Meghan Markle's Former BFF Going Through Major Life Change: Report
Meghan Markle's Former BFF Going Through Major Life Change: Report originally appeared on Parade. Jessica Mulroney has reportedly split from her husband of 16 years, Ben Mulroney. On July 29, Page Sixreported the news and said that Jessica, 45, has taken off her wedding ring. "They're split. Jessica seemed sad, but also relieved to have some clarity," a Canadian source told the outlet, while another source said the pair separated "some time ago." A source also confirmed the reported breakup to Us Weekly. In Instagram selfies posted on June 28 and July 24, the Canadian fashion stylist did not appear to be wearing her wedding band. However, Jessica did share a birthday tribute for Ben, 49, on March 12, writing, "Happy belated Birthday Benny! Hope all your wishes come true as well as Bruce Wayne's dream to try my cheesecake. Xx." The former best friend of Meghan Markle also celebrated the pair's wedding anniversary via Instagram with a series of sweet photos on November 17, 2024, admitting that they had forgotten about the special day. "Ok so our wedding anniversary was a slight oversight this year ( ie… we forgot). But the love all year round makes up for it," she wrote. "Which reminds me, how many years has it been @benmulroney? I feel lucky everyday so what's a number?" Jessica and Ben—who works as a radio host and is the eldest son of late former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney—tied the knot in 2008 after having met as teenagers. In a heartfelt 2018 Instagram post, the marketing consultant detailed the pair's love story. "We met when I was 14 years old. He was of course MUCH older. Ben's family moved back from Ottawa to MONTREAL four blocks away from my family's home. We met. We hung out. We kept in touch through so many moves and failed relationships," she wrote. "12 years later, we went on our first date. (thanks to my sister Liz for pushing me to go). It was the best date of my life. 9 months later we were engaged. 9 months after that married. "It was a beautiful wedding (if you were there, highly likely you don't remember it) I was lucky enough to inherit the most wonderful in laws (brothers and sisters included) imaginable. "We had twin boys. Then a little girl. We've worked hard. We've laughed harder. And we will continue to make the most wonderful memories. "I felt like the luckiest girl ten years ago. I feel even luckier now. Ben, you are and will always be, my everything. Hopefully we will get to see the whole world together. Until then Australia." The pair welcomed their twin sons, Brian and John, in August 2010. Their daughter Isabel was born in June 2013. Jessica and Markle, 43, were once close friends, but haven't been spotted together in quite some time. Their reported rift allegedly began in June 2020, when Canadian lifestyle influencer Sasha Exeter publicly accused Jessica of showing "textbook white privilege" and "very problematic behavior and antics," People reported. In September 2020, Jessica took to her Instagram Stories to seemingly deny a falling out with Markle. "I'm going to tell this once and for all. Meghan and I are family. She is the kindest friend and has checked up on me everyday. Tabloid culture is atrocious. It creates lies and hurtful storyline[s]. Stop feeding into it. Done," she said, according to People. However, the former best friends "haven't been seen publicly together in years," per the outlet.

Camping 101 for your ‘ultimate Canadian experience' — Staying cool in a tent, extreme weather safety and more tips
Summer camping season is here. It's a common family ritual filled with sitting around a campfire, eating S'mores, sharing ghost stories, hiking, swimming and a general separation from the noise of the city. 'Camping is the ultimate Canadian experience. We are a nation of campers,' said Alexandra Anderson, executive director of Camping in Ontario , an association comprised of privately and publicly owned campground businesses in the province, and advocates for the industry. 'There's just something therapeutic about sitting around a campfire.' The Civic Holiday long weekend is the busiest camping weekend of the year, with most of the organization's member campgrounds operating at 100 per cent occupancy. We asked the organization for some newbie camping tips, so if you're new to camping the below advice is for you. Just a note that there are different types of camping, such as RV or trailer camping, roofed accommodations (such as staying in a bunkie), 'glamping,' wilderness camping and more. The advice below is for traditional overnight tent camping at a campsite. Tents should be placed in a spot that has shade and a breeze, if possible, to help it stay cool. If you are using a rain fly over your tent, raise it high so there is airflow between it and the tent. If it is raining, then you'll want the rain fly low to the ground to keep the tent dry. Anderson also suggests using a groundsheet under the tent to keep away the morning dew and to help the tent stay dry in case of rain. On a hot night, use a bed sheet instead of a sleeping bag. Also, if you do a lot of summer camping, pick a tent with a lot of mesh. Hot summer nights are not guaranteed and if you find yourself camping on a cool summer weekend and need to warm up at night, then layers are your friend. Also, tuck a tuque into your sleeping bag, Anderson said, so that if you find yourself cold in the middle of the night, you can put it on to keep your head warm. If you have a dog, have it sleep with you. 