Jessica Mulroney—once a trusted friend of Meghan Markle and a prominent stylist—has now expressed regret over their friendship, saying it brought more complications than fulfillment. According to insiders, the relationship ultimately cast a “dark cloud” over her life and marriage following a high-profile scandal in 2020.
Mulroney rose to prominence through her close association with Markle, even helping organize key moments such as Meghan’s 2018 royal wedding. However, in 2020 she became embroiled in a racial controversy involving influencer Sasha Exeter—an incident widely perceived as tone-deaf and rooted in privilege. The backlash cost Mulroney television opportunities and led her husband to step down from his TV role to support her amid the fallout.
Sources now say Mulroney partially blames her friendship with the Duchess for triggering the wave of public scrutiny. Though she admits she enjoyed the attention at the time, she believes it contributed to personal and professional losses—including the end of her marriage. Recently, she quietly separated from her husband of 16 years.
