Meghan Markle has enjoyed a ski break with her friends Kelly McKee Zajfen and Heather Dorak, with the latter saying on Instagram that she enjoyed a ‘perfect trip’.

The Duchess of Sussex was pictured smiling with pilates business owner Dorak and former model Zajfen on the slopes of Powder Mountain near Salt Lake City in Utah.

The trio were seen in the photograph wearing big coats, gloves, sunglasses and beanie hats – while Dorak also posted pictures of her family members on the trip.

Dorak, who is the founder of Pilates Platinum, wrote: ‘Wow, what a perfect trip!! My heart is so full. The kids crushed the slopes by day and the adults howled with laughter deep into the night. Truly lucky in love with our wonderful friends!’

Zajfen also shared the photo in an Instagram post of her own, writing: ‘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.

Harry and Meghan at an Invictus Games event in Whistler, Canada, on February 14, 2024

‘The love of family time and adventure 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.’

It comes two weeks after Meghan was pictured on the slopes of Whistler in Canada with Prince Harry for an event marking one year to go until the next Invictus Games.

On Wednesday, Harry lost his High Court challenge against the Home Office over a decision to change the level of his personal security when he visits the UK.

The Duke later said he would seek to appeal the ruling, after he took legal action against the Government department over a decision made in February 2020 that he should receive a different degree of taxpayer-funded protection when in Britain.
