Jessica Mulroney Regrets Meghan Markle Friendship After Divorce

Jessica Mulroney, once a close friend and chief bridesmaid to Meghan Markle at her 2018 royal wedding, now regrets her friendship with the Duchess of Sussex, viewing it as a 'dark cloud' over her life. The friendship ended abruptly in 2020 following a public controversy where Jessica was accused of racial insensitivity toward a Black influencer, Sasha Exeter, during the Black Lives Matter movement, leading Meghan to sever ties with her. This fallout not only damaged Jessica’s reputation and led to the loss of lucrative sponsorships and TV appearances but also reportedly contributed to the breakdown of her 16-year marriage to Ben Mulroney, who stepped down from his hosting role amid the scandal. Sources reveal Jessica wishes she had never been involved in Meghan and Prince Harry’s wedding, as the exposure brought by their association ultimately caused significant personal and professional turmoil. Despite the initial positive impact of the friendship on her career and social circle, Jessica now sees the relationship as a catalyst for her subsequent struggles. The situation underscores Meghan's commitment to racial equality and the consequences faced by those whose values conflict with hers.
