Meghan Markle‘s return to Australia is generating buzz over the alleged rules she has set for her husband, Prince Harry.
The former senior royal is said to have joined his wife on what is being described as her Aussie tour, and he is expected to avoid contact with former partners and stick to a curfew.
Prince Harry and Meghan kicked off the trip with a visit to Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital, and will attend various charity engagements as well as public and private events throughout their stay.
Meghan Markle is currently on tour in Australia, with the visit marking her first time in the country in eight years.
She is joined by her husband, Prince Harry, which is not surprising, as the couple has often accompanied each other to events, including international trips. However, this recent tour is said to come with the twist of Harry allegedly being given strict rules to follow while in the country.
One of the alleged rules is that he is not to have any unintentional contact with former female associates, including Natalie Imbruglia, a singer and songwriter he was once rumored to have dated.
“Meghan’s drawn a hard line on making sure there are no ‘accidental run-ins’ with [Harry’s] rumoured Aussie exes, including Natalie Imbruglia,” an anonymous source informed Woman’s Day.
During the Aussie tour, Meghan also wants the Prince to be “low-key proud husband mode,” especially as he recently courted controversy over his past flirty messages to a reporter becoming public in a court matter.
The Duchess Reportedly Imposed A Curfew On Her Husband
While in Australia, Meghan also expects Harry to restrict his movements. According to the source, the mother-of-two has placed a “non-negotiable” curfew on the Prince as she feels he might act out of character during nights out.
“There’s no denying he has a terrible track record when it comes to his judgment once the drinks are flowing, so this comes down to Meghan feeling he needs to be on a tight leash,” shared the source.
Despite the reported conditions, Harry is still believed to have some freedom to socialize with friends, as long as his interactions do not attract negative attention or scandal.
“[Meghan] is fine with that as long as it’s limited to a civilized dinner and a glass or two of wine,” added the insider.
Meghan Markle Requested Tighter Security For Her Luxury Women’s Retreat
Meghan is also said to have demands for herself, beginning with heightened security for the entire length of the tour.
“Security is tight for the entire tour, but especially the women’s retreat – after trolls vowed to disrupt and secretly record the event, which has a strict no-cameras policy and a social media ban,” an unnamed source claimed.
“In fact, Meghan’s demanded even tighter controls, in addition to the professional security they’ve funded,” they added.
The Duchess reportedly also kept tight control over the media activities, including not spotlighting anyone who would take the attention from her and her As Ever brand.
“The duchess didn’t want anyone interviewing her who could potentially steal away the spotlight,” the source alleged.
They added that the “focus of this tour should be 100 percent on As Ever and her and Harry’s philanthropic work.”
