Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Texas trip sparks speculation
The meaning behind their Soho House visit.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were recently seen at a restaurant in Texas, sparking speculation about the significance of the location for the couple. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared “upbeat” during their visit to the exclusive members-only club, Soho House Austin. This sighting comes ahead of Meghan’s participation in a panel at the SXSW festival in Texas, where she will join actress Brooke Shields and author Katie Couric.
The choice of Soho House holds special meaning for the couple, as it was the location of their very first date back in July 2016. They returned to the club the following day, indicating a fondness for the place. A source described the couple’s recent visit to the Austin branch as a joyful one, stating, “Harry was very animated throughout the dinner. They were super low key and seemed happy to be around the upbeat vibes at the lively venue.”
Meghan’s upcoming appearance at the festival is timed to coincide with International Women’s Day, a significant event celebrated annually on March 8. This aligns with her commitment to advocating for gender equality and women’s empowerment. In his memoir Spare, Prince Harry fondly recalled their initial meeting at the London branch of Soho House. He described his first impression of Meghan, saying:
“I’d seen so many photos of her from fashion shoots and TV sets, all glam and glossy, but there she was, in the flesh, no frills, no filter… and even more beautiful.” This glimpse into their early courtship adds a personal touch to their connection with the exclusive club.
Texas have a special meaning for them.
The couple’s choice to frequent Soho House reflects their appreciation for intimate settings and meaningful experiences. It also underscores their shared values and commitment to supporting causes that are important to them. Meghan’s involvement in the panel at SXSW further highlights their dedication to using their platform to advocate for positive change.
As they continue to make public appearances and engage in meaningful discussions, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle remain influential figures in advocating for social issues and promoting a message of unity and empowerment. Their choice of Soho House as a significant location in their relationship serves as a reminder of their enduring bond and shared values.
