Leaked itinerary for Meghan Markle’s ‘Her Best Life’ retreat reveals how involved the star attraction REALLY is – and the surprising dress code: See the document guests have just been sent

DAY 1: Friday April 17

From 3:00pm

Arrive at the hotel, check in, and settle into your room at your own pace. Enjoy a welcome drink at Shutters Bar and collect your registration pack on arrival.

If you arrive prior to 3pm, your room may be ready earlier, however this cannot be guaranteed. Feel free to explore the beaches and local life in Coogee.

Please ensure you have photo ID & your physical credit card for hotel check in to cover any incidentals.

Please also note that only registered and paid Her Best Life Retreat attendees will be allowed entry to the hotel for the duration of the retreat.

Much like our previous events, and in keeping with our usual policy, this is a strict no phones, no recording moment for the duration of the interview.

We promise it’s worth it – this is about being fully present, soaking it all in, and it’s also a non-negotiable security requirement. Phones away, eyes up, and enjoy the magic!

Don’t worry! There will be a dedicated moment at the end where you can take out your phones and capture a photo of Gemma with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex on stage.’

4:00-5:00pm

Join us in the Grand Ballroom pre-function area for bubbles & canapés – a chance to connect, mingle and ease into the weekend.
