Meghan Markle was spotted enjoying a serene retreat with good friends and their families. The royal's friends posted cherished moments from their vacation and heartwarming captions on their social media pages.
Meghan Markle recently enjoyed a delightful ski vacation with close friends, briefly escaping the constant gaze of the public for a relaxing retreat in the snow. She was accompanied by Kelly McKee Zajfen and Heather Dorak, who did not hesitate to share glimpses of their joyous escapade on Instagram.
Amidst their cozy and warm skiing attire which included puffer jackets, beanies, and gloves, Meghan stood alongside Kelly and Heather, radiating happiness in a rare photo that beautifully captured their friendship. Additional pictures posted by Kelly and Heather showed not just the trio but also their spouses and children, who were all immersed in the joy of the snowy trip.
Both women also accompanied their carousel posts with endearing captions that spoke to the deep emotional ties they share with the Duchess of Sussex.
In her caption, Kelly expressed, "Beyond grateful for the best of friends! What a trip! Thank you doesn’t even begin to express what my heart is feeling after this trip. The love of family time, adventures, and belly laughs made this trip one for the books! Here’s to many more adventures with friends that feel like family and appreciating each day. ❤️🩹"
Echoing the sentiment, Heather added, "Wow, what a perfect trip!! My heart is so full [...] Truly lucky in love with our wonderful friends!" More than just a group of best friends—like Meghan Markle—Kelly, and Heather each have built impactful careers and prioritize the importance of health and wellbeing.
Kelly, who is a mom of twins, serves as a board member of ACR, a heart ambassador at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), and is the co-founder of Alliance of Moms. Heather, on the other hand, is also a mom and the owner of Pilates Platinum.
The destination for their unforgettable getaway—Utah's Powder Mountain—stands as a structural beacon of natural beauty and sustainable development. With its roots stretching back to the early 20th century, Powder Mountain has grown from a humble sheep range to the largest multi-season ski resort by acreage in the nation.
Its history is a testament to transformation and conservation, from its early days under Frederick Cobabe's stewardship to its current status as a coveted destination that balances outdoor recreation with ecological preservation. Additionally, the resort's commitment to minimizing environmental impact is evident in its sustainable planning, which includes retaining 80% of its Weber County lands as open space.
This ensures that the majestic landscapes and diverse wildlife that make Powder Mountain an enchanting place remain unspoiled for future generations.
Meghan, Kelly, and Heather's ski trip comes at a time when the Duchess and her husband, Prince Harry, have been assured additional security for their future visits to New York City by the NYPD, following a security incident in May 2023. The incident involved a reckless and relentless pursuit of the couple by paparazzi, which very nearly led to driving and pedestrian collisions.
