A supporter of Meghan Markle, who has secured VIP access to the Duchess of Sussex's wellness event in April, has previously faced criticism for posts that some social media users described as conspiracy theories about Catherine, Princess of Wales.

The fan, whose X handle is @ZandiSussex and has 17,200 followers at the time of writing, admitted on social media that she has obtained a ticket to "Her Best Life Retreat", hosted by radio personality Jackie 'O' Henderson and her manager, Gemma O'Neill.

The wellness event is taking place between April 17 and April 19, and will feature a special Q&A with Meghan.

On March 24, @ZandiSussex confirmed she had secured a ticket, writing on X: "Drumroll please! I’m so excited to share that I got a ticket to the Girls’ Weekend with Meghan!!!

"Yes, I’ll be inside and will make sure to bring you updates. AND I went VIP so our table gets a photo with Meghan. Let’s go!"

The three-day event at InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach carries a price tag of $3,000 (£1,559) per attendee.

It will take place during Prince Harry and Meghan's highly-anticipated trip to Sydney and Melbourne next month, the couple's first Australian visit since 2018.

However, @ZandiSussex has faced backlash over posts that allegedly contained unsubstantiated claims about the Princess of Wales's whereabouts during her convalescence in 2024.

Catherine disclosed her cancer diagnosis in March 2024 following major abdominal surgery, subsequently underwent preventative chemotherapy, and announced her remission in January 2025.

There is no evidence that the Duchess of Sussex was aware that this social media user shared posts about Catherine, nor that Meghan had any say in the selection process for the attendees.

GB News has contacted the Duchess of Sussex's representatives for comment, as well as retreat organiser Ms O'Neill.

Two other high-profile supporters of Meghan have publicly confirmed their upcoming attendance at the Sydney retreat.

X user @KerryLy4 said she was "pinching herself" after obtaining a ticket and has offered to compile messages from supporters into a book for Meghan.

This specific fan also shed light on the selection process for attendees, writing on social media: "We needed to write why we would like to attend. I got chosen."

A third attendee, @purplepanzee, posted: "Suck it up buttercups, we got a ticket."
