Meghan Markle has reportedly been receiving a warm welcome from people in Britain during her latest return to the UK, according to one of her close friends.
Kelly McKee Zajfen, who has been spending time with the Duchess of Sussex and her family, shared a series of photographs from their time together and described the response Meghan has received as “loving” and “beautiful to witness.”
Zajfen, who appeared alongside Meghan in her Netflix lifestyle series With Love, Meghan, referred to the Duchess as her “bestie” while documenting their recent days together.
The photographs showed Meghan enjoying relaxed family moments, including a visit to a country pub where she was pictured holding Zajfen’s six-month-old son, Jack. Prince Harry was also photographed playing with the baby.
In her social media post, Zajfen thanked the people she and Meghan had encountered during the visit, saying they had been particularly affectionate towards her friend. She also claimed that some people had told Meghan they had missed her during her time away from Britain.
“She missed you too,” Zajfen wrote.
The visit has provided a glimpse into Meghan and Harry’s quieter life in the UK, with the couple spending time with friends and family and enjoying everyday activities away from the spotlight.
Zajfen also described the trip as an emotional and memorable experience, mentioning walks, meals and other simple family moments. She highlighted enjoying traditional British food, including fish and chips, while spending time with Meghan and her children.
Princess Lilibet also appeared in one of the photographs, pictured from behind as she looked towards baby Jack.
Reflecting on the trip, Zajfen wrote that spending time with her friend and experiencing the UK through her eyes had been particularly special.
She added that the visit had left her “full of heart” and suggested that she would be taking fond memories of Britain home with her.
The photographs offer a rare look at Meghan and Harry during their time in the UK, as attention continues to surround their return and their life away from their former royal base.
