Meghan and Jessica were once best friends, with Jessica's three children appearing as pageboys and bridesmaids at Meghan's 2018 Windsor wedding. But the pair fell out two years later when Jessica was embroiled in a race row with Black Canadian lifestyle blogger Sacha Exeter. In 2020, the mum-of-three was accused of The high profile spat, in which Jessica appeared to threaten Sasha with legal action in a private message after publicly apologising, reportedly left the Duchess of Sussex 'mortified.' The Canadian stylist has issued two public apologies, but Meghan is believed to have kept her distance. Most read in Royals Jessica shared a quote on Instagram which said: 'Life changes. You lose love. You lose friends. "You lose pieces of yourself that you never imagined would be gone. 'And then, without even realising it, these pieces come back. New love enters. Better friends come along. 'And a stronger, wiser you, is staring back in the mirror.' After the incident, Jessica lost her job on ABC's Good Morning America along with a number of fashion deals. Meghan reportedly met celebrity stylist Jessica Mulroney, whose father-in-law is former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, while she was living in Toronto filming Suits. Denise Palmer-Davies, director of PR agency Borne Media, told Fabulous , it is 'no coincidence' that Meghan struggles to keep friends. 'Meghan's friendships, particularly those that have broken down, are interesting," she said. "While we are all guilty of not staying in regular contact with people, it is quite unusual for an adult woman to lose so many friends. "It doesn't seem like a coincidence and there have long been reports about her conduct, particularly towards her employees. "It really isn't a good look brand or PR wise if there are continuous reports about behaviour and broken friendships. People will start to question why. 'It's little wonder she appears desperate to cling on to her friendships with the likes of high profile stars Ellen [Degeneres] and Oprah, it shows she can at least hold some relationships down.'
