Megan Markle, accompanied by her husband Prince Harry and her mother Doria Ragland, attended the Miss Foundation for Women’s 50th Anniversary Gala event in New York.

Notably, Megan was also joined by some of her close friends, including Marcus Anderson, Genevieve Hillis, and Jewel Smaller.

Among them, Marcus holds a special place in Megan’s life as he played a crucial role in helping her keep her relationship with Prince Harry a secret.

As a consultant for Soho House, Marcus has been seen accompanying the former actress on various occasions, including their royal wedding.

Recently, rumors have surfaced that Megan is living with Marcus in the Montecito mansion, while reports suggest that Harry is distancing himself from his wife.

Marcus was also seen with Megan during a hike on the day of her coronation.

It is believed that Marcus began working at Soho House as a waiter when he was around 18 years old.

If he was born in 1978, he would have started working for the organization in 1996.

The first Soho House opened in London in 1995, according to the official website.

This aligns with speculation that Marcus moved to London and started his career at the first Soho House.

Marcus’s dedication and hard work allowed him to climb the ranks within Soho House, and he is now the Chief Membership Officer, as mentioned in the 10th-anniversary post of the Toronto Soho House on their official website.

The exact time when Megan met him remains unclear, but it raises another question regarding Marcus’s lack of formal education and how he managed to enter such an exclusive circle.

Marcus’s association with Soho House provided him with opportunities to network with famous individuals.

He has met actors, singers, socialites, and fashion designers, many of whom have connections to the British royal family.

Marcus’s connections played a significant role in Megan’s social ascent and ultimately led her to Prince Harry.

Among Marcus’s celebrity friends is actor Eddie Redmayne, who may not be immediately associated with the British royals.

However, Eddie attended Eton College and was in the same year as Prince William.

Interestingly, Eddie and Megan were both present at Soho House in Istanbul, according to a 2018 Daily Mail article.

They also attended the opening of the Amsterdam Soho House a few years later.

Given Marcus’s involvement with Soho House events, it is evident that he played a crucial role in these Istanbul and Amsterdam gatherings.

While it was previously believed that Misha Nonu acted as the matchmaker for Megan and Harry, recent information suggests otherwise.

Misha’s connections to the royals come through her ex-husband Alexander Gilkes, who was acquainted with Prince William and Princess Catherine during their time at Eton.

Gilkes was a few years ahead of William.

Misha’s second connection is through Princess Eugene, a cousin of William and Harry.

Another surprising Hollywood star linked to Marcus Anderson is Jamie Dornan, who also shares ties with Eddie Redmayne.

Jamie, like Eddie, has connections to Soho House, as mentioned in a 2018 Daily Mail article.

An article from Jay Dornan Life reveals an intriguing detail – Jamie and his wife Amelia were present at the same Istanbul Soho House party where Eddie and Megan were in attendance, assuming it was the same event.

This further highlights Marcus’s involvement in bringing together various influential figures.

In conclusion, Megan Markle’s close friendships, particularly with Marcus Anderson, have played a significant role in her life.
