In love and in London, Meghan polishes up for her Prince – at Posh’s favourite salon
SHE may have just jetted in from Canada, but Meghan Markle has already found an A-list salon to ensure she looks her best for the Royal Family.
The US actress was seen in Chelsea yesterday after a beauty treatment at a west London clinic where an hour’s facial costs £125.
Miss Markle, 36, who finished filming American legal drama Suits last Friday, had an appointment with Sarah Chapman, who bills herself ‘London’s most sought-after facialist’.
It comes amid mounting speculation that the star could be making a permanent move to Britain as her relationship with Prince Harry, 33, becomes increasingly serious.
Dressed in a grey leather jacket with a cable-knit black jumper and chunky scarf, teamed with black jeans and heeled boots, she wore sunglasses – despite the winter weather. Miss Markle, clutching a Prada handbag thought to cost £2,000, was accompanied to and from her car by Mrs Chapman, who set up her beauty brand Skinesis in 2008. She was also seen holding a bag bearing its name, believed to contain skincare products.
The waiting list at the salon is said to be around eight weeks and Victoria Beckham, 43, has previously said she is ‘obsessed’ with its products.
A bespoke facial, lasting an hour, costs £125 with LED light therapy priced at £220 while radio frequency treatment for lower face, cheeks and jaw has a £450 price tag.
Its website reads: ‘Loved by A-list celebrities, beauty editors, socialites and facial obsessives everywhere, Sarah Chapman’s discreet, chic Skinesis clinic in Chelsea has become the ultimate destination for those pursuing per- fect skin.’ A shop assistant at a nearby store who saw Miss Markle leave, said: ‘I saw her getting escorted to a navy blue car by one of the beauticians and there were two cameramen there.
‘We always see Victoria and David Beckham going in there...’ She was also seen strolling past luxury swimwear boutique Heidi Klein, where items cost between £180 and £210. But it is not thought Miss Markle went inside.
The latest London sighting comes amid speculation that an engagement announcement could be imminent. Although she is not thought to have attended the Queen’s intimate anniversary dinner to celebrate 70 years of marriage on Monday, divorcee Miss Markle, who has been dating the prince since last summer, is said to have started planning a move to London.
The couple made their first public appearance at September’s Invictus Games in Toronto. Miss Markle has reportedly put wheels in motion to move her dogs to Britain. In a further sign that she may not return to Suits, her body double Nicky Bursic last week posted a snap of herself with the star captioned: ‘It’s been an absolute pleasure and honour being your standin for the last two seasons Meghan Markle...’
It is thought that Miss Markle has moved out of her rented Toronto home and is shipping her belongings to the UK. A Sarah Chapman employee said: ‘We are not allowed to comment...’
