Meghan Markle Reportedly Finds a Familiar Way to Unwind During Her New UK Routine

Meghan Markle is reportedly settling into a familiar wellness routine during her latest stay in the UK, with the Duchess of Sussex said to be attending Reformer Pilates classes at Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire.

Although Meghan has not made any major public appearance since returning to the UK, reports suggest she has been establishing a low-key routine at the private members’ club in Great Tew.

According to The Sun, the Pilates sessions have become a way for Meghan to “unwind” and meet new people. A source claimed that she “absolutely” enjoys the classes at the club’s Wellness Barn and described her as “chatty and polite” during the sessions.

Other members reportedly make an effort to give her space while she attends the classes.

Pilates has long been part of Meghan’s fitness routine

Reformer Pilates is far from a new interest for Meghan. Before stepping away from royal duties, she attended Pilates classes at Heartcore in London.

She has also previously spoken enthusiastically about Megaformer Pilates, describing it as “hands down the best thing” for the body. Meghan said the effects could be noticeable quickly, claiming that after two classes, people would see a difference.

Her interest in fitness goes back even further.

In 2016, Meghan spoke about her long-standing connection to yoga, saying that her mother, Doria Ragland, introduced her to the practice when she was a child.

“Yoga is my thing,” Meghan said at the time, explaining that she began practicing more regularly while in college.

She also reportedly had a yoga studio installed at Frogmore Cottage, where she and Prince Harry lived before leaving the UK in 2020.

A quieter routine during her UK return

Meghan’s reported Pilates schedule comes as she and Harry spend time in the UK after their return.

Rather than making a series of high-profile public appearances, Meghan has largely remained out of the spotlight. She has, however, been spotted on several occasions with friends.

She was recently seen dining with comedian Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi. Her close friend Kelly McKee Zajfen has also offered glimpses of Meghan’s time in the UK through social media, including moments involving Zajfen’s child, fish and chips and drinks with friends.

The reports have provided a picture of a more private routine centered around friends, casual outings and familiar wellness activities.

Could fitness be connected to a possible acting return?

Meghan’s renewed interest in Pilates has also prompted speculation because of reports surrounding a possible return to acting.

The former Suits star has been linked in recent reports to renewed interest in acting, leading to questions about whether her current fitness routine could have anything to do with a future role.

One possibility mentioned in the article is The Gentlemen season 3, although there is no confirmation that Meghan’s Pilates sessions are connected to the production.

For now, her reported classes at Soho Farmhouse appear to be part of a familiar approach to fitness and relaxation as she settles into life in the UK once again.
