Meghan's ‘strategic' FRIEND DUMPING

Prince Harry’s wife is thought to have abruptly cut ties with her closest friend, Jessica Mulroney – but she’s just the latest in a long line of ex-pals

These days the Duchess of Sussex has an extremely small circle of friends, having parted ways with many of her pals in recent years. But one constant has been stylist Jessica Mulroney.

However, it looks like Meghan has been forced to get rid of her too, after Jessica got embroiled in a row over the Black Lives Matter movement with Canadian influencer Sasha Exeter, and then lost her job on the reality show I Do, Redo. Jessica apologised, saying, ‘I know I need to do better,’ but Meghan – who has been very vocal about the importance of Black Lives Matter – is apparently ‘mortified’.

A source told the Mail on Sunday, ‘Meghan said she can no longer be associated with her, at least not in public. She has to do what she has to do in order to preserve her dignity and her own reputation.’

But Jessica isn’t the first friend Meghan, 38, has lost touch with since meeting Prince Harry...

NINAKI PRIDDY

Jewellery designer Ninaki Priddy – who was close friends with Meghan for 30 years and even acted as her maid-of-honour at her first wedding – was accused of being cast aside when Meghan’s first marriage to Trevor Engelson ended in 2013.
