Meghan Markle made her first public appearance in the United Kingdom since her return in August, appearing at a local venue with friends Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. The group was seen at the Three Horseshoes, an 18th-century pub located near Burford in Oxfordshire. According to an eyewitness account, the trio was engaged in conversation and laughter during the gathering.

This outing marks Markle’s first time being photographed in a public setting since relocating to England with Prince Harry and their two children last month. Prince Harry also made his first public appearance since the family’s move at the Invictus Spirit Awards on Thursday, where he expressed that it felt “good to be back on British soil.”

The Sussexes’ return to the United Kingdom has attracted considerable media attention, given their previous residence in the United States and their decision to step back from senior royal duties. Their activities since returning have been closely followed, reflecting ongoing public and media interest in the couple’s adjustment to life back in the UK.
