After the Coronation festivities, there are a fair few hangovers in London today. But there was no sign of that over in Notting Hill, where fitness fanatics were up early for Soul Cycle. And Mr S understands that among the more high-profile attendees at the 9:30 a.m class this morning were none other than Akshata Murthy, Rishi Sunak’s wife, and Jill Biden, America’s First Lady. Talk about a Special Relationship…

The better halves of the two world leaders both enjoy Soul Cycle, with Murthy also once owning a 4.4 per cent stake in boutique London gym chain Digme Fitness, where she was a director. Downing Street declined to comment but Mr S hears that the pair were taught by Abbey Ashley, a self-confessed ‘Swiftie’. Good to see there’s no Bad Blood between Murthy and Biden over the President’s decision not to attend – after all It’s Nice to Have A Friend.

Let’s hope the bond between their respective partners remains equally close…
