Megyn Kelly shares her thoughts on Meghan Markle’s luxury retreat in Australia
Kelly focused her criticism on the cost of attending and the nature of the VIP perks. In her latest Instagram video, she said the event invites fans to spend thousands of dollars to spend time in the same environment as Markle, even though direct interactions appear limited. She also pointed out that the advertised photo opportunity involves group pictures, even for those purchasing the most expensive ticket.
Kelly contrasted that setup with her own live events, saying fans attending her tours typically receive one-on-one photo opportunities. The gathering, scheduled for April 17–19 in Sydney, has been promoted as a wellness-focused weekend featuring conversations, relaxation activities, and networking opportunities for women. The duchess is expected to headline the event.
The event will take place at the InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach, hosted by the Her Best Life community. Promotional materials say attendees will spend two days near the ocean participating in guided discussions, meditation sessions, yoga, and other group experiences designed to encourage connection and self-reflection. Organizers say the program will include a gala dinner, a live conversation with Markle, and wellness activities led by guest speakers.
Much of the online discussion has centered on the retreat’s premium ticket tier. According to the event website, the highest-priced package costs around $3,199 per person. It includes perks such as preferred seating at the gala dinner, an ocean-view hotel room, and an exclusive gift bag. The package also advertises a “group table photo with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.”
Markle has increasingly participated in speaking engagements and curated events since stepping back from senior royal duties alongside Prince Harry in 2020. The couple relocated to the United States that year and has since focused on media projects. They have also been part of philanthropic work and public appearances related to social issues and wellness initiatives.
