Royal Disappointment: Irwins Choose Crown
20 Apr
Summary
- Meghan Markle was reportedly disappointed by the Irwins' refusal to meet.
- The Irwins cited their loyalty to the monarchy as their reason.
- Meghan's retreat gift bags contained affordable items under $200.
Meghan Markle reportedly experienced disappointment during her recent Australian tour as the Irwin family declined an invitation to meet with her and Prince Harry. Sources suggest the Duchess of Sussex had hoped to connect with conservationist Robert Irwin and his family at Australia Zoo.
However, the Irwins are said to have politely refused the meeting due to their staunch monarchist views and loyalty to the Royal Family. Robert Irwin's ambassadorial role for Prince William's Earthshot Prize was also a factor, reportedly influencing his decision to avoid any perceived alignment with the Sussexes.
Separately, attendees of Meghan Markle's 'Her Best Life' retreat in Sydney, which commanded high ticket prices of up to $3,199, received gift bags valued at just under $200. These bags contained a mix of affordable wellness and supermarket items, including edible flowers, lip butter glaze, candles, and sweets, rather than premium products.
