Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in Australia ahead of her “Girl’s Weekend” retreat — and sources believe the pair are turning the getaway into a semi-promotional tour.
“It feels a bit thrown together,” one source told Rob Shuter of the couple’s travels for his Naughty But Nice Substack on Wednesday, April 15, noting the trip feels “more like a brand tour than anything structured.”
“People are asking — what exactly are they doing there? And no one seems to have a clear answer,” another insider added.
The royal family is reportedly “not worried at all” by Harry and Meghan visiting Down Under.
“If anything, they think it looks a little sloppy — like it’s being run by amateurs,” a royal source told Shuter. “If this was a threat, the palace would react. The fact they’re not tells you everything.”
Despite the confusion, the Duke, 41, and Duchess, 44, are “beaming” over the trip.
“To them, this feels like a reset — like everything is working,” a source told Shuter. “Australia has always been special to them. They feel welcomed, appreciated — it’s a safe space.”

The two made the trip across the Pacific without their children, Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, though Harry reportedly pushed to make it a family vacation.
“She wasn’t comfortable, and when it comes to the children, what Meghan says goes,” a separate source told Shuter on Tuesday, April 14. “Security is always her number one concern. She wants them in a controlled environment, and that’s California.”
The As Ever founder is scheduled for a “Girl’s Weekend” retreat hosted with the Her Best Life podcast from April 17 to April 19 in Sydney. VIP tickets to the retreat were sold for more than $3,000 per person, as Markle was reportedly guaranteed a $1 million appearance fee, according to Shuter.
