Meghan’ Markles Sydney Retreat Leaves Fans in Tears

About this episode

The episode discusses Meghan Markle's emotional impact at her Sydney wellness retreat and the subsequent criticisms faced by her and Prince Harry.

Attendees at Meghan Markle’s Sydney wellness retreat say the Duchess won over a doubtful crowd, with some describing an emotional room moved to tears by her comments on online abuse and family life. But as the Australia trip comes to a close, fresh criticism follows — from questions over Prince Harry’s abrupt exit, to new attacks on the couple’s commercial strategy, to a dispute over embargoed tour details and security concerns. Back home in California, Meghan shares a “Welcome Home” moment with Archie and Lilibet as the fallout from the tour continues.
