Music mogul husband of Meghan’s friend reveals he helped organise her and Harry’s festive trip to Canada
THE husband of Meghan Markle’s theatre pal has revealed that he helped organise the Sussex’s festive trip to Canada.
Music mogul David Foster, who is married to Meg’s school friend Katherine McPhee, said he was “honoured” to help organise the royal couple’s getaway.
He said: “I felt honored that I was able to help Meghan there, because I'm a Canadian and we're a commonwealth country, we're the Crown's.”
The mansion is reportedly worth $14 million and Foster was keen to keep the owner’s identity anonymous but says he was happy to help the couple.
He added: “I don't know what their next plans are, but I know that it was reinvigorating for them to spend some downtime.”
The musician is believed to be connected to Meghan through his wife Katherine McPhee, 35, who attended theatre school with the Duchess.
Katherine, who has gone on to star in Waitress in the West End, shared a throwback photo of them together in February last year.
“Meghan and I did musicals together as kids,” McPhee wrote on Instagram.
“She grew up to be the Duchess of Sussex and I grew up to star on the West End, so same life if you ask me.”
