BREAKING NEWS: Meghan Markle’s former friend drops bombshell in latest announcement
Meghan Markle’s Former Best Friend Unveils New Venture – And It Could Put Her Lifestyle Empire To The Test
Meghan Markle’s former best friend Jessica Mulroney has made a major new announcement that is already attracting attention, with the Canadian stylist stepping into the lifestyle world with a brand of her own.
Mulroney, who was once regarded as one of Meghan Markle’s closest confidantes, has launched The Haus of Her, a new lifestyle platform promising to bring women together through experiences, community and personal transformation.
The move could prove particularly interesting given Meghan’s own growing ambitions in the lifestyle market through her brand As Ever.
The Haus of Her was established in June 2026 and describes itself as a platform designed to “help women rediscover themselves through powerful connections, elevated experiences and communities designed to inspire growth, confidence and transformation.”
Rather than simply focusing on products, the new venture appears to be positioning itself around an entire lifestyle experience.
Among its upcoming offerings is a “Make your scent” event scheduled to take place at Orris Labs in Toronto on September 15. The event promises customers the opportunity to create their own fragrance, while subscribers are also expected to receive curated monthly boxes featuring products selected around the brand’s philosophy.
The announcement has inevitably raised eyebrows because of Mulroney’s long history with Meghan.
Before Meghan became a member of the Royal Family, Mulroney was closely involved in several important chapters of her life. The stylist worked with Meghan during her time on Suits, helping shape the fashion looks associated with her character Rachel Zane.
Their friendship later became even more prominent after Meghan began dating Prince Harry.
Mulroney was involved in preparations surrounding the couple’s spectacular 2018 wedding, further cementing her image as one of Meghan’s inner circle at the time.
For years, the pair were frequently photographed together and appeared to share a remarkably close friendship.
However, that relationship came under intense scrutiny in 2020 following controversy surrounding Mulroney and Canadian influencer Sasha Exeter.
The dispute triggered widespread discussion online and inevitably led to questions about whether Meghan and Mulroney’s friendship had survived the fallout.
Mulroney later attempted to address the speculation, reportedly sharing a social media post insisting that rumours of a rift between herself and Meghan were untrue. The post was subsequently deleted, only adding further fuel to the speculation surrounding their relationship.
Neither woman has publicly provided a detailed account of what happened between them, leaving much of the story surrounded by unanswered questions.
Now, years later, Mulroney is embarking on a new chapter that could place her business ambitions surprisingly close to Meghan’s own.
Meghan has increasingly focused on lifestyle and consumer products, with As Ever becoming an important part of her post-royal business activities. The brand has allowed the Duchess of Sussex to explore areas including food, home, entertaining and lifestyle products.
Mulroney’s Haus of Her appears to be taking a somewhat different approach, placing greater emphasis on female connection, curated experiences and community.
Still, the similarities are difficult to ignore.
Both ventures are built around aspirational lifestyles and personal discovery, while both women have significant public profiles that can attract enormous attention to anything they launch.
Whether the two brands will ultimately compete directly remains to be seen.
For now, Mulroney appears determined to build something that stands independently from her famous former friendship.
And as The Haus of Her prepares for its first major events, one question is already likely to linger among royal and celebrity watchers: could Jessica Mulroney’s latest venture become an unexpected new rival to Meghan Markle’s lifestyle empire?
