00:00Meghan Markle and Prince Harry touched back down in the U.S. on Sunday following their nearly
00:06week-long tour in Australia. But we are still getting a lot of new information about the
00:13couple's trip overseas, and not all of it is that positive. But we're going to start out on a very
00:20entertaining note. For those of you who are chronically online like myself, you may well
00:25be aware of the so-called Unbothered Queen, who has taken social media by storm after
00:32a video emerged of her happily sunbathing on a beach while Meghan, Harry and a crew of
00:39lifeguards strolled around her. Now, Meghan and Harry made a surprise trip to Bondi Beach
00:45on the last day of their trip in Australia, and they were joined by a host of lifeguards.
00:51They then proceeded to tour the stunning scenery along the beach, and while most people moved
00:57themselves out of the way of this oncoming crew of people, one lady decided that she was
01:03going to allow them to move around her rather than the other way around. The video shows
01:08her lounging on the sand on a towel while Harry, Meghan and their entire band of merry men have
01:14to part like the Red Sea to move around her as she continues to sunbathe. Social media users
01:20have been up in arms about this clip, praising the woman for refusing to interrupt her nice
01:27lounging time in order to make way for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. She has been praised
01:32as an unbothered queen, as an icon of our time, and in my opinion, someone who quite frankly
01:39probably couldn't be bothered to get up because that's how I feel a lot of the time. Now, Harry
01:44and Meghan touched back down in the U.S. on Sunday, and Meghan did share a short clip of
01:49their arrival at their Montecito mansion on her Instagram stories, where she revealed
01:53that her children, Archie and Lilibet, had put up a very sweet welcome home banner over
01:58the front door as a surprise to their parents on their return. Meghan also shared a brief glimpse
02:04at the many goodies that the people of Australia gave her to pass on to Archie and Lilibet, including
02:11a number of cards, books, and of course, plenty of Australian candy. Now, another slightly more
02:19controversial detail to emerge from Meghan and Harry's tour was the mother of two's sudden
02:25appearance on a fashion platform called One Off. This platform is touted as being the place
02:32where tastemakers share upcoming trends, must-have fashion items, and places that you can shop
02:38their looks. Meghan has come under some fairly fierce criticism for her involvement in this
02:45platform, largely because she chose to launch her appearance on it while she was taking part
02:50in several charitable engagements in Australia. The first few images of Meghan that were featured
02:56on the platform included her showing off the outfits that she wore on her Australia tour,
03:02but some have found this in very poor taste, noting that she appears to be using her appearances
03:07at places like children's hospitals and mental health charities in order to sell clothes. Meghan
03:14is also an investor in this platform, which some have said means she will be taking a cut of any
03:20sales
03:20that are made. Now, royal experts revealed that those who knew and loved the Queen have said that Her Majesty
03:28would have been up in arms about Meghan's decision to promote her personal fashions during what looked
03:34like, but wasn't, a royal tour. Now, if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. Meghan is
03:41in a bit
03:41of a damned if she does, damned if she doesn't situation, and the Australia tour was no different.
03:49During the trip, she hosted what was touted as a weekend retreat that many people dubbed Meg Stock,
03:55because they said that she was going to be actively leading this gathering of women who paid upwards of
04:03$3,000 a ticket to attend. However, it has since emerged that Meghan spent just two hours at the
04:11event, which has prompted some very ferocious criticism on social media, where users have
04:17questioned why the Duchess of Sussex couldn't at least have enjoyed a lunch with all of these women
04:22who paid a pretty fortune in order to spend time with her. Meghan did, however, take the opportunity
04:28to open up about her own life. She discussed her relationship with Harry, how much she loves being
04:34married and being a mother, and she also once again focused on the online criticism and bullying that
04:40she says she's faced for the last 10 years. Other than that, Meghan took the opportunity to pose
04:46for pictures with some of the attendees, but is then understood to have made a very hasty escape,
04:52which some people have found a little bit in poor taste. Now, this whole situation is made
04:58even messier by the fact that some reports have claimed Meghan was paid $150,000 to partake in this
05:06event, which, when you wrap all of the ticket prices into that hefty sum, means that she was effectively
05:13paid $75,000 an hour for her time. Gotta say, kind of wish I was earning Meghan's rate.
