Jessica Mulroney Reportedly ‘Regrets’ Ever Befriending Meghan Markle

The Canadian stylist's reported feelings about her friendship with the Duchess of Sussex come years after their fallout and amid the breakdown of her marriage.

Jessica Mulroney reportedly blames her association with Meghan Markle as the source of the breakdown of her relationship with her now-estranged husband of 16 years, Ben Mulroney. News recently emerged that the former couple, who share three children, have filed for divorce.

Jessica and Meghan had been close friends for years when Meghan married Prince Harry in 2018. She rose to fame as the Duchess's maid of honor, while her and Ben's twin sons also served as page boys at Meghan's wedding.

However, just two years later, the two friends became estranged when Jessica was accused of racism after allegedly threatening to end online blogger Sasha Exeter's career. The viral moment sparked heavy backlash against Jessica both online and professionally.

She issued an apology shortly after, and her husband quit his job as a TV presenter to support her. "That whole incident later caused tensions, even in her marriage," a source told the Daily Mail. "Jessica says now that she somewhat regrets becoming friends with Meghan."

The source continued, "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 and her marriage.'"

"If she could go back, a part of her wishes she was never part of that wedding. She really did consider Meghan family. But now she sees that whole time as a 'dark cloud,'" the source added.
