Meghan's friendship with Sophie Grégoire Trudeau appears to have fallen apart as the Canadian Prime Minister's ex-wife has broken her silence.
The Duchess of Sussex previously referred to Trudeau as her "dear friend", with whom she spent summer days by the pool like "giddy, like absolute school girls".
Justin Trudeau's ex-wife appeared on Meghan's podcast Archetypes in 2022, where the duchess said: "I just absolutely adore you."
However, when asked about their friendship in an interview, Trudeau said simply: "I know her."

The 49-year-old was described as "not [gushing back]" and that "they haven’t spent much time together".
Instead, Trudeau revealed "how terrible she feels for Kate Middleton after her cancer diagnosis".
She said: "My heart just sank when I saw what was happening."
The duchess and Trudeau are believed to have been introduced through their mutual friend Jessica Mulroney.

Meghan formerly lived in Toronto, where she was filming Suits, and this was where she met the Prime Minister's ex-wife at the Canadian Fashion Awards.
In her Archetypes podcast, Meghan described a day spent at home with Trudeau and her family.
She said: "We swam, we drank wine, we splashed in the water. Then threw some pool floats in.
