Jessica Mulroney Says She Was a "Proud Mom"
Despite not having an official role at the royal wedding, Meghan Markle's good friend Jessica Mulroney played a significant part in the big day. Not only did she help fix the bride's train and veil as she headed out of the chapel, but she is also the mother of three members of the wedding party.
Mulroney's four-year-old daughter Ivy was a bridesmaid and her two sons, Brian and John, were page boys.
Shortly following the ceremony, Mulroney posted her initial reaction to the day: "Proud friend. Proud mom," alongside a photo of her two boys holding Markle's veil before she went into the church.
Proud friend. Proud mom. (Random photo I found online. To whomever took this, thank you)

Mulroney's husband Ben also shared his pride on Instagram, with a photo of his son Brian looking ecstatic walking behind Meghan. "Ok, Brian. You’re getting a TV in your room for the summer," reads the caption.

Early on in their relationship, Prince Harry and Markle reportedly went to dinner parties at the Mulroney's home.
"When Harry first started going to Toronto to visit Meghan, it was Ben and Jessica who had them over at their house for dinners because it wasn't easy for them to go out in public without the risk of getting spotted," a source told E News.
"Harry's become close with their children Brian, John and Ivy. Ivy especially is a big fan. She, of course, has no idea that he's a prince though-he's just auntie Meghan's special friend Harry, who sometimes comes over with fun presents!"
In the biography Harry: Life, Loss, and Love, author Katie Nicholl describes this further. "When Harry came to visit the [Mulroney] family he brought a bag filled with gifts. He won the kids over in an instant. He was brilliant with them and I think what swung it for Meghan was how good Harry was with them," a source told Nicholl in the book. "I actually think that might have been the moment Meghan really fell for Harry. He got to know the Mulroneys quite well, and they liked Harry from the beginning."
