\u201cThis is a strict no phones, no recording moment for the duration of the interview,\u201d reads a leaked itinerary posted by the Daily Mail on April 13.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe promise it\u2019s worth it \u2014 this is about being fully present, soaking it all in, and it\u2019s also a non-negotiable security requirement. Phones away, eyes up, and enjoy the magic!\u201d the itinerary continued, adding that there will be \u201ca dedicated moment at the end where you can take out your phones and capture a photo of Gemma with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex on stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rest of the weekend<\/a> will be dedicated to yoga, meditation and panel sessions on health and wellness topics with other guests, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

Along with the group shot with Meghan, VIP guests also get a gift bag and their own room at the InterContinental Coogee Beach hotel, while regular ticket holders will have to share.<\/p>\n
