Meghan Markle's headline appearance at the Her Best Life retreat in Sydney is just days away - and attendees now have access to the full itinerary of events planned for the weekend.
The entry price for this 'girls' weekend like no other' starts from $2,699 for a Standard ticket and $3,199 for a VIP pass.
Up until now, there had been intense secrecy surrounding the full weekend schedule and timings. Even the dress codes for various activities had been tightly under wraps.
The official reason for this radio silence was reportedly due to 'security reasons', as per the website, presumably linked to the royal special guest.
Now, however, the full itinerary has been revealed to ticket holders. It has turned up a few curious details - and reveals just how involved the star attraction Meghan Markle actually is.
You can read the itinerary in full below.
The good news? Her Best Life attendees won't have to wait long to hear from Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, as she is set to participate in a live conversation on the first night of the retreat.
But any guest hoping to sneak a cheeky selfie or video with Meghan during her on-stage appearance will be disappointed, as all attendees must undergo a rigorous security clearance before the 'inspiring live conversation' evening event commences.
A section of the itinerary concerning the 'Her Best Life Gala Dinner featuring Conversation with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex' explains: 'To ensure a safe and seamless experience for all guests, entry to the dinner will include a security screening.
The Daily Mail has obtained the itinerary details for the Her Best Life retreat in Sydney
The event website offered a general overview of the itinerary for the retreat, but now exact details, timings and dress code information have been made available to ticket holders
'Please bring your event lanyard and valid photo ID, and allow time for a bag check and brief body-wand scan upon arrival.'
And as for the dress code for the gala dinner? 'Cocktail'.
'Think evening elegance - something that makes you feel confident and special,' reads the dress code description.
The strict measures around phone use at the gala event are also reiterated in the opening section of the itinerary details.
It reads: 'Much like our previous events, and in keeping with our usual policy, this is a strict no phones, no recording moment for the duration of the interview.'
'We promise it's worth it - this is about being fully present, soaking it all in, and it's also a non-negotiable security requirement. Phones away, eyes up, and enjoy the magic!' the message continues.
An added note reads: 'Don't worry! There will be a dedicated moment at the end when you can take out your phones and capture a photo of Gemma with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, on stage.'
However, it's a different case for ticket-holders who have splashed out on the VIP tier, who are assured of 'VIP Group Photos with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex'.

The agenda includes highlights such as morning yoga classes, panel speaker events with inspiring women, free time to enjoy the pool and beach, shared meals, and even a high-energy disco party on Saturday night - 'because your best life deserves a proper dance floor moment'.
