Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reportedly struck up an unlikely friendship with Geri and Christian Horner, it has been revealed. The couple are just days away from their return to the UK, with their two children already enrolled in British schools for the new term in September.
The couple's shock return was only revealed last week, with King Charles notified of the news just days before it was made public. The Daily Mail has now revealed that Geri and Christian invited the Sussexes to their home in the Cotswolds last month.
Cotswolds Home and July Meeting
The former Spice Girl and her Formula 1 guru husband live at a £9.2 million Grade II listed 18th century former vicarage in the Cotswolds. It is understood that their meeting took place in July, during the couple's last visit to the UK.
They are thought to have discussed with the Sussexes what life in the UK looks like, with Geri understood to have since been in regular contact with Meghan. Harry and Christian are also thought to be in regular contact, with Christian having acted in an advisory role on the question of life in the Cotswolds.
Growing Friendship and Regular Contact
A source close to the Horners said: 'Meghan and Geri in particular have become increasingly friendly and have been in ever more regular contact in recent weeks. Christian has also had a number of conversations with Harry. They are friends.'
They added: 'Geri is absolutely buzzing about the relationship - and she's loving being involved from the inside in their return to UK. Christian is a bit more circumspect - less overawed. But both of them are aware that the Sussexes will be relaunching themselves socially in a matter of days and they see themselves as potentially a key part of this new friendship group.'
