Meghan Markle allegedly complained she wasn’t getting paid for walkabouts during a royal visit to Australia, a new book claims. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex spent 16 days travelling around Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand on their first royal tour in 2018.
Huge crowds turned out to see the couple as they visited the countries with an impressive 76 engagements, the Mirror reports. A book written by The Times' royal correspondent Valentine Low claims that Meghan, who married Harry in May 2018, "enjoyed the attention" she received but did not understand the point of royal walkabouts.
Mr Low writes in Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown that the Duchess of Sussex showed a "refreshingly informal approach to royal visits" which was "a hit with the Australian public".
