HARRY and Meghan are secretly planning to open a new charity office in London — despite relocating to Canada.
The couple, who decided to quit as senior royals, are searching for a new UK base after they leave their offices inside Buckingham Palace at the end of this month.
They are understood to have selected a space at the iconic former BBC Television Centre in White City, where ITV now films some of its hit shows.
The pair are said to have set their sights on a floor run by co-working space Soho Works.
It’s a venture opened by Soho House, a hotel and members’ club chain run by one of their close friends, Markus Anderson.
Prince Harry’s “sustainable travel” group Travalyst already has offices in the building.
The former TV centre is secure, which would suit their needs, with access to all the floors protected by card access-only doorways.
Facilities also include podcast recording equipment as well as a loft for private events.
A source told HOAR on Sunday: “With Meghan and Harry’s well-known links to the chain, this seems like the perfect choice.
Elite club brand
“It would give them the privacy to do their charitable work but also a space with a bit of buzz. They would be able to get in and out without anyone noticing, with three exits and a drop-off point. It’s a no-brainer for them to put their charity there.”
“Although the family has moved to Canada they still fully intend to maintain charitable activities here and felt it was vital to find a home for a new office in London.”
The couple have a long history with Soho House venues, starting with their first date at its Dean Street Townhouse in West London.
Meghan is thought to have held her hen party in the very private Soho Farmhouse in Chipping Norton, Oxon. She is also best friends with Markus, a consultant for the elite club brand.
Meghan and Harry were last week back in the UK on their last official engagements as senior royals.
The deal to step down includes not using the term “royal”, meaning they will have to rename their Sussex Royal brand. The pair’s new website says their as-yet unnamed “non-profit” entity will not use the word.
They have both worked with good causes helping women’s rights, service veterans and mental health projects in the past.
Travalyst was a project they set up last summer in collaboration with industry leaders such as Booking.com, Skyscanner, Tripadvisor, Trip.com and Visa.
A spokesman for Harry and Meg declined to comment on their new office location.
