Meghan Markle "secretly flew economy to visit best friend"

BEFORE taking in the West End production of Hamilton with Prince Harry and Lin-Manuel Miranda, Meghan Markle secretly flew economy to Toronto to see her best friend, stylist Jessica Mulroney. “Meghan spent three days holed up at Jessica Mulroney and her husband Ben’s home in Toronto,” ABC News royal contributor Omid Scobie revealed. “They spent their days catching up, cooking together and, of course, playing with Jessica’s children, who love their Aunty Meg.” “There was one evening when Meghan and Jessica secretly headed out into the town to meet some of Meghan’s old, good friends,” Scobie added of Markle’s recent Toronto trip .

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are preparing for royal baby No. 1, which is due to arrive by the end of April.
