Meghan Markle’s upcoming luxury women’s retreat in Australia has been targeted by trolls making security threats.
Markle is headlining the three-day event taking place April 17-19 in Sydney, which will focus on “powerful conversations, relaxation, laughter and unforgettable experiences.”
But online trolls have threatened to attend the event with negative intentions.
“Just in case if Meghan Markle didn’t despise me enough she’s about to HATE ME even more I hatched a plan with a friend who lives in Sydney to attend the best life weekend, they have been accepted & has a spot secured Good luck figuring out who it is, Meghan,” one X comment reads.
The user also hinted at secretly recording the event, according to the Daily Mail, writing, “There are button cameras, meta glasses, we got all the bases covered. Now that they’ve been accepted. Let the games begin!!!”
But some users speculated that security threats circulating on social media would be an “excuse” to cancel the retreat, which has raised eyebrows due to its high prices.
The cost to attend the retreat ranges from $1,930 (for the early bird special) to over $3,199 for the VIP experience.
“The security risk could be used as an excuse to pull the whole thing. A cover for the fact that there are hundreds of tickets unsold,” one user speculated. “A cover for the lie that it was all sold out immediately. Not enough people want to pay ridiculous money for a short photo op with their quean [sic].”
Another comment reads, “Anyone paying expensive price for weekend retreat should be allowed to record the events, take photos of their own. M*ghan M*rkle trying to control every thing again. This event will fail.”
The highlight of the weekend retreat is a gala dinner, which is billed as an “in-person conversation” with Markle, 44.
VIP guests will be allowed to partake in a group photo with the Duchess of Sussex and will also receive a goodie bag plus access to an ocean-view hotel room.
Security concerns have always been a pressing issue for Markle and her husband, Prince Harry.
The couple was stripped of their security privileges in the UK after they stepped down from their royal duties in 2020 and moved to US.
The lack of protection has prevented Harry from traveling to England with Markle and their two kids — Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.
The “Spare” author claimed in 2022 that he “does not feel safe” in the UK because his family had allegedly “been subjected to well-documented neo-Nazi and extremist threats.”
