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.

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?

People are Markling themselves these days. I can't keep up.

Did I read that Meghan isn’t staying the whole weekend , she is only attending the event where she is the key note speaker ?

She’s not even staying in the same hotel, she’s at the 5 star Fairmont?

Jackie was not fired. She left. I read they walked out on a multi million dollar contract because of her cohost and that her cohost has been fired.

StartupRepair · 23/03/2026 06:34

She was paid millions to giggle along with and enable one of the most misogynistic, crude and unpleasant men on the planet. For decades.

She didn’t leave.

“Jackie "O" Henderson has denied quitting the hit KIIS FM radio show she hosted with Kyle Sandilands, saying she was left in "shock" by the news.

"Over the past few days, there has been a lot of speculation and misinformation about my departure on the show," she said in a statement on Friday.

"I want to make one important point very clear: I did not quit or resign."

Henderson said she was "deeply saddened" by the events of the past week and the "possibility of the show ending".

"This has come as a shock to me, as it has to everyone else," she said.

As @StartupRepair says, she was perfectly okay with 20 years of extreme sexually explicit content, which including quizzing a 13 year girl if she had been raped by hooking her up to a lie detector test.

BUT, she wanted her cohost sanctioned and the reason for that was ….. wait for it ……because he made fun of her interest in astrology.

Meghan and Marcus are okay with hanging out and doing business with someone of such a crude vulgar mindset and attitude.

Mylovelygreendress · 23/03/2026 08:40

H and M do seem to attract some dubious people don’t they ?

Thedom · 23/03/2026 09:00

The petition has 10’s of thousands of signatures !😲😲

Petition Update: Silencing the Public While Charging $3,200 Headline: They are closing the comments, but we won't be silenced. As our petition continues to grow, it has become clear that the organizers of the upcoming "Her Best Life" retreat are aware of the public’s frustration.

Comments have been limited or disabled on their social media pages—effectively silencing Australians who are questioning why public funds should support this visit. If this event is truly about "empowerment" and "community," why are they afraid to hear from the Australian public?

The Reality of the Visit: • Exorbitant Costs: While Australians struggle with a record-high cost of living, this "girls' weekend" at the InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach is charging up to $3,199 AUD for a VIP ticket. This is not a charitable mission; it is a luxury commercial event. •

Private Interests, Public Bill: Despite these being private, high-priced engagements—including Prince Harry’s paid speaking role in Melbourne—the burden of security and logistics often falls on the host nation. •

Treason against the Crown: We continue to stand by our belief that individuals who have actively undermined the Royal Family and the Monarchy have no place receiving state-funded hospitality in a Commonwealth nation.

We are calling on the government to provide a clear guarantee: Not one cent of taxpayer money should be used for the security, transport, or coordination of this private, commercial tour.

Please continue to share this petition. They can limit their comment sections, but they cannot ignore thousands of signatures.

Thanks for sharing @Thedom, fair dinkum you can’t argue with that.

Thedom · 23/03/2026 09:14

A few of the thousands comments, when will the Sussex’s (Harry Has Been 😀, never head that one before) get the message, they have nothing to offer and even if they did, not many would want it.

They are not working royals & charging people to see them
Shirley
If you’re earning from elite circles off the back of a royal profile you chose to step away from in an unpleasant, undignified manner, taxpayers shouldn’t be covering anything—especially not in Australia.
Naomi
This is a private visit, and they no longer have any formal association with the King and Crown. There should be no government support for this faux visit at any level of government: Federal / State / Local.
John
Boo ! Not wanted here. And definitely stay away if there's cost to the Australian Tax payer.
Anthony
Stay home Meg
Tristian
These two vapid narcissists are leeches on society. Everything they do is self serving, they wouldn’t recognise true empathy or charity if they saw it. Australians realised this the last time they came here and we won’t tolerate paying for them again. Personally I long for the day when we no longer have to hear about them.
Catherine
To those who started this petition and to all those people who have signed the petition, you are wonderful Australians and may GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND THANK YOU...
Robyn
Meghan 'Sussex' and Harry Has Been. Stay Away!
Kay
The Royals have SO much funding, they could certainly afford paying for their trip to Australia
Bronwyn
This is a private visit and they should be treated like any other visitors here for business reasons. They are not Royal. The Royal family do not do paid interviews or engagements.
Gemma
These two wealthy grifters are not welcome here - they are not royal - their charity only goes to themselves - why are they coming? - their entitled and spoilt brats who do nothing for anyone but themselves - LET THEM PAY FOR THEMSELVES - DO NOT PUT ONE CENT OF AUSTRALIANS TAX PAYERS MONEY INTO THESE TWO - THEY ARE NO ONE OF IMPORTANCE JUST WHINGES

I think all that’s left for H&M to do now is shit on Jorginho and Cat Harding’s kid and do a ‘collab’ with Chappell Roan on easter grinch cookies with blood red rose petal sprinkles. That’s about their natural level of ability for judging appropriate endeavours and the public mood.

I read that Jackie had been offered another show on the same radio station so
perhaps the contract that was terminated was for the show we are all talking about here. Offering her another show does not indicate she was fired. Though stories move fast and develop so maybe the final outcome is that she’s no longer employed by the station at all and has indeed been fired outright??

I do not know about Kyle other than he has the reputation of being an absolute misogynistic dick - and that Jackie pandered to it. And that they had a huge audience. It’s quite disturbing that so many people really do want to talk badly to, and about, others. I always underestimate the public’s appetite for nastiness pretending to be a joke.

Does anyone know if the event is sold out yet?

It's been cancelled due to the beach being covered with poo balls and no one wanting to share a double bed with a stranger.

In Australia, that could include being expected to share with a man who says he identifies as a woman, like Roxy Tickle. A complete stranger.

I wonder what Meghan thee ‘Global Thought Leader’ thinks about that.

Roxanne Tickle (centre) looks on as she is surrounded by people while speaking to press outside the Federal Court of Australia in Sydney on 23 August.

Actually @TheAutumnCrowthat is a very good point and I am wondering if that issue has been addressed ?

I imagine MM is very anti-women; it is the fashionable position amongst the Hollywood celebrities, many of whom have transed their children.

Mylovelygreendress · 25/03/2026 09:43

I would hate to share a room or - God forbid- a bed with a strange woman never mind a man pretending to be one !

CanISeeYourLicence · 25/03/2026 09:47

What's a Global Thought Leader?

I'm a person who lives and works around the globe. I also have thoughts - pretty much daily. Some of them are even worth sharing. (Others not so much)

Am I a Global Thought Leader? Can I monetise it? Start a youtube channel?
