Promoter Simon Baggs said: ‘We call this concept intellectual entertainment, the idea of globally famous people on stage sharing things that audiences may not have known or thought before.
“Sarah is very engaging and entertaining, and we believe there is a lot of her story that people don’t really know.”
In a statement announcing her tour, the Duchess shared her excitement of revisiting the country.
“I’m so excited to come to Australia to share stories about my life,” she said.
“Australia has been my sister’s home for decades and I see it as a second home.”

She continued: “I always feel a weight lifted off my shoulders when I arrive Down Under. The Australian people have always supported me and treated me kindly.
“It’s a place where I can be myself. I look forward to seeing many of you on the show.”
Sarah’s last visit Down Under was in 2016 when she attended a charity fundraiser at St. Vincent’s Hospital.
Earlier this month, the mother of two gave an update on the two corgis she adopted after the Queen’s death in September.
The Duchess of York now cares for the two dogs, Muick and Sandy, with her ex-husband Prince Andrew, 62, at their Royal Lodge home near Windsor Castle.

At the recent Henley Literary Festival, the royal described looking after the animals as a “great honour,” according to the Telegraph.
She added that Muick and Sandy are “national treasures,” noting that they are well-educated and describing them as “well-taught.”
Since Sarah and Andrew already shared five Norfolk terriers, the two corgis had to integrate with them.
According to the Duchess, “They’re all balancing, the carpet moves when I move, but I’m used to it now.”
The dogs were a gift to the Queen from Andrew and his daughters Princess Beatrice and Eugenie after the death of the Duke of Edinburgh.
The couple was believed to have walked the dogs in the months leading up to the Queen’s death.