'There is a science to packing your cooler or coolers,' Anderson said. There are two things to consider when packing the cooler. First, you should eat your way down so the food you will be eating earlier on your camping trip should be at the top. Secondly, frozen items should be placed at the bottom of the cooler in a container with an airtight seal. The airtight seal helps slow down warming. If you can, take two coolers — one for drinks and one for food. Every time the cooler is opened, it loses some of its coldness, so ideally you keep your food in a separate cooler from the drinks cooler, which will be opened more frequently. Coolers should be kept in the shade and put away in the car overnight, along with other food. Prepare as much of your food as you can in advance at home. Fruits and veggies, for example, can be cut up at home where it's easier. Anderson also suggests freezing certain foods. So, if you like chili, make it at home, then seal it in a plastic bag and freeze it. Then, at mealtime, you can boil it right in the plastic bag and afterwards you can use the boiled water to do your dishes. Your egg mixture can also be prepared in advance as well, then placed in a plastic bag, frozen and then boiled at the campsite right in the plastic bag for fluffy scrambled eggs. Again, use the boiled water to clean your dishes. She also suggests preparing tin-foil meals that you can later cook on the fire. Campfire Safety Tips! The OAFC team wants to ensure everyone has a safe long weekend. Questions about fire safety? Reach out to your local department for more information. People should check for fire bans before heading out. Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources is a good place to check for fire bans, along with campfire rules and regulations. If there is a fire ban, Anderson suggests bringing a small propane stove for cooking. 'Campers need to be paying attention to the weather,' Anderson said. This is important because multiple Ontario campgrounds have been impacted by severe storms several times this summer already, and Ontario summers are becoming less predictable. For this reason, you should familiarize yourself with your surroundings, and when you arrive at your campground, ask where the emergency shelter is and figure out how to get there. 'I know it sounds dramatic, but we've already had a fairly significant amount of storms this summer and people have had to evacuate more than once to the safety of these shelters,' she said. She said most campgrounds have a washroom made of cinder block, which can be a safe place in a severe weather event. If you are caught unaware and don't have time to get to a shelter, your car is safer than your tent. Campers should book their site in advance as popular campsites fill up quickly. If a campground is full and you show up without a reservation, you'll be turned away. Camping in Ontario has an online reservation tool for booking with its member campsites. Alternatively, if you choose to camp at a provincial park, you can book through Ontario Parks , or if you camp at a conservation area then the local conservation authority would have its own online reservation system. At the end of your camping trip, your campsite should be left in the same state as you found it. People should be aware of their own garbage and recycling and are reminded that littering is never acceptable. Some rural communities may not have recycling available so you may have to take some of your waste home if you want to recycle it, Anderson said. If you are new to camping, practise putting up the tent in your backyard first, that way you aren't struggling with it when you get there. You'll also be able to see if your tent is missing any pieces. She suggests sleeping on an air mattress. If you do a lot of camping, she suggests something more expensive for better comfort but if you only camp once or twice a year, a cheap one should be fine. Lastly, always bring bug spray. Error!

Peter Phillips, grandson of late Queen Elizabeth II, is engaged
Peter Phillips, the son of Britain's Princess Anne and eldest grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II, announced his engagement to nurse Harriet Sperling on Friday. 'Mr Peter Phillips, the son of HRH The Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips and Ms Harriet Sperling, daughter of the late Mr Rupert Sanders and Mrs Mary Sanders of Gloucestershire, have today confirmed their official engagement,' the couple's spokesperson told CNN in a statement. 'Both families were informed jointly of the announcement and were delighted with the wonderful news of their engagement. Their Majesties The King and Queen, The Prince and Princess of Wales have been informed of the announcement. 'No date has officially been set for the wedding,' the statement added. The couple first announced their engagement with a photo shoot in UK celebrity magazine Hello!, in which they were pictured in a field, with Sperling's ring prominent. They have been a couple since at least May 2024, when they were pictured together at the Badminton Horse Trials alongside Phillips' daughters and Queen Camilla. Sperling is a pediatric nurse for Britain's National Health Service and a freelance writer, according to an online biography attached to an article she wrote for Christian magazine Woman Alive last year. Phillips, 47, was previously married to Canadian-born Autumn Kelly with whom he shares two daughters – Savannah, 14, and Isla, 13. They announced their 'amicable' divorce and decision to share custody of their children in 2020.
