Prince Harry Talks Fatherhood and Therapy on Aussie Trip

Harry and Meghan spent four days in Australia, taking a break from their hectic lives.
The Duke of Sussex took the time to speak at a Melbourne football club, sharing his journey as a new father and how therapy has helped him connect more deeply with Archie and Lilibet. He admitted that, at one point, he felt distant from his children because Meghan was the primary caregiver. “Therapy is a way to become a better parent and let go of past issues,” he said.

Family in the Spotlight

• Archie and Lilibet stayed home during the trip.
• The couple moved to the U.S. in 2020, leaving the royal family behind to escape constant media scrutiny.
• Their last Australian visit was in 2018, when Meghan announced her first pregnancy in Sydney.

Public Reaction

• Positive: Many locals and parents welcomed the royals at a hospital, expressing hope and support.
• Critical: Others called the visit an unnecessary celebrity intrusion that overlooked pressing local matters. A petition with over 45,000 signatures demanded that public funds not be used for security.

Meghan’s Wellness Retreat

• Meghan will run a wellness retreat at a luxury beach hotel, featuring yoga, manifestation practices, and sound healing.
• Tickets start at A$2,699.
• Unlike previous trips, the Sussexes plan to engage in commercial work while in Australia.
