Page Six reports that staff at Soho Farmhouse, the exclusive members’club in the Cotswolds, have been asked to sign NDAs specifically covering visits by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The club has long been a favorite escape for the couple, and these days they’re living nearby on an estate belonging to hedge fund billionaire Ian Wace. According to a source, it wasn’t Harry or Meghan who requested the extra paperwork, and Soho House already prohibits members and guests from identifying visitors or taking photos.
The Sussexes moved back to England with Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, for at least the school year, and Meghan has been spotted at the club’s coffee meetups and reformer Pilates classes in its Wellness Barn. Harry recently told GQ he’s glad to be back near friends and family, even as some in their circle reportedly scratch their heads over the move. The NDAs add another layer to the privacy bubble around the family as they settle into this new chapter.
So what does an NDA like this actually cover? Likely the details of who was there, what they did, and anything staff might overhear or witness. For a club built on discretion, it’s the ultimate VIP treatment. Would you want your favorite local spot to protect your privacy like this, or does it cross a line? Sound off in the comments.
