Prince Harry and Meghan Markle traded royal duties for a calmer life in California, yet the glare of public scrutiny has followed them. Even thousands of miles from the palace, gossip and tabloid speculation are never far away. One recurring rumor has centered on Meghan’s friendship with Markus Anderson, a longtime friend who has been by her side since her “Suits” days.

A Friendship That Lasts

Anderson, a consultant for the luxury Soho House group, was involved in introducing Harry and Meghan and arranging social gatherings at various Soho House locations. Their friendship has endured for years, and they still occasionally appear together, even without Harry. Their latest public outing was at Paris Fashion Week in October 2025, where Meghan supported designer Pierpaolo Piccioli at the Balenciaga show, with Anderson accompanying her.
