Fans react to the steep price of a luxury Sydney event featuring the Duchess
Meghan Markle’s upcoming visit to Australia is drawing attention, but not just because of the trip itself. The price of attending one of the events during the visit has left many fans surprised.
Since joining the royal family, Meghan Markle has carefully built a brand around the Sussexes. Now, nearly a decade after their last major appearance in Australia, the couple is expected to return, with one event in particular already creating a buzz.
The highlight of the visit is a three-day gathering in Sydney described as a “girls’ retreat.” The programme includes Meghan Markle delivering a talk, a formal dinner, yoga and meditation sessions, and even a disco celebration for attendees.
While supporters were excited when the event was announced, attention quickly turned to the cost. According to reports, tickets begin at £1,439. For those willing to pay around £266 more, VIP access offers seating closer to Meghan Markle along with a photo opportunity during the event.
The promotional description calls it “a girls’ weekend like no other,” promising an unforgettable getaway for women looking to reconnect, relax, and enjoy meaningful conversations by the ocean.
Organisers say the luxury retreat is designed to bring women together through discussion, wellness activities, and entertainment. However, the high ticket price has also highlighted the growing value attached to Meghan Markle’s personal brand and the premium cost that often comes with access to her events.
