Despite her marriage to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle remains very close to Markus Anderson. But who is this friend and confidant, present at all the important moments in the life of the Duchess of Sussex?
If Meghan Makle seems to have the perfect love affair with Prince Harry, she has another man in her life. This is Markus Anderson, a 41-year-old Canadian, who is nothing less than his best friend and confidant. The two friends would have met in Toronto in the Soho House club, a very select private establishment whose members are handpicked, at the time when Meghan Markle was filming in the series Suits.
Born in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, he reportedly decided to leave his hometown at 18 to fly to England where he became a waiter at Soho House in London. He rose through the ranks and was then sent to Toronto to oversee the opening of a branch of the club in the city. This is where his friendship with Meghan Markle will be born.
According to the Italian site Amica, Markus Anderson is also at the origin of the solid bond between the Duchess of Sussex and stylist Jessica Mulroney, who has since become her best friend. It is in fact he who would have presented them. It would also be thanks to him that Meghan Markle would have met Justin Trudeau, the current Canadian Prime Minister. But at the time, the latter was still only the son of Pierre Eliott Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister between 1980 and 1984, and star of the Canadian jet set. It is also rumored that Markus Anderson would have played a role in the meeting between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. He is also believed to be behind the recent hiring of Sarah Latham by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as the new communications director.
“What would I do without you, my beloved friend, always encouraging and so funny? Indeed I know, I would die of boredom and life would be infinitely less interesting. The happiest day for you now and forever. I love you so much, "Meghan Markle would have written in a message on social networks to Markus Anderson, now deleted.
Since then, Markus Anderson has been present at all the important moments in Meghan Markle's life. He was seen alongside him at the Invictus Games in Toronto in 2017, which was then the first hand-in-hand outing for Harry and Meghan. He was obviously present at the Duchess's wedding last May. And we also saw him with Meghan during the latter's escape to New York on the occasion of his baby shower.
