A source told the Mail that Ms Mulroney could be alienated by mutual friends she shares with Meghan if she decides to reveal details of their fallout.

The source said: “Meghan still has a lot of eyes and ears in Canada.

“I suspect Jessica is not sure what to do [with what she knows]. Meghan is still pretty powerful and they have a lot of people in common.

“She is probably biding her time. She lost her career but to come after Meghan could be perceived as being petty and bitter and could potentially alienate her even more.”

Ms Mulroney could earn up to seven figures if she were prepared to discuss the breakdown in her high-profile friendship with Meghan, according to a publishing source.

However, she has ruled out the prospect of an autobiography despite being “upset” that her friendship with Meghan ended.

Ms Mulroney is adamant that she has no plans to pen her own book and told the Mail that she was “absolutely not” working on an autobiography.

Jessica Mulroney gained prominence in Britain through her close association with Meghan, whom she befriended in 2014 whilst the future royal was residing in Toronto.

Jessica Mulroney gained prominence in Britain through her close association with Meghan, whom she befriended in 2014 whilst the future royal was residing in Toronto.

Ms Mulroney's daughter Ivy joined Princess Charlotte as a flower girl.

Last month, a source told the Mail that Ms Mulroney enjoyed the exposure her bond with Meghan brought at the time, but now sees it as a dark cloud that hangs over her following the end of their friendship.

The source said: "While she enjoyed all the exposure it brought her at the time, that same exposure is what caused her social media rift to blow up in the way it did and led to the end of her friendship with Meghan.

"She really did consider Meghan family. But now she sees that whole time as a 'dark cloud'."
