Royals Pilates to Whole Foods! How Meghan Markle Manages a Low-Key Life in London: 'She Goes Incognito' Meghan Markle takes pains to fly under the radar when she's not on official royal duty By Phil Boucher Phil Boucher Phil Boucher is an editor at PEOPLE and based in London.

In the past “the only other place she has visited regularly is Whole Foods, which is little more than five minutes away from Kensington Palace,” the source continues. “That way she can quickly sneak in and out without anyone noticing it’s her.” Can’t get enough of PEOPLE’s Royals coverage?

From understanding the Queen’s preferred dress code to turning down autograph requests from fans, the L.A.-born former Suits star has had to adjust to a whole new way of life since joining the royal family in May. “Every single day is in the public eye,” says Ken Wharfe, Princess Diana’s former bodyguard. “To do the things that she used to do in America, those days are long gone. You can argue she has the biggest acting role ahead of her that she ever had in her life.” Her newfound skills, which she has perfected with the help of the Queen’s former assistant private secretary, Samantha Cohen, will be on display next month when she joins Harry for their autumn tour Down Under.
