Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are called out for their royalty engagements during Australia tour.<\/p>\n
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are currently in Australia for their business and philanthropic endeavours, have shocked a royal expert as they create a four day itinerary mirroring typical royal engagements.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the couple, royal expert Emily Andrews writes for Woman & Home: \u201cInitially I was told by their people that this was NOT a tour; rather a series of ‘private business meetings’, looking at ‘potential supply partners and chains’ for Meghan’s As Ever brand with ‘not much media’.<\/p>\n
She adds: \u201cWhen I asked if Harry was even going to do anything (aside from a corporate speaking engagement at a mental health summit), we both joked that he could do some surfing or maybe something with Invictus. So imagine my surprise, when I was sent their four day public itinerary last week, to see it looked like a carbon copy of the royal tour playbook.<\/p>\n
Emily continues: \u201cEngagements such as visiting Canberra’s national war memorial complete with last post ceremony, a children’s hospital, a women’s refuge, sailing around Sydney harbour and watching a rugby match easily tick off a royal tour bingo full house.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI wondered why they’ve suddenly decided to do so many royal-type public engagements.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs it in the quest for more (and frankly better than they’ve had recently) PR?\u201d questions Emily.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
