Meghan Markle<\/a> has been described as “real”, “divine”, and “beautiful” ahead of her Australia trip. Before the Duchess of Sussex’s appearance at a wellness retreat in Sydney<\/a>, which kicks off on April 17, organiser Gemma O’Neill released an update to her followers about her most recent conversation with Meghan.<\/p>\n

The event promises yoga<\/a>, sound healing, meditation, and a ‘fireside chat’ Q&A with Meghan alongside a gala dinner, which she will attend. Host Gemma O’Neill released an update to her followers about her conversation with Meghan. She said: “‘I’ve literally just got off the phone with Meghan… It couldn’t have been any more real and she was just so divine and so beautiful.”<\/p>\n

She added: “‘I just immediately loved chatting to her she was just amazing and I just adore already and I’m so excited for those who are joining us in our community next weekend to have the opportunity to experience how brilliant she is as well.”<\/p>\n

As reported in the Daily Mail<\/a>, the host further added: “I know she is really looking forward to it and she can’t wait to be in a room with our community and great women and she was just like ‘let’s just have a real chat. Let’s just woman-to-woman let’s go for it’.”<\/p>\n

In the gushing video, Ms O’Neill adds that she is already Meghan’s “biggest fan”.<\/p>\n

The event is being held<\/a> at the InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach, where rooms typically cost between \u00a3250 and \u00a3450 per night.<\/p>\n

300 women are scheduled to attend the event, which will take place between April 17 and 19.<\/p>\n

Tickets for the event started at A$2,699 (\u00a31,400) per person. The VIP experience set fans back $3,199AUD [\u00a31,700].<\/p>\n

This experience includes, but is not limited to, a group picture with Meghan, seating within the front two rows at Meghan’s event and an exclusive VIP goodie bag.<\/p>\n

The event has already<\/a> gained criticism for the expensive prince tag, with one writing: “For $3,000 I’d want her to come around to my house and cook me dinner and then cut it up and feed it to me before she does the dishes and my laundry and then vacuums the house. She can wash the car too. Three Grand!!! P*** off.”<\/p>\n

Prince Harry<\/a> is also set to join his wife on the trip Down Under. Their children, six-year-old Prince Archie and four-year-old Princess Lilibet, will reportedly remain at their home in the US.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meghan Markle has been described as “real”, “divine”, and “beautiful” ahead of her Australia trip.
