"Chatty and Polite" Meghan Markle Is Reported to Be Taking on One Hobby to Meet People in the U.K.
The Duchess of Sussex is said to be a "regular" at the popular activity.
Prince Harry has been out to support causes like the WellChild Awards since he moved back to England with wife Meghan Markle in August, but the Duchess of Sussex has been sticking closer to their new home.
Meghan, 45, was recently spotted at a pub with former Montecito, California neighbor Ellen DeGeneres, but she has yet to make a public appearance. According to the Sun, the duchess has been spending more time at private member's club Soho Farmhouse and is an active participant in reformer pilates classes.
“Meghan absolutely loves reformer pilates,” a source told the media outlet. “It’s a great way for her to unwind as well as make new friends in the area.”

Soho Farmhouse describes its Wellness Barn as “an escape from the stresses of everyday life,” and it includes ice baths, an ozone sauna pod, treatment rooms and a wellness studio. The insider claims that the duchess “has become a regular at the classes inside the Wellness Barn and she’s chatty and polite.”
“Everyone in the classes gives her space,” the source added. “It’s a very tranquil setting and no one wants to disturb her peace.”
Meghan regularly took part in fitness classes back in California, telling People in 2025 that it felt slightly “uncomfortable” at first. "I go to group [yoga] classes that sometimes have 40 to 50 people in them and just walk in like, 'Hi!'" she said. "Of course, at the beginning, that felt like a lot.”

Along with reportedly hanging out at the Wellness Barn, Meghan has been helping Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, settle into their new life in England.
When asked how their big move has been going on September 25, the Duke of Sussex told Canada's CTV News: "It's been great. It's been great to be back on British soil. The kids are happy in school and it gives me a chance to be able to really focus on the Invictus Games in Birmingham in July next year."
