Meghan Markle and Jessica Mulroney

Meghan Markle’s former best pal, Jessica Mulroney, could earn a seven-figure sum if she is prepared to disclose why her friendship with the Duchess of Sussex collapsed in a tell-all book, a publishing source has claimed.

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

 

The friendship was on display for the world to see during Meghan’s 2018 Windsor Castle wedding, where Ms Mulroney 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.

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.
