Meghan Markle is inviting fans to join her for an exclusive women’s retreat in Australia next month, offering what organizers describe as a weekend filled with inspiration, conversation and connection.
The Duchess of Sussex will appear at the “Her Best Life” retreat in Sydney from April 17 to April 19, where attendees can participate in panel discussions, special events and a gala dinner featuring Markle herself.
Tickets for the event reach $2,288 for VIP access, while early-bird passes are priced slightly lower at just under $2,000.
The retreat will take place at the InterContinental Hotel in Coogee Beach, a luxury seaside property overlooking Sydney’s coastline.
Organizers say the event is designed as a women-focused weekend centered on empowerment and personal growth.
“If you’ve ever wanted a weekend away that fills your cup and reminds you how powerful women are when we come together… this is it,” reads promotional text shared on Markle’s Instagram.
“Bring your bestie, come solo, or gather your girls — we cannot wait to see you there.”
One of the main highlights will be a gala dinner conversation with Markle, where she will take part in an onstage discussion and pose for a group photo with attendees.
Guests who purchase VIP tickets will also receive exclusive gift bags as part of the experience.
The retreat is hosted by Australian podcasters Jackie “JackieO” Henderson and Gemma O’Neill, who will conduct the conversation with Markle during the event.
O’Neill shared her excitement about the upcoming appearance in a statement to Hello! magazine.
“I know what you’re all thinking, because I’m thinking the same thing,” she said. “How has Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, this incredible woman, gone from Oprah to talking on stage with just little old me, Gemma in Sydney?”
The event is intentionally limited to 300 attendees, creating what organizers say will be a more intimate setting for participants.
Markle is expected to travel to Australia with Prince Harry, marking the couple’s first return to the country since their 2018 royal tour, when they announced that Markle was pregnant with their first child, Archie.
Their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are not expected to join the trip.
