...and have this Soho House pair landed the key role too?
THEY have adopted the Soho House style for their new home. And it may be that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have extended the members’ club theme to friends chosen as baby Archie’s godparents.
Sources close to the couple claimed last night that Izzy May, a former publicist for the company, is a godparent.
Friends in the circle also said they would be surprised if Markus Anderson, a Canadian-born Soho House director, had not been made a godfather.
The pair were guests at Harry and Meghan’s wedding. Neither has children, allowing them to lavish Archie with time and attention. Anderson, 41, grew close to the Duchess when they lived in Toronto, where he accompanied her to the Invictus Games closing ceremony in 2017.
Last summer they flew to Madrid with friend and fashion designer Misha Nonoo. He also introduced Meghan to Amal and George Clooney and to Jessica Mulroney.
Friends of Miss May, 41, who now works for David Beckham’s company DB Ventures, say she has been chosen for the special role. The London-based publicist got to know Meghan through Soho House, where she worked for the owner Nick Jones for a decade.
When Meghan moved to Britain, the women grew very close but kept their friendship low-key.
Educated at Sussex University, Miss May joined London-based PR agency Freuds in 2001.
Among her clients was Soho House and she quickly became friends with Mr Anderson and Mr Jones.
Harry and Meghan chose a friend they met at one of their favourite haunts, Soho Farmhouse, to provide the flowers yesterday. Willow Crossley, who lives close to where the couple rented their cottage in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, also decorated the evening party for last year’s Royal Wedding.
