EXCLUSIVE: Meghan Markle’s former best friend, Jessica Mulroney, could be poised to release a tell-all book about her fallout with the Duchess and what really went on behind closed doors.
Just when many thought everything had been said about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, a close friend of The Duchess of Sussex’s could be poised to release a tell-all book. A source has revealed that Jessica Mulroney, a Canadian stylist and one of Meghan’s former best friends, could be putting pen to paper about the royal’s fall from grace.
Jessica was put through the wringer following a “white-privilege” scandal in 2020, where she was axed from TV gigs following her racially charged spat with lifestyle blogger Sasha Exeter.
She issued an apology at the time, while her then-husband Ben quit his job as a television presenter to help her with the rampant online — and professional — backlash, which led to a very public souring of her friendship with Meghan Markle.
Jessica archived her Instagram page at the time, and when she reinstated the page, a picture she had posted with Meghan had been removed. Now, a publishing insider says: “Jessica’s explosive story is the one publishers want to get their hands on. She could command up to a seven-figure dollar sum depending on what she is prepared to say.

“There’s huge interest in Jessica’s perspective and her time in the royal spotlight when friends with Meghan. People would rush to buy Jessica’s book to know what really happened between them. Hers is the real story royal watchers want to read and are asking for.”
The two women had been best friends for years after meeting in Canada, where Jessica, 45, had introduced Meghan – who was then based in Toronto while filming Suits – to the city’s glittering social scene.
They remained close during the early stages of her relationship with her future husband, and Jessica’s children – twins Brian and John and daughter Ivy – even served as page boys and bridesmaid at Meghan and Harry’s royal wedding in 2018.
However, two years later, the pair went their separate ways as sources claimed at the time Meghan, 44, had ended the friendship due to the drama surrounding Jessica.
Until now, Jessica has maintained a diplomatic silence, failing to speak out on the notable silence from her once best friend she considered to have been like family – Meghan.
But if Jessica now chooses to tell her side of the story, it could entail opening up on her friendship with the royal,” says the source. “Jessica was let down and hurt by these false accusations swirling around her. She was really put through the mud in 2020 and has had an emotional time since then, watching from the sidelines while it all played out in the media with false reports about her, and unable to say anything.
“This could be her chance to set the record straight about a lot of things that she was accused of, after being cancelled,” says the insider.
They continued, “She has the receipts. No one had a voice for her and helped her to get the truth out at the time, so writing a book would be the chance to reclaim her power and counteract the false stories, like the one about the treatment of Princess Charlotte during the bridesmaid’s dress fitting in 2018 for Meghan’s wedding to Harry.
“If she goes ahead with a book deal, Jessica would finally be able to explain what really took place at that time and correct all the false narratives that have been spun around her.”
Back when the scandal broke, it was reported that Meghan reacted with shock after hearing of Jessica’s “tone deaf” threats to sue Exeter, and swiftly decided she can “no longer be associated with her”.
“Meghan is absolutely mortified that she’s been dragged into this complete mess. She said Jessica is in no way a racist, but the way she handled the situation was tone deaf and heartbreaking,” a friend of Meghan’s alleged at the time.
