Meghan Markle has launched paid retreats with her participation.
Following the termination of her As Ever brand's contract with Netflix, Meghan Markle decided to seek new sources of income. For example, the Duchess of Sussex became a guest star in a retreat hosted by Her Best Life podcast host Gemma O'Neill. Markle's participation in the yoga bachelorette party was announced via an announcement on the project's website.
The event is billed as "the perfect girls' weekend." Packages range from $1,876 to $2,278. During these two days at the five-star InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach hotel, participants will be able to practice sunrise yoga, join sound therapy sessions, meditation, and wish-fulfillment practices. All with Meghan Markle.
According to the project's organizer, Markle offered to participate. Gemma didn't agree right away, but O'Neill ultimately decided her audience "deserved it." So now Meghan Markle will attend the bachelorette party as a guest star. The Duchess of Sussex is scheduled to give a speech at the gala dinner and pose for photos with VIP guests.
This news predictably led many online to speculate that Meghan is trying to improve her family's fortunes with this project. After all, it was recently revealed that Netflix had terminated its partnership with Meghan's company, As Ever. The producers deemed the brand, under which the Duchess produces household goods and food, unattractive for sale at the platform's brick-and-mortar locations.
In the six years since moving from the UK, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have lost all the contracts that were supposed to provide them with financial stability in the US. Even Markle's Netflix cooking show, "With Love, Meghan," was canceled after devastating reviews from viewers (Meghan was criticized for being out of touch with reality at the time). So now the couple can only rely on the success of their company, As Ever.
