty slurs like that, although it would certainly have been a very small minority. And I guess by giving the photos to the press they would be published and circulated online where people could comment freely. I think her statement is deliberately misleading though as it sounds like an allegation against the press.

The second part is certainly untrue though, there would never have been a rule about them sharing photos privately - though I suspect there may have been strong guidance about who photos should be shared with to avoid them being leaked.

But not one reporter in the British press ever called her child " the N-word"

We know they didn't, @Rhaidimiddim (and a good job too) but since when were any of Meghan's claims to be relied on?

Not for nothing did the headlines on Oprah's "interview" have to be doctored, and hideous as they were it's interesting that nothing except Danny Baker's awful stunt, the "(Almost) straight outta Compton" and the "Exotic blood" have been cited

Plus of course speculation about whether the Spencer genes would “stand up” to Meghan’s genes. Except that came from Harry himself of course. Whoops!

But she was referring specifically to the Royal Rota as having used the term. I just re-read the article and it is clear she is referring to the Royal Rota.

"Why would I give the very peopke that are calling my child the N-word a photo of my child..."

She claims the British Press was racist towards her, but she accuses them of a thing they never did.

ETA I haven't learned yet how to copy a URL on devices other than my PC, soz.

Hmmm ... not sure about the Besties retreat

Hmmm they need to sell those tickets fast, MM won’t be turning up for free.

It is all very ‘ Fyre Festival’

I can’t imagine handing over 3k to someone whose other business has gone belly-up !

Exactly!

Hopefully for MM the sugars can get advances on their pocket money.

So much for the privacy they said they wanted.

Wow I’m confused - so is Jackie the previous radio host who was fired from her $100m 10 year radio contract 2 weeks ago after an online bun fight with her co-host? And Gemma is just a talent agent for Jackie but also had a run in with Jackie’s Co-host about her health? And Gemma’s talent agency has gone bust but her other legally and financially separate Besties company with Jackie O is still solvent?

Aren’t they saving up for jam ? Sorry , spread ?

Yes, Harry’s ‘stalker’ currently doing a desperate round robin collection for a seat at the top table, imagine the poor unsuspecting room mate !🤯🤯🤯

Haha no way! if I was a journo I’d pay for her ticket, get one myself and just enjoy watching the fun unfold!

I think if I was a journo I would pay for and book in all the people she has fallen out with over the years so that they could force her into the excruciating gurning group photo as part of the VIP package - Jessica Mulroney, Kate, Samantha Markle, - even Thomas Markle - he could identify as a woman for the day.

I’m speculating 😀. I’m sure the Sussex Squad have a slush fund for this kind of thing 🤪🤪

Meanwhile the Danish royal tour is going very smoothly. Great welcomes from the Governor General and State Premiers, a State dinner and very positive coverage of the Danish business delegation.

There’s lot of chatter on X that Harry has been trying to contact William through a mediator .
Doubt if that will end well .

Meghan is showing herself arranging roses on insta with Harry praising her efforts and calling her babe. She really is an amazing gardener - the amount of style and roses she has. Lilibet is chasing chickens.
