Meghan Markle is reportedly preparing for a high-profile trip to Australia that could also turn into a major payday. According to a source, the Duchess of Sussex has secured a lucrative appearance fee for her luxury retreat in Sydney.
The three-day event is expected to bring together hundreds of guests for conversations about personal growth, wellness, and community. While details about Markle’s participation are still emerging, insiders claim the appearance is part of her expanding post-royal business ventures.
Meghan Markle ‘is being paid extremely well’ for retreat appearance in Australia, per source
According to an insider who spoke to Naughty But Nice, Meghan Markle is reportedly receiving a sizable fee to headline the upcoming retreat. The source claimed the duchess “is being paid extremely well,” alleging that her appearance fee is around $1 million. The insider also said that nearly every aspect of the trip, from travel to accommodations, is being fully covered by the event organizers.
“Her fee is around a million dollars, and the trip itself is completely taken care of,” the source claimed. The insider added that the visit is being organized as a “full VIP operation.” They suggested that Markle is expected to travel alongside a small team that could include her assistant, security, and glam squad.
The event is scheduled to take place at the InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach, a luxury oceanfront hotel. The three-day gathering will host roughly 300 women who will attend a mix of wellness activities and discussions focused on personal growth and connection.
Ticket prices vary depending on the level of access guests choose. Standard packages for the weekend reportedly cost around $1,800, while premium tiers reportedly cost significantly more. Organizers claim those who purchase the highest-tier tickets will receive perks such as preferred seating at the gala dinner and a group photo opportunity with Markle.
The event comes as Markle continues to explore new professional opportunities in the lifestyle and wellness space. “Events like this are incredibly profitable,” the source alleged, adding that Markle “can command huge speaking fees.”
Prince Harry is also reportedly expected to join Markle during the visit to Australia. However, sources claim their children will remain in California. For Markle, the source suggested, the retreat is more than just a speaking engagement. “For Meghan, this trip is equal parts business and branding,” the insider alleged.
