The friendship between the Royal Family and the BFF was documented in the explosive biography Finding Freedom
Earlier this year, the bombiography Finding Freedom, co-authored by journalists Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, was released, documenting the friendship of Meghan Markle and Misha.
It claims how Markus Anderson, the global membership director of Soho Houses, introduced the royal family to many business and cultural elites – both in Canada and abroad.
The authors wrote, “ At a Soho House lunch in Miami, he sat the actress next to Misha, a budding fashion designer with a vibrant personality and impeccable pedigree.
The impetus for the trip to Miami in December 2014 was Art Basel, a decadent art fair that brings together the international rich and famous for a week of parties and events of all shapes and sizes.
Markus invited Meghan, an art enthusiast, to stay at the epicenter of the action, Soho Beach House, to soak up some sun, see some art, and have some fun.
‘A perfect place to make new friends and connections, the Soho house event saw Misha and Meghan get it off to a good start.’
The explosive biography further suggests that Misha and Markus were behind Meghan and Prince Harry’s first meeting.
The Duchess’s closest friends are thought to have put the couple, who now live in the US, on a blind date in London.
Earlier this year, the fashion designer confessed that she had ‘missed her friends en masse’ while quarantined in New York with Leo – and revealed that she ‘needs her friends to laugh and lighten things up’ in a conversation with the People magazine.
Misha and her oil heir Mikey Hess, 33, announced the birth of their first child Leo in March.
The first time Mom has since made an effort to virtually connect with friends, she said, ‘It’s very stressful not to get back to your normal life – I knew having a baby would change my life, but I never expected this. ‘
Misha collaborated with the Duchess (pictured together in 2019) on her Smart Works clothing line, calling Meghan ‘wonderful, thoughtful and thoughtful’
‘I missed my friends so much. As soon as Leo was born, we would have been in the shop and seen friends and been to London by now, and it’s clear all those plans are on hold, ” the designer added.
The fashion designer, meanwhile, is benefiting from FaceTime, but admits ‘it’s not the same’.
“As a new mom, you need a support network, and I absolutely miss having personal time with my new baby and my friends,” she explained.
‘I miss having my friends to laugh with and be lighthearted. This is a challenging, stressful and disruptive time, but we must look forward to the time when we can all be together. ‘
However, Misha said she ‘really enjoyed’ the family time she was able to have as her husband would have traveled for work under normal circumstances.
During her pregnancy, Misha told People that the Duchess of Sussex had shared her advice on becoming a mother for the first time.
The designer revealed, “As with all friendships, you share a lot of tips and stuff.”
Her baby announcement came less than a year after close friend Meghan gave birth to baby Archie in May 2019.

Misha married her husband Mikey at a ceremony in Rome in September attended by Prince Harry, Meghan, Princess Eugenie, 29, and Princess Beatrice, 31, before announcing her pregnancy at the end of the year.
The Duchess has continued to support her friend by wearing Misha Nonoo styles over the years and wearing the famous ‘Boyfriend shirt’ for her first performance alongside Prince Harry, as well as wearing another Misha design for her last day of meetings in the UK before stepping. back from royal duties.
Misha, who worked with the Duchess on her Smart Works charity clothing line, spoke about her friendship with the Royal Family for FEMAIL earlier this year.
Reflecting on the experience of collaboration, Misha described Meghan as ‘the ultimate professional’ and very ‘attentive’ to the women who helped the collection.
“It was such an ideal, incredibly easy partnership,” she said. “It was, from start to finish, wonderful, thoughtful, thoughtful, just like her.”
