Members of the exclusive countryside retreat Soho Farmhouse in north Oxfordshire recently reported seeing Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, arriving for an early morning coffee. This sighting has led to speculation that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are settling in the area. According to correspondent Tom Sykes, Meghan was spotted at the Comfy Farm lounge before 9 a.m., where she was introduced to senior staff by name. Soho Farmhouse, located on 40 hectares (100 acres) of rural land, features a luxury spa, 40 private guest cabins, and an indoor-outdoor pool. It is a popular spot for celebrities and high-profile individuals. If the reports are true and the Sussex family is staying in a nearby property, they would be living close to other notable residents. The Beckhams, who live within walking distance of the retreat, are often seen in the area, as are Paul McCartney and his daughter, Stella. The couple previously rented a house in the nearby village of Great Tew, known for its traditional thatched cottages. Other potential neighbors include Geri Halliwell-Horner and her husband, Christian Horner, who live in a former vicarage in nearby Banbury. The couple shares a passion for animals, similar to Meghan’s interests. The Telegraph reported that the Sussexes left their rescue chickens behind in Montecito, California, but plan to bring their dogs to the UK. Local newspapers have noted the possibility of a royal return to the Cotswolds, with reports of the family’s recent move. Their children, Archie and Lilibet, have started at a local school, and parents have been reminded to respect the privacy of other families by not taking photos or sharing information about them. Despite having over 200,000 members, Soho Farmhouse remains a favored spot for A-list celebrities due to its high membership fee of £325 a month and strict no-photography policy. Recently, the venue also banned Meta glasses over privacy concerns. Soho Farmhouse is likely to feel familiar and safe to Meghan. In Harry’s memoir, Spare, he wrote that Soho House in London was “her headquarters whenever she came to town.” He mentioned that she sometimes left her luggage at the venue for weeks, and the staff treated her like family. The couple met there for their first date, and during a 2016 visit, Meghan was seen cycling with TV personality Millie Mackintosh. She also hosted her hen party at the Cotswolds retreat in 2018. Meghan is a close friend of Soho House executive Markus Anderson, who introduced her to London’s high society in 2016. The couple has several charitable events planned in the UK, including the WellChild awards in London and the Invictus Games in Birmingham. Meghan has also hinted at seeking acting roles and has expressed a fondness for being part of a film crew, as she was when filming her Netflix cookery show. The couple reportedly loves the Oxfordshire countryside and made the Cotswolds their base during a recent visit to see King Charles. They previously rented a home in the area while still working royals. In Spare, Harry wrote that they considered moving to Oxfordshire full-time, drawn by the fresh air and lack of paparazzi. It seems they may have finally realized that dream. Soho House has not commented on the reports, and the Sussexes’ spokesperson declined to comment.
