For her first outing after returning to the UK, Meghan Markle reportedly chose an unexpected location. The news comes as the Sussexes settle into life in Britain following a six-year absence. Prince Harry‘s strong wish to reconnect with his homeland and Markle’s growing career prospects in the UK were reportedly the key reasons behind the family’s relocation.
Tom Sykes claims Meghan Markle reportedly made a private outing since her return to the UK
Meghan Markle has reportedly made her first appearance since touching down in the UK. Just last week, the Duchess of Sussex relocated to Britain alongside Prince Harry and their children, seven-year-old Prince Archie and five-year-old Princess Lilibet.
There has been much uncertainty surrounding the move, with no public sightings of the family since they arrived back. Reports yesterday also suggested that Markle will be staying out of the spotlight for now, focusing instead on settling her family into their new home in the UK.
However, according to Tom Sykes, writing in The Royalist, the As Ever founder has been seen outside the Sussexes’ privately rented residence. That said, it was not an official public engagement.
He claimed that the Duchess was at Soho Farmhouse just days ago, enjoying a relaxed morning in the lounge area above the main restaurant. As per his source, her arrival prompted a “fanfare”, with introductions to staff at the members-only hotspot. No guests or staff have shared photos, suggesting Meghan Markle wanted to keep the Cotswolds club outing low-key and private.
The couple is reportedly planning to settle in the Cotswolds, in a private, non-royal residence outside London. What reportedly sold them on the location is the added privacy and its proximity to King Charles’s Highgrove estate.
However, the family will retain their existing homes in Montecito, California, and Portugal. With Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet enrolled to start school in the UK, they will continue living as non-working royals and have no plans to return to official duties.
