At the weekend, event organiser O’Neill described Meghan as “so divine” after having a Zoom call with her ahead of the tour.
“It couldn’t have been any more, kind of, real,” O’Neill said.
“I just immediately loved chatting to her. She was like, ‘let’s just have a real chat, woman to woman, let’s just go for it’.”
Just 300 tickets are available and they are yet to sell out.
Tickets range from $2699, while the VIP experience costs $3199 and includes a group photo with the duchess.
