Jessica Mulroney

Although this Canadian socialite and stylist was certainly the bigger name when she and Meghan Markle first became friends, Jessica Mulroney gained a much wider fan-base after rumors started swirling that she might be named Markle's Maid of Honor in her royal wedding. Alas, she was not, but her three children did have an adorable role walking down the aisle. Jessica, who's a multimillion-dollar heiress and married to TV presenter and the son of a former Canadian Prime Minister, Brian Mulroney, is referred to as "the Gwyneth Paltrow of Toronto." Since Meghan became royalty, however, Jessica has become well-known in the U.S. and U.K. She even got a gig with Good Morning America.
