Meghan Markle, who left her royal role with Prince Harry in 2020, has received support from a royal fan after critics criticized the Duchess of Sussex for an insensitive move during her four-day visit to Australia.
The mother of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet was invited as a special guest to a luxury girls’ retreat in Sydney. He sat down for a question-and-answer session where he spoke candidly about his experience in public life, describing it as “very tough.”
However, Meghan’s trip has not been without negative reactions for several things during the course of the tour. Some fans expressed that the getaway promised a “weekend of connection, inspiration and personal growth, with Meghan positioned as their featured guest,” but she left early on Saturday morning.
Social media was filled with comments criticizing her for leaving the event so early and not even having dinner with attendees, as she was supposed to do.
“Why didn’t Meghan Markle even share a meal with women who had paid $3,000 to spend ‘retreat’ time with her? How come?” wrote one user.
Others echoed the sentiment: “How ridiculous, they advertised like she was spending the entire weekend with them,” one said, while another commented: “2 hours? I thought it was a weekend retreat. WOW!”
In the midst of all this, entrepreneur and business owner Liliana Sanelli, who is also a fan of King Charles, shared kind words for Meghan.
“It’s not every day you can say you meet someone as beautiful as Meghan Markle,” he wrote. “This BFF weekend has been amazing so far to connect, bond and recalibrate with 300 dynamic women.”
She continued: “Hearing Meghan speak so openly, so authentically, and be so real has given me another perspective on powerful, insightful, strong women when they are truly real with themselves.
“Whatever your opinion, I must admit that I was impressed by his kind and caring energy. It was no nonsense… Just keeping it real.”
He noted that Harry was also in the room and that the two are “definitely beautiful as a couple and in love.”
