resurface<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Meghan Markle has landed in trouble again over her upcoming Sydney lifestyle retreat as controversy has emerged over online comments about Kate Middleton.<\/p>\n<p>The Duchess of Sussex is set to host a &#8220;Her Best Life retreat&#8221; in Australia to promote her lifestyle brand As Ever, but attention has turned to social media posts from some self-identified attendees. <\/p>\n<p>An insider told a US-based entertainment site that some of the individuals who previously shared scandalous claims about the Princess of Wales&#8217;s cancer diagnosis were fake.  <\/p>\n<p>A source told the publication, &#8220;The concern isn&#8217;t really about the concept of the event \u2013 \u200b\u200bon paper, it&#8217;s a fairly typical high-end lifestyle retreat.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is troubling people is that now people are publicly associating themselves with it and claiming to be part of the guest list. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut when someone, even slightly associated with the event, has a track record of promoting deeply offensive and unfounded claims \u2013 especially something as serious as questioning a cancer diagnosis \u2013 then it changes the way the entire project is viewed. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt ceases to be just a wellness or branding exercise and starts attracting a very different kind of attention.<\/p>\n<p>The source said such an engagement could \u201cquickly eclipse\u201d Meghan\u2019s schedule, even if there is \u201cno direct connection with Meghan or any support from her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The optics alone are enough to raise questions and create uneasiness about what was supposed to be a positive, aspirational experience,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script
