The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have quietly slipped out of Sydney.
The couple left the Intercontinental Coogee Beach early this morning – before attendees at the Her Best Life retreat, an event in the same hotel where women had forked out $3,200 to spend time with Meghan – had even begun their breakfast and yoga class.
Meghan spent just two hours at the retreat on Friday night, where she posed for group selfies with select VIP guests and participated in a Q&A with Her Best Life podcaster Gemma O’Neill.
She told the private audience that her experience in the public eye had been ‘very difficult’ but that people’s criticism of her had to do with their own ‘projections’.
The 44-year-old said the last decade, during which she celebrated happy moments such as her wedding and the birth of her two children, had been tainted by the vicious attacks.
Meghan, who has daughter Lilibet and son Archie, said motherhood had taught her to have perspective and patience, something she needed, ‘given what our life is like’.
She then joined Prince Harry at a NSW Waratahs versus Pasifika Moana rugby union match at Allianz Stadium.
Despite Meghan’s short appearance, retreat participants gushed on social media that Gemma’s chat with the duchess was ‘incredible – so much kindness from Meghan’. Another said she had ‘goosebumps’.
High-profile guests included radio queens Jackie O Henderson and Carrie Bickmore, along with reality tv star Megan Towner.
Prince Harry and Meghan’s Canadian best mate Markus Anderson, who is also friends with Gemma, were also in the room.
On Saturday morning, the group was due to enjoy an optional yoga class at 7.45am before ‘easing into the day’ with a buffet breakfast.
