The Duchess of Sussex will be the star attraction at a women-only event in Sydney during a number of engagements in Australia next month.

Meghan will be interviewed on stage at the event in April during her trip with the Duke of Sussex.

Her appearance was announced by Gemma O’Neill, host of the Her Best Life podcast which is organising the 300-person event with tickets starting at £1,440.

Ms O’Neill, who described the three-day event at a beachside hotel as “the ultimate girls weekend”, said: “I have admired this woman (Meghan) and what she has endured, how she’s risen above it and how she has demonstrated how a woman can be pushed down and she can still rise.”

A spokesperson for the Sussexes said: “Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will visit Australia to take part in a number of private, business and philanthropic engagements.

“Further details will be shared in due course.”
