Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, caused a stir with her demands for payment during a royal visit to Australia, according to a new book. As anticipation builds for the upcoming visit of King Charles and Queen Camilla to Australia, details have emerged about Meghan Markle’s previous trip to the country.
In 2018, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle embarked on a highly publicised tour of the South Pacific, which included stops in Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand. The tour lasted 16 days and saw the couple attend 76 engagements. This tour took place shortly after the announcement that Meghan was pregnant with their son, Prince Archie.
Despite the overwhelming support from the public and the large crowds that gathered to see them, a new book by Valentine Low reveals a different side to Meghan’s experience. According to the book, Meghan struggled to grasp the purpose of royal walkabouts and was overheard expressing disbelief at not being paid for the interactions with fans.
The book also claims that Meghan referred to the royal crowds as ‘silly’ when observing fans waiting outside the Sydney Opera House. As King Charles and Queen Camilla prepare for their visit to Australia, the Sydney Opera House is set to be illuminated in a grand welcome for the royal couple.
The revelations about Meghan’s views on royal duties have sparked discussions about the expectations and challenges faced by members of the royal family during public engagements. Stay tuned for updates on the royal visit and the public’s reaction to Meghan Markle’s candid comments.
