Jessica Mulroney reflected on Meghan Markle’s royal wedding of May 2018 on Thursday, after Page Six reported this summer that her friendship is on the rocks.
In a photo posted on her Instagram account, the Canadian stylist – who returned to social media this month after being accused of “textbook white privilege” in June – shared a screenshot of then-bride Markle walking down the aisle to Prince Harry, as Mulroney’s two 10-year-old sons, Brian and John, served as page boys.
“I see this and pure joy,” the 40-year-old Mulroney wrote the post.
Mulroney, whose 7-year-old daughter Ivy also attended lavish weddings, has been friends with the Duchess of Sussex for years. They first crossed paths in Canada, where Markle, now 39, worked on the legal drama “Suits.” Earlier this summer, speculation surfaced that their friendship would break off.
“I do not know what the tipping point was, but Jess has been going on for a while,” a source told Page Six in June. “Their friendship is definitely not what it used to be. And really, how can you have such a close friendship when one person is basically making a career out of the friendship? “
Mulroney also came under fire this summer when she was accused of “very problematic behavior” by lifestyle blogger Sasha Exter.
In a clip posted on her Instagram page, Exeter detailed how she shared a “generic call to action” message about her story in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement. Exeter encouraged her followers to speak, and did not specifically exclaim anyone. She claimed that Mulroney was “offended”, believing that the message was aimed at her.
“Listen, I do not call Jess a racist at all, but what I will say is this: She is very aware of her wealth, her perceived power and privilege because of the color of her skin,” Exeter said in the video.
Mulroney apologized to Exeter on June 11, announcing she would step down from social media.
“I plan to use this time to reflect, learn and listen,” Mulroney said at the time.
In response to the allegations, “Good Morning America” severed ties with Mulroney and her husband, Ben Mulroney, stepped down from his post at CTV.
