Sources speaking to Page Six revealed that Meghan felt that Mulroney was benefiting from their close friendship, especially after Meghan joined the royal family. Mulroney's increased media coverage and profile were seen as linked to her association with Meghan. However, Meghan's rep declined to comment on these claims.
The source stated, "I don’t know what the tipping point was, but Jess has been on the outs for some time. Their friendship is definitely not what it was. And really, how can you have such a close friendship when one person is basically making a career out of the friendship?"
Mulroney's recent actions have cast a shadow over her relationship with Meghan. While she hasn't directly spoken about Meghan, her comments on Sasha Exeter's situation alluded to their friendship and the topic of race. She publicly apologized to Exeter for her behavior, mentioning her experience with a "closest friend where race was front and centre."
Privately, Exeter revealed that Mulroney threatened her with a lawsuit after the apology. This incident and Mulroney's subsequent statements have further strained her public image.
In the midst of this controversy, Page Six also reported that Meghan is reportedly feeling "embarrassed" and "painful" about being associated with Mulroney's actions. This sentiment comes at a time when Meghan and Prince Harry are actively engaging with the Black Lives Matter movement and meeting with community leaders to support the cause.
While Meghan has not made a public statement about her friendship with Mulroney, it's clear that the scandal has brought their relationship under increased scrutiny.
The source emphasized that Meghan and Harry have consistently been advocates for diversity and inclusivity. Learning about Mulroney's comments was particularly hurtful for Meghan, according to the source.
