Meghan Markle's Australian tour

Meghan Markle's Australian tour

Despite the 'half-in, half-out' royal model being officially rejected by the late Queen, the Sussexes have successfully leveraged their brand for a mix of philanthropy and influencing.

Meghan's wardrobe for the trip was estimated at over £57,000, with several outfits immediately made available for purchase online through affiliate links.

The couple met with first responders at Bondi Beach and spoke to students about the pressures of online trolling.

While supporters hailed the tour as a success, royal commentators noted the stark difference in approach between Meghan and the Princess of Wales.
