Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to 'go separate ways' during Australia trip

-

 As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle prepare for their highly anticipated return to Australia in mid-April 2026, new details suggest the couple will indeed be "going separate ways"—not in their relationship, but in their professional itineraries.

While the trip is a joint venture, their schedules in Sydney and Melbourne are designed to showcase their individual brands and philanthropic priorities.

The "Separate Ways" Itinerary

For the first time since their 2018 royal tour, the Sussexes are dividing and conquering to cover more ground as private citizens.

  • Meghan’s "Girls' Weekend": The Duchess is set to headline a luxury wellness retreat in Sydney from April 17–19. Hosted by the Her Best Life podcast at the InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach, the event is being billed as "a girls' weekend like no other." Meghan will lead an "in-person conversation" on women's empowerment, mental health, and resilience, culminating in a glamorous gala dinner.

  • Harry’s "Psychological Safety" Summit: While Meghan is in Sydney, the Duke will be in Melbourne on April 15–16.   He is scheduled as a keynote speaker for the InterEdge Psychosocial Safety Summit, where he will join mental health experts to discuss workplace burnout and the importance of psychological safety.

Business vs. Philanthropy


The trip isn't just about speaking engagements; it’s a strategic move for their independent ventures:

  1. Global Expansion: Meghan is reportedly using the trip to scout the Australian market for her lifestyle brand, As Ever, following her recent split from Netflix’s investment partnership.

  2. Military Ties: Harry is expected to reunite with the Australian Defence Force, continuing the work he began during his 2015 secondment in Darwin and his ongoing commitment to the Invictus Games.

  3. The "Sussex Strategy": Experts are calling this "separate ways" approach a "new strategy" to establish them as individual power players while maintaining a united front for high-profile joint appearances.

The Contrast of 2026

The 2026 visit stands in sharp contrast to their 2018 tour.

A "Solo" Preparation

Meghan has already begun her "charity warmup" for the trip. On Thursday, March 12, she made a surprise solo visit to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.   Participating in the "Make March Matter" campaign, she led a watercolor painting session for young patients—a move seen by many as a clear signal of the "hands-on" humanitarian style she plans to bring to Australia.

Prince Andrew’s ‘Rude’ Comment About Princess Kate That ‘Sent William Over the Edge’

A Family Rift Reignited Behind Palace Doors Tensions within the royal family are nothing new, but one incident involving Prince Andrew and Princess Kate reportedly left Prince William furious — and drove yet another wedge between the already fractured family. According to royal insiders, Andrew once made a rude and dismissive comment about the Princess of Wales that “sent William over the edge,” deepening the quiet resentment that has long simmered between the two men. The Comment That Sparked Outrage The exact remark has not been officially confirmed, but palace sources allege that Andrew’s tone and attitude toward Kate during a private family gathering were “deeply disrespectful.” A royal insider revealed, “Andrew made a comment that was not only rude but incredibly inappropriate given Kate’s status and reputation. William was livid. He sees his wife as the foundation of his family and the future Queen — and any slight against her is a slight against him.” The remark re...

A Stroll, A Smile, and A Splash of Tweed: The Royal Walkabout Done Properly

 A Stroll, A Smile, and A Splash of Tweed: The Royal Walkabout Done Properly here they were – two of Britain’s most famous walkers. No, not ramblers from the Lake District, but the Duke and Duchess themselves, out for what looked like a brisk countryside strut. Dressed like they’d just stepped out of a catalogue called Country Chic for People Who Don’t Actually Muck Out Stables , they managed to look both casual and royally polished. Prince William sported a sturdy khaki jacket with more pockets than a camping shop. Perfect for storing royal essentials: car keys, a phone, and perhaps a spare crown jewel or two (just in case). Kate, meanwhile, brought her A-game in a quilted number that whispered, “I can both open a village fête and win at clay pigeon shooting – all before lunch.” The pair wore red poppies pinned to their coats – a subtle reminder that while they might be smiling and chatting, their outing carried meaning and respect. And yet, one couldn’t help noticing that their...
