Prince Harry has received surprise news from Australia ahead of his arrival in the country, where King Charles is head of state.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who stepped back as senior royals in 2020, have made a bold decison, which might leave the royal family and King Charles worried amid growing campaign against the monarchy.

In the latest setback to the Duke, Melbourne Conference has slashed ticket prices of Harry’s keynote address.

King Charles III’s youngest son, Harry, is scheduled to give an address about workplace mental health at Melbourne’s InterEdge Summit on April 16.

The event has now started selling tickets at a massive discount as the days tick closer. The onganisers issued new, much cheaper tickets to hear the Duke speak.

New tickets are said to be 50 percent cheaper than the previous price have been released for the Duke’s speaking engagement.

The move indicates as the people are less interested in listening the Duke.

Some alleged that the teh 41-year-old’s attempt to cash in as a conference speaker in Australia is turning out to be a setback, as tickets for the event are now going for half the initial price.

It emerges amid reports that there’s a petition going around in the country with over 39,000 signatures, questioning why taxpayers should fund their security and logistics when they’re visiting privately.

As per details, attendees can purchase the “Delegate” package for $997.00 or participate virtually for $498. Previously, only the pricey $2,378 Platinum and $1,978 Gold packages were available to prospective guests for the two-day event.

The Delegate option is more than 50 percent off the Gold package price and still includes access to all seminars and speeches, as well as the “Conference Hospitality Package,” which includes morning tea, stand-up lunch stations, afternoon tea, and coffee and tea stations.

Harry has rebranded himself as a digital safety crusader after struggling to gain traction in Hollywood. The Duke will grace the conference as a figure who “has dedicated his life to service and uplifting communities.

He will emphasise the importance of our collective mental health in his philanthropic and advocacy work globally.

The ex-royal most recently popped up on the speaking circuit at the 2026 International Association of Privacy Professionals Global Privacy Summit in Washington, D.C., for which he reportedly “earned a paltry $50,000”.

According to claims, it was quite a comedown compared to the $1million speech price Harry and Markle had hoped he’d pull in when they arrived in the U.S. in 2020 after quitting the royal family.

Katy Perry just gave fans another peek into her headline-making romance with Justin Trudeau – and yes, people noticed.

In a chaotic-in-a-fun-way Instagram carousel, Perry mixed glam shots, tour moments, a beach bike ride, random greens… and casually slipped in a photo of Trudeau. Subtle? Not even a little.

“Never knew karma could be so rewarding,” she captioned the post — which, naturally, sent fans into full detective mode.

By December 2025, things were Instagram official – and since then, it’s been a mix of long-distance flights, packed schedules and, apparently, a lot of effort.

“They travel whenever they can to spend time together. The long-distance dynamic was never a surprise to them,” a source shared, adding that both are focused on keeping things steady for their families.

Not exactly your average couple logistics.

Still it seems to be working. Trudeau even popped up during Perry’s Lifetimes Tour, proving he’s not afraid of a little backstage life.

“She fell for him early on because he really showed that he was interested,” the insider added.

And if things ever get too serious? They joke it off. Case in point: Perry’s recent post asking, “How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?” — alongside their “biological age” test results.

Love, but make it science experiment.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could possibly have found a way to return to the royal fold as Queen Elizabeth II’s heart-breaking request surfaces.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex left their senior royal positions in 2020 and held grievances over how they were treated compared to the other members of the family. Even though the Queen insisted that “recollections may vary”, she still held the door open for the Sussexes, especially for her great-grandchildren Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

New details about the matriarch’s final days were revealed in forthcoming book by royal author Robert Hardman, which pulls the curtain over Elizabeth’s heartfelt request and clear message for her grandchildren.

Before she breathed her last in Balmoral in the September of 2022, Elizabeth was already feeling “too tired” for many of the engagements given her ongoing treatments. Hence, she had been saving it for one last reunion with her beloved despite the simmering rifts.

One of the officials revealed that Elizabeth was “so brave” during her final days and before leaving for Edinburgh, she held last round of audiences and a Privy Council meeting.

“We had a private chat at the end of it,” one insider from the meeting said. “I felt a bit emotional when I left because, well, it just felt to me like a goodbye.”

They continued, “She had some very clear messages about how she thought things would go in the future. Very clear, indeed!”

The source revealed that all of Queen’s great-grandchildren – including the Sussex children along with William and Kate’s three children – were invited to Balmoral at some point in the summer.

“She wanted to make sure that they all had a really happy memory of her,” a family friend said. However, the late Queen somehow knew that Harry and Meghan would not be able to make it.

This could potentially mean that there was a way back for the Sussexes if they had taken a chance at the time. King Charles could be following his mother’s last wishes alongside his own longing to meet his grandchildren as descalations between Buckingham Palace and Montecito are reportedly carried out.

Meanwhile, it also remains to be seen how the situation pans out for the grandchildren of the King.
