Meghan Markle’s former BFF Jessica Mulroney jets to London just one week before coronation
Flying for the coronation? Meghan Markle’s former BFF Jessica Mulroney flies to London just a week before King Charles is crowned – while the Duchess stays in California
Jessica Mulroney, Meghan Markle’s best friend, is on her way to London a week before King Charles’ coronation.
The Canadian stylist, 43, who was previously close to the Duchess of Sussex, revealed on Instagram that she boarded a flight from Toronto to London today.
Her visit, just eight days before King Charles’ coronation, comes as the Duchess herself will miss the Westminster Abbey ceremony.
While Prince Harry, 38, will attend the coronation celebration in London, Meghan will stay home in Montecito, California, with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet as little Archie celebrates his fourth birthday.
It’s unclear what Jessica’s plans are when she arrives in London, but she arrives just in time to take part in a coronation street party.

She posted a picture of the screen in front of her as she boarded the Air Canada flight, writing, “Bye Toronto!” and indicated that she would go to sleep during the flight.
The screen showed a ‘London guide’ with a picture of Big Ben, which is just meters away from Westminster Abbey, where the coronation will take place.
Jessica and Meghan used to be very good friends, they met while the Duchess was just starting Suits.
However, the friends seemed to become more distant in 2020 when the style guru was called out by lifestyle blogger Sasha Exeter for comments she’d made about white privilege, while the pair had a conversation about the Black Lives Matter movement.

Since the awkward moment, mother-of-three Jessica has kept quiet about her relationship with Meghan.
Last month, Jessica shared photos on Instagram showing her having fun with friends on her birthday night out.
She captioned the post, “I’m not a big party girl, but this year I wanted to celebrate some of the women who loved me and stood by me unconditionally.
“I am so lucky to have so many smart girls in my life. And you too Ryan. I’m a lucky lady.’
Jessica’s visit to London comes as Gayle King, Meghan’s boyfriend, has insisted that the Sussexes are in a “really good place.”
The presenter claimed the Sussexes are happier than ever, despite ongoing tensions with the royal family following their Netflix documentary and Harry’s memoir Spare.
She told US Weekly, “I think they’re making the decision that’s best for them. But I think – if [far as] his father [Charles] – I’m glad he’s going.’
After the pair watched the LA Lakers hugging this week but Meghan shying away from a public kiss from Harry on the jumbotron, Gayle said, “You’ve seen them together and I know what they’ve got is really, really blue.” And it’s good to see the happiness they give each other.”
