Jessica Mulroney fears how Meghan Markle would react if she published a tell-all book, according to a Daily Mail report that cites insiders close to the Canadian stylist. The outlet says publishers have floated an advance that could exceed $1million, though Mulroney has publicly denied any plan to write such a memoir. The speculation underscores the enduring intrigue around the former best friends and the fallout that followed years of high-profile collaboration.
Mulroney and Markle were inseparable for years after meeting in Toronto when Markle was filming Suits. The stylist helped guard the couple's privacy, including assisting in managing early discussions about Markle's relationship with Prince Harry. The two appeared publicly at major milestones, and Mulroney's family even played a role on Meghan's wedding day, with Mulroney's children carrying Meghan's train down the aisle. The two traded social media praise in the years leading up to Megxit, when Markle and Harry stepped back from royal duties.
The friendship began to unravel amid a series of public rows in 2020. A high-profile online exchange with influencer Sasha Exeter over the Black Lives Matter movement culminated in Meghan reportedly cutting off contact with Mulroney, and Mulroney faced professional fallout as networks and programs removed ties. The Daily Mail notes that Mulroney has since kept quiet about the friendship while commentators and publishers have speculated about a possible tell-all.
In interviews with the Daily Mail, Mulroney has repeatedly declined to discuss the affair directly, saying she would "never" spill secrets about Meghan. Still, insiders say she bears knowledge of shared histories and the private dynamics of the Sussex circle, which could be seen as ammunition by publishers and readers alike. One insider suggested Meghan remains influential in Canada, where the duchess maintains media attention and a wide network, complicating any potential public salvo from Mulroney.
The discourse around the Sussex circle has included a wider cast of past allies. Stassi Schroeder, Priyanka Chopra, and Violet von Westenholz are among former associates who have seen their own relationships with Meghan shift in recent years, illustrating how the duchess' social network has evolved since Meghan's royal exit. The landscape of these friendships offers a backdrop to the broader question of whether a one-time confidant would move to publish sensational details, or instead choose to remain silent as a current star's profile endures in public life.
As the public and publishers watch for any official confirmation, observers note that the appeal of a memoir from a former insider remains potent in the culture-and-entertainment conversation around Meghan Markle and the broader royal-influencer ecosystem. Whether Mulroney will step forward—or decide to wait—will likely hinge on the dynamics of the Sussex brand, legal considerations, and the reputation consequences she may face in Canada and beyond.
