As Meghan and Harry settle into their new Los Angeles home with son Archie Harrison, many friends in the UK and this privileged enough to have worked with the ex-royals have shared how sad they are to be parting with the pair. The most recent to do so, Sarah Chapman, Meghan’s facialist who runs the Skinesis salon in London, said she had become a “dear” friend of Meghan.
In an emotional Instagram post, accompanied by a picture of Meghan, Ms Chapman wrote: “Through my work I am fortunate to meet some incredible, interesting and inspirational people and over the past two and a half years I feel honoured to have spent much time with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
“With Meghan, what began as a client relationship quickly turned into a dear friendship and she welcomed me into their lives.
“I feel very grateful to be a small part of their journey observing the passion for everything they do and compassion for the causes and people they meet, but also to witness the moments other people don’t see. Who they are at home, as parents, as partners, and friends, the kind and very down to earth people they are when no one is watching.
“Every day we learn something new and I have been taught so much by them, and I always leave our time together feeling fulfilled and inspired to help people in any small ways I can.
“I am happy to share with fond memories some of these glowing skin moments I helped create for Meghan with our natural approach to beauty and look forward to many more in the future.
“And to Meghan, Harry and little Archie: sending lots of love and positivity during this transition.
“I know there will be so many ways you will continue to touch people’s lives and enable positive change and we can’t wait to see what you do next.
“See you soon and thank you for everything you do.”
