Rumors swirl about Jessica Mulroney tell-all as Meghan Markle’s circle remains silent

Rumors resurfaced this week that Jessica Mulroney is considering a tell-all memoir about her former friendship with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, with publishers reportedly dangling seven-figure advances. According to a Daily Mail report, publishing houses are circling for a candid account of Mulroney’s time in Meghan’s orbit, including incidents in Canada and London and the close-knit circle that once surrounded the duchess. The disclosures come as Meghan has largely kept her distance from Mulroney in recent years, even as the two women’s paths diverged during and after Megxit.

Mulroney has publicly pushed back on the suggestion of a memoir. In an interview with the Daily Mail, she said she would “absolutely not” spill the beans on their friendship. A source close to her, however, said there is an axe to grind: Mulroney allegedly knows “where the bodies are buried” and could be tempted to speak if pressed, a claim that underscores the persistent tabloid chatter about a potential book.

The arc of Mulroney and Markle’s relationship is well documented in public accounts and royal-watch reporting. The Canadian fashion stylist first crossed paths with Markle when the actress was filming Suits in Toronto. Mulroney went on to attend Markle’s wedding to Prince Harry in 2018, where Mulroney’s own children played roles in the ceremony and the couple’s romance was keenly followed by observers in both North America and Britain. In Meghan’s 2022 Netflix documentary, footage of a face-time call to Mulroney from Kensington Palace the night Harry proposed surfaced, underscoring how central Mulroney once was to Meghan’s inner circle.

Yet the friendship cooled. The notes and public chatter outline a steady drift beginning in 2020, after a public online dispute with Sasha Exeter over a Black Lives Matter post that Markle and her allies have linked to broader debates about privilege and race. Exeter described Mulroney’s responses as both defensive and confrontational, prompting criticism that Mulroney’s stance reflected “white privilege.” The dispute, amplified by social media and commentary, reportedly contributed to a broader rift with Meghan, who was already stepping back from certain public relationships.

From there, the alliance frayed further as Mulroney faced professional and personal repercussions. Reports circulated that she was dropped by TV networks and paused or scaled back charity involvement tied to her long-running work supporting homeless women in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. Meghan, who has since focused on new projects and a curated social-media presence around her brands, also reduced direct public association with Mulroney.

As the friendship cooled, conversations about a potential memoir intensified. In publishing circles, insiders say there would be enormous audience interest in Mulroney’s perspective on life in Meghan’s orbit, the pressures of fame, and what transpired behind the scenes in their famous circle. Some observers noted that the very people who once lauded Mulroney as a trusted confidant might now be most intrigued by the opposite: a firsthand account of the tensions, misunderstandings and decisions that reshaped two women once seen as inseparable.

The couple’s public story has continued to unfold independently of Mulroney. Meghan has remained largely private about the specifics of past friendships, choosing instead to spotlight her work on media projects and charitable causes. Mulroney, meanwhile, has stepped back from the spotlight in ways that have fueled continued speculation about her personal and professional life, including reports of a separation from her husband after 16 years of marriage and being photographed without her wedding ring.

Experts in royal-era entertainment note that any memoir would not only trace the arc of a singular friendship but could also reflect broader themes about media, privilege, and the limits of influence within elite social circles. Whether Mulroney advances any formal publishing plans remains unclear, and representatives for both Mulroney and Markle have not provided definitive comments on the matter. Still, the narrative of a former best friend with intimate knowledge of Meghan’s world and a potential tell-all remains a topic of conversation among observers and readers who follow the broader story of Meghan, Harry and the changing dynamics of their public lives.
