00:00 Meghan Markle and Jessica Mulroney were close friends during Meghan's time as an actress
00:05 and the beginning of her life as a royal.
00:08 Even though neither one has confirmed or denied growing apart, many believe they are no longer
00:14 friends.
00:15 They are said to have started their friendship in 2011 while Meghan was filming Suits in
00:20 Toronto.
00:21 At first, Jessica was a higher profile than Meghan and so she "looked up to Jessica,"
00:28 according to Katie Nicholl.
00:30 After 2016, they started to spend more time together, posting their adventures on Instagram.
00:37 Around this time is also when Meghan began her relationship with Prince Harry, as E!
00:41 News reports.
00:43 When Harry first started going to Toronto to visit Meghan, it was Ben and Jessica who
00:48 had them over at their house for dinners.
00:51 In the book Finding Freedom, it is said that Meghan consulted Jessica on what to wear when
00:56 meeting with the Queen.
00:58 According to Daily Mail, Jessica was one of the first to be called by Meghan to announce
01:03 her marriage to Harry.
01:05 She also helped Meghan with her wedding and was spotted the day they were married in 2018.
01:11 2018 was also the year in which Jessica signed TV contracts and became more prominent.
01:17 However, in 2020, the stylist was involved in problematic behavior related to the Black
01:24 Lives Matter movement.
01:26 This caused her to lose her contracts and is believed to be the reason why Meghan stepped
01:31 back from their friendship.
01:33 Meghan has not spoken publicly about Jessica in all of these years and Jessica was not
01:38 mentioned in Meghan's podcast, Doku Series, of Harry's memoir.
01:43 According to Daily Mail, when the Doku Series went live, Jessica posted a black and white
01:47 picture of her at their wedding with no context and did not allow comments.
01:53 She has not made any more comments since then.
