MEGHAN Markle’s friend Jessica Mulroney has shared a cryptic post about “losing friends and finding better ones”, months after her racist bullying claims.
The stylist’s friendship with the Duchess of Sussex was said to be on the rocks after Jessica came under fire for using her “white privilege” against a black social media influencer.

Jessica, 41, from Toronto, shared a quote on Instagram yesterday, 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.”
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.
Last year, mum-of-three Jessica was accused of abusing her “wealth and privilege” by influencer Sasha Exeter to attempt to shut her up in the midst of the Black Lives Matter movement.
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.”
After the incident, Jessica lost her job on ABC’s Good Morning America along with a number of fashion deals.
Despite rumours that Meghan and Jessica’s friendship was then “not what it once was”, Jessica said that she is “constantly” in touch with Meghan, saying the royal often “checks up” on her.
Posting a statement on her Instagram stories, she wrote: “I’m going to tell this once and for all. Meghan and I are family.
“She is the kindest friend and has checked up on me every day.”
However, a source claimed that they aren’t as close as they once were, adding: “It’s not because of [Exeter]. They’ve just grown apart.”
An insider claimed in July that Jessica was “devastated and distraught that Meghan had done nothing to stand up for her publicly”.
A source close to Meghan said she was left “mortified” by Jessica’s actions and feels she can “no longer be associated with her.”
They told the DailyMail.com: “She said Jessica is in no way a racist, but the way she handled the situation was tone-deaf and heartbreaking.
“Meghan said friends reflect friends and because of what’s at stake she can no longer be associated with Jessica, at least not in public.
“She has to do what she has to do in order to preserve her dignity and her own reputation.”
The Duchess of Sussex is currently living in California with Harry, Archie, two, and newborn Lilibet.
In more Royal Family news, Meghan Markle & Prince Harry would’ve ‘reached beneficial’ Megxit deal if they’d been more ‘dignified’, an insider has claimed.
And Prince Harry ‘can’t heal rift with William as he’s “so under Meghan Markle’s thumb” and she’d “bite his head off”.
