    Rent Crisis Hits New Low & Harry & Meghan’s Not-So-Royal Aussie Tour Explained

    Eight years ago, they were the world’s most famous newlyweds visiting our shores as senior working royals. This week, Harry and Meghan have touched down in Australia for a four-day visit that looks very different. From charitable engagements to a high-priced wellness retreat; the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are walking a fine line between charity and commerce. But with reports that Aussie taxpayers are footing a hefty security bill despite the trip being 'private', is the public sentiment starting to sour? We're joined by Mamamia Out Loud host and royal expert Holly Wainwright to decode the 'quasi-royal' tour, the impending arrival of Meghan’s lifestyle brand As Ever, and whether Australians actually care about the ex-royals anymore. 🗞️ HEADLINES Israel and Lebanon have held first face-to-face peace talks since 1993  Australian rents are rising at their fastest pace in years, with prices jumping 2.1% in 2026 A 4.5-magnitude earthquake struck near Orange in central-west NSW Walt Disney’s new CEO, Josh D'Amaro, has announced he is cutting about 1,000 jobs Taylor Swift is set to break her own record at the 2026 American Music Awards  📩 GET IN TOUCH Got a story, news tip-off, feedback or dilemma?
