Meghan Markle, 45, has been back in the UK for three weeks now, and she's already been spotted at her favourite celebrity hangout, members' club, Soho Farmhouse. The Duchess of Sussex will be very pleased to learn that the chain is expanding and there will soon be another Soho House base - this time in Windsor!
Soho River House is "coming soon" according to the company website. The preview page reads: "Home to multiple food and drink options, bedrooms, and a 25-metre pool, as well as a range of activities and spaces designed for unwinding, the House will reimagine the classic country club and offer a fresh take on our Houses outside the city." CGI images of the project show that it will have tennis, padel, and pickleball courts as well as an outdoor spa area with a plunge pool and sauna.

The location of the new hotspot is a 15-minute drive from where Prince William and Princess Kate reside with their three children, at Forest Lodge.
Harry and Meghan share a love for this particular chain because it is where they first met and hit it off. In Harry's memoir, Spare, he recounted his time there when dating Meghan: "She filled the gap. She talked about London. She was here all the time, she said. Sometimes she just left her luggage at Soho House for weeks. They stored it without question. The people there were like family."

Members of Soho Farmhouse who noticed the Duchess said she had an early morning coffee and was introduced to senior staff members by name and with "considerable fanfare", Tom Sykes reported in The Guardian.
In June, MailOnline reported that their Portugal property is undergoing a design overhaul by designers from Soho House. Perhaps the Sussexes will also use the same team for their countryside base?
Where are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle living?

Firstly, Meghan has taken to Instagram to share their wholesome outdoor pursuits since being back, and these are set in the heart of the British countryside. Also, while speaking at an Invictus event in London last week, Harry remarked that he had a long journey back to the countryside after his late night.
