Meghan Markle<\/a> was brutally savaged by a group of royal commentators for her latest scheduled appearance in Australia<\/a> next month. The Duchess of Sussex will be the star attraction at a women-only event in Sydney<\/a> during a number of engagements Down Under.<\/p>\n

Meghan will be interviewed on stage at the \u00a31,440-per-person event in April during her trip with the Duke of Sussex. VIP tickets for the 300-person event from April 17 to 19 cost 3,199 Australian dollars (\u00a31,700) and offer front-row seats at the gala dinner and a group photo with Meghan.<\/p>\n

But her appearance was dubbed a \u201cComic-Con\u201d by a number of royal commentators, who said that Meghan being described as \u201cjust like Fergie\u201d is a \u201clow blow\u201d.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Daily Mail<\/a>\u2019s royal editor, Rebecca English, said on the Palace Confidential podcast: \u201cWhen they left the Royal Family, they were trumpeting a hundred million pound deals, and now it’s kind of \u00a31,700 for a group photograph with them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey’re now basically doing kind of pay-per-meet and photograph events.\u201d<\/p>\n

The outlet\u2019s diary editor, Richard Eden, then added: \u201cIt kind of conjures images for me of kind of fan conventions.\u201d<\/p>\n

To which host Jo Elvin said: \u201cYeah, I was going to say Comic-Con. That’s what it sounds like.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ms English went on to say how a royal source claimed Meghan has basically turned into Sarah Ferguson, to which Mr Eden exclaimed: \u201cOh, that’s a low blow.\u201d<\/p>\n

The outlet\u2019s royal editor then added: \u201cI hadn’t thought of it like that, but when they said it, I was like, God, you know, you’re right, because this is what she did when she divorced Prince Andrew<\/a> and stopped being a working royal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meghan\u2019s appearance was announced by Gemma O’Neill, host of the Her Best Life podcast, which is organising the event.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI have admired this woman (Meghan) and what she has endured, how she’s risen above it and how she has demonstrated how a woman can be pushed down and she can still rise.\u201d<\/p>\n

O’Neill described the three-day event at a beachside hotel as \u201cthe ultimate girls weekend\u201d and said Meghan had contacted her after being put in touch by a mutual friend.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel so flattered that she’s effectively doing this as a favour because of our mutual friend,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe’s doing it because she really loves what our community is about, which is women trying to grow, try to be their best selves and trying to help other women.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meghan Markle will travel to Australia next month (Image: Getty) Meghan Markle was brutally savaged by a group…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":476921,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,169791,2744,2745,100,169790,169789,3566,3567,3565,26387,2747,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-476920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-harry-and-megahn-latest","tag-harry-and-meghan","tag-harry-and-meghan-news","tag-meghan-markle","tag-meghan-markle-fans","tag-meghan-markle-hospital","tag-meghan-markle-latest","tag-meghan-markle-latest-news","tag-meghan-markle-news","tag-meghan-markle-update","tag-royal-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476920\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/476921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
