Jessica Mulroney and her children had key roles at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's royal wedding

Meghan Markle's former best pal regrets her friendship with the Duchess of Sussex, a source has claimed.

The insider stated that Jessica Mulroney feels she suffered due to the spotlight the friendship put her under.


It comes as Jessica's marriage to her husband Ben is coming to an end after sixteen years together.

Jessica is said to have announced her separation from her husband to acquaintances at a social event in Toronto last month, that the Canadian style expert attended on her own.

Ben and Jessica, who were considered influential in Toronto social circles, are parents to twin boys aged fourteen and a twelve-year-old daughter.

Their relationship suffered a setback after a 2020 social media controversy involving Jessica and race-related issues with a blogger sparked public backlash, according to an insider who spoke to the Mail this week.

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

The friendship was on display for the world to see during the 2018 Windsor Castle wedding, where Jessica served as principal attendant to the bride.

Her children played significant parts in the celebration with Brian and John, her twin boys, serving as page attendants wearing miniature versions of Prince Harry's military dress uniform.

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

The relationship between Jessica and Meghan deteriorated following the 2020 online controversy, with the Duchess severing ties with her former confidante.

The fashion consultant believes her high-profile friendship with Meghan Markle amplified her 2020 controversy and contributed to the marital breakdown, according to the Mail.

The source said: "Part of her wishes she was never part of that wedding.

"Jessica says now that she somewhat regrets becoming friends with Meghan."
