Overview
- Meghan Markle recorded a short video for a bride named Ellie during a stop at Sydney’s Bondi Surf Bathers’ Life Saving Club on the Sussexes’ four-day Australia trip.
- In the clip she told the couple to enjoy the wedding but focus on the marriage, and the fan-shot video was widely reposted and aired on the Today show.
- The Bondi visit centered on meeting lifesavers and survivors of the December 2025 beach terror attack, giving the setting added sensitivity.
- After the clip spread, the AI fashion app OneOff listed Meghan’s Bondi outfit with shopping links, drawing criticism over profiting from a solemn engagement.
- OneOff later swapped an image of Harry and Meghan on the beach for a solo photo of Meghan off the sand, and her As Ever brand separately updated a Mother’s Day candle page to remove references to her children’s royal titles.
