"It was her headquarters whenever she came to London. Sometimes she just left her luggage at Soho House for weeks," he said. "They stored it without question. The people there were like family.”

Meghan admitted she wondered if he was "one of the guys who has so much of an ego that any girl would wait and sit around for 30 minutes for you". She added: "I was not interested in that."
Luckily, her doubts were gone when Harry showed up. Meghan laughed and admitted he was "genuinely so embarrassed" he was late.

The Sussexes have been together for eight years (Getty Images)Harry and Meghan may have met at Soho House 76 Dean Street, but their time at the club didn't end there. The pair enjoyed a number of secretive dates there, with Harry recalling how he once "navigated a sort of maze through the bowels of Soho House" before finally finding Meghan's hotel room.
The pair spent the night together. Harry wrote in Spare: "In the morning we needed sustenance. We phoned room service. When they knocked at the door, I looked around frantically for a place to hide. The room had nothing. No cubbyhole, or wardrobes, no armoire." Instead, he said he lay "flat on the bed" and pulled the duvet over his head.
