New footage is undercutting claims that Prince Harry abruptly walked out on Meghan Markle during her appearance at a women’s wellness retreat in Australia.

The resurfaced clip shows the Duke of Sussex remaining present and engaged, contradicting earlier reports that painted the moment as a public snub.

The clarification follows renewed scrutiny of Harry over past remarks about stepping away from royal life, and amid fresh speculation about the couple’s evolving relationship with the monarchy.

New Footage Shows Prince Harry Didn’t Leave Meghan On Stage

Claims that Harry left Markle mid-event are now being challenged after new footage surfaced from their Australia appearance. Multiple reports had suggested the Duke exited before his wife wrapped her speech at a high-profile women’s retreat, leaving her alone on stage.

However, uncut footage from the event shows a different sequence of events. In the video, the Prince is seen walking Markle onto the stage at the start of her engagement, then returning once she wraps up to escort her off, before the pair exit together.

Did Harry And Meghan Make Money From The Trip?

Although Harry and Markle framed their Australia visit around mental health and other similar initiatives, questions have emerged about whether the trip also came with financial incentives.

According to The Times, Meghan was reportedly paid around £120,000 for her 90-minute appearance at the women’s retreat and an undisclosed amount for appearing on “MasterChef Australia.” Separate reports also claimed Harry received a $50,000 fee for speaking at the InterEdge Summit in Melbourne.

However, those claims have been disputed. Per the BBC, sources said Harry did not receive payment for his mental health speech, and Meghan was also not paid for her “MasterChef” appearance

Prince Harry And Meghan Made Telling Comments

During their Australia trip, Harry and Markle also offered deeply personal reflections on how past experiences have shaped their lives, particularly when it comes to mental health.

The Duchess appeared at a mental health program where she spoke candidly about the impact of online abuse. She said she had been the “most trolled person” in the world over the past decade, describing years of intense scrutiny, bullying, and attacks.

Harry, meanwhile, opened up about the lasting toll of losing his mother, Princess Diana, calling the grief “disorienting” and admitting it shaped how he viewed royal life from a young age.

Harry Labeled ‘Toxic’ For His Comment

Harry’s remarks about rejecting royal life in the years after his mother’s death drew criticism on social media, with some questioning how they square with his past efforts to remain partly within The Firm.

Several social media users branded the Duke “toxic,” pointing to what they saw as a contradiction in his stance. “Yet he was so adamant on staying in the institution and wanted to be half in, half out,” one Instagram user wrote.

Others took a harsher view. “He has become like his wife: me, me, me, me, me,” one commenter said, while another added, “And yet he clings to all things royal.”

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Eye More Tours After Australia

Harry and Markle’s Australia visit is already being framed as a model for what comes next, with some observers likening it to a royal-style tour, despite it not being formally sanctioned.

The trip, which blended charity appearances with high-profile engagements, has been widely described as a success and is now being positioned as a possible template for future outings.

“We’ve tested the playbook [and] it worked,” a source close to the couple told The Telegraph. “They’re doing the right thing… This week has given reassurance that it’s the right course of action. This could absolutely act as a blueprint for the future.”

Ahead of the trip, there had been suggestions that locals were unsure what to make of the couple’s visit. But their reception on the ground appeared to tell a different story, with strong turnout and engagement throughout their appearances.

“One thing that Harry often says is that the truth will always come out,” another source told the outlet. “The more they do this, the more people see them, interact with them, the more it becomes clear there isn’t an agenda here.”
