Soho House staff must sign NDAs for Prince Harry, Meghan Markle’s visits to swanky country retreat

Staff at the UK’s exclusive Soho Farmhouse have been asked to sign NDAs so they don’t leak intel about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, multiple sources tell Page Six.

“All Soho House staff have had to sign an NDA specifically for Harry and Meghan,” a source in the know told us, as another insider confirmed the action at the farmhouse, which offers horse riding, traditional Sunday roast dinners, boasts a movie theater and has become a “home away from home” for the Sussexes.

The Cotswolds outpost of the members-only club is a favorite of the couple – and is close to where they have set up home following their shock move back to England.

There are already strict Soho House policies in play, which ban members and their guests from identifying visitors and taking photos.

Another source made it clear that it was not Harry and Markle who had insisted on the NDAs.

We have reached out to Soho House and Sussex reps for comment.

As Page Six revealed, Harry, 42, and Markle, 45, are currently living nearby in a property on the estate belonging to British hedge fund billionaire Ian Wace, with children Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5.

And we reported Markle was spotted at the farmhouse just days after her UK return, meeting a fellow mom for coffee. She has also become a regular attendee of reformer Pilates and wellness classes inside the club’s “Wellness Barn”.

Markle and Harry have close ties with Soho House; they would meet at the Toronto club while they were secretly dating when the former actress was filming “Suits”.

Soho House exec Markus Anderson — who was pictured with Markle last month by her BFF Kelly McKee Zajfen during her visit to England — also remains an ever-close confidant.

Anderson helped arrange Markle’s ultra-low-key, spa-themed bachelorette party in early March 2018 at the farmhouse and helped arrange intimate dates for them at various outposts.

The Sussexes’ move home has baffled fellow Brits and socialites in their orbit, as we reported.

They plan to stay for at least the school year and then could travel to Canada or even Australia.

This week, Harry told GQ he was thrilled to be back — as he opened up old wounds by talking about his family rift –— adding, “It’s been nice to be close to friends, family, friends and friends and their children as well, to be able to have endless playdates to really, like, help our kids settle in.”

We told how the couple had been thinking about the move for the past few years – but they made the final decision only a few weeks before packing up their Montecito, Calif. home, which Harry confirmed, saying, “For us, when certain stars align, and it’s clear that this should or probably will end up being the case, then we lean into that.” 

“I think that having been here for six years now and only being able to go back to the UK for short periods of time, to actually have my whole family there with me, the place that I grew up, wanting to be able to show my kids where I grew up and have them have the experiences to some extent that I had — the good rather than necessarily the bad — provided real, proper, serious thinking as to, ‘This is an opportunity, let’s do it now,’” he said.
