Radio host Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli and his wife Lisa smiled brightly alongside Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at the Nexus Summit in Sydney on Wednesday. The 46-year-old Nova presenter dressed sharply in a black blazer, light blue shirt, and tailored black trousers while standing with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Elegant Attire and Warm Encounters
Prince Harry embraced his modern style with a sleek black dress shirt and matching pants for the high-profile gathering. Meghan Markle and Lisa chose sophisticated gowns, beaming as they posed for official photos during the event.
Wipfli shared photos on social media, writing: ‘It was such an honour to meet Prince Harry and Meghan. They were so kind, warm and authentic.’
Laid-Back Approach During Australia Visit
Earlier this week, Meghan encouraged Australians to ‘call me Meg’ and disregard formal titles. The couple’s aides assured staff at a Melbourne children’s hospital that ‘Harry and Meghan is fine. They’re pretty relaxed’ when it comes to addressing them.
The visit follows interactions with young cancer patients in Melbourne, where Harry and Meghan received cheers and spent nearly 45 minutes chatting with children and parents. Meghan later served frittata at a women’s refuge, wearing heart earrings, Princess Diana’s Cartier watch, and a Tiffany gold bracelet. The pair then joined a family craft session at the National Veterans Arts Museum.
Australia’s first poet laureate for veterans, Steve Cotterill, asked upon their arrival: ‘How would you like me to address you?’ Harry replied with a smile, ‘However you like,’ as Meghan added, ‘Call me Meg.’
Busy Itinerary Across Australia
The couple arrived in Melbourne from Los Angeles on a business class flight without their children, Archie and Lilibet. Their schedule includes charity, business, and cultural events in Melbourne, Canberra, and Sydney. Details on payments for their commercial appearances remain undisclosed, though Meghan’s fee for a girls’ weekend beach retreat is reportedly around $250,000.
