Critics label Harry and Meghan's Australia trip 'trash for cash' despite royal denial

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s four-day Australia tour has been derided by commentators as a money‑making publicity drive, with paid events and media tie‑ins (including Meghan’s As Ever venture and MasterChef appearance) cited as evidence; the couple deny the charge, saying the trip is not a publicity tour and is rooted in their ongoing charitable work, with privately funded engagements, though questions about security costs remain.
