Description

Royal commentator and host of @thevintageread Shauna Kay joins NewsNation’s royal and entertainment expert @PaulaFroelich for a candid deep dive into Prince Harry and Meghan’s upcoming Australia tour. With ticket sales lagging, an influencer blackout and no A-listers publicly backing the Sydney “Besties” wellness event, the contrast with Gwyneth Paltrow’s sold-out Sydney tour couldn’t be starker. The discussion also covers the couple’s visa situation, whether they’ll stop at Bondi Beach — and why that could backfire — Meghan’s rumored mommy blogger rebrand, and what King Charles’ latest U-turn on Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie says about the state of the royal family.

Why the hell would us Aussies buy cleanskin wines? We produce some of the world’s best wines. Why would we buy her manufactured spreads and honey? We produce some of the world’s best fruit (to make real jam) and honey. Why would we buy her candles? We produce some of the world’s best candles that come with complimentary wicks. And the list goes on!!

For someone who jets around the world speaking on the importance of caring for one’s mental health, Harry does not seem to do anything to care for his own mental health. Harry is the one who needs a therapist.

He is a traitor in every way, to his country, his family and the veterans. I am SICK of him trading on his so called military service, as if he was ever in any danger at all, he was guarded by SAS soldiers the whole time, what a joke.

It would be the most disrespectful act if they showed up at Bondi Beach, and stay away from our Veterans. Australia has wonderful wines, JAMS etc - we dont need your wares Rachel, we prefer to support our own producers.

Whoever from Lifeline thought Harry was a good idea needs to slap themselves and apologise.
