Meghan Markle was photographed this afternoon at The Three Horseshoes, a historic 18th-century pub near Burford in Oxfordshire, sharing a leisurely outing with Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi.
The Duchess of Sussex, 45, appeared relaxed and in good spirits at the Cotswolds establishment at approximately 2pm, in photos obtained by Page Six.
An eyewitness described the former Suits actress as "chatting and laughing" with Mrs DeGeneres, 68, and Mrs de Rossi, 53, before eventually bidding the couple farewell.
For the low-key afternoon, Meghan opted for a pale blue top with the sleeves rolled to her elbows, paired with white trousers and white trainers.
She wore her hair loose and accessorised with sunglasses.
A representative for the duchess did not respond to requests for comment.
While Meghan enjoyed her Cotswolds afternoon, Prince Harry, 42, was in London attending the WellChild Awards, his most recent public engagement since the family's return to Britain.
The Sussexes, along with their children Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, relocated to the UK on August 26 for what has been described as an "extended" stay.

Much of Meghan's focus during these initial weeks has reportedly centred on her children, who are enrolled in British schools for the first time.
Archie and Lilibet switched schools after just two days, owing to security and logistical issues related to their commute.
The pub outing also underscored a friendship that now spans both sides of the Atlantic. Mrs DeGeneres and Mrs de Rossi, who were neighbours of the Sussexes in Montecito, relocated to the Cotswolds in November 2024.

The former chat show host subsequently confirmed to the BBC that the couple had chosen to settle permanently in England following Donald Trump's re-election as president, adding that Mrs de Rossi was "living her dream" in the English countryside.
In February 2026, the pair reportedly purchased a new property in Montecito, intending to divide their time between the two locations.
Harry has maintained a packed diary of charitable commitments since the family's return, attending three events in the past week alone.
These included the inaugural Invictus Spirit Gala Dinner and Awards on 17th September, followed by today's WellChild ceremony.
He is also expected to travel to New York this week for Bill and Hillary Clinton's annual Clinton Global Initiative gathering.
Meghan, meanwhile, is understood to be continuing her work on her lifestyle brand, As Ever, while also overseeing the couple's Archewell Philanthropies ventures from this side of the Atlantic and looking after their children.
