Meghan Markle’s ex-close friend, Jessica Mulroney, has reportedly turned down a significant sum of over $1 million (£740,000) for a potential memoir deal regarding their fallout. The rift between Jessica, 45, and the Duchess of Sussex, 44, began in 2020 following Jessica’s public stance on the Black Lives Matter movement, leading to a gradual breakdown in their once tight-knit relationship.
Despite the opportunity to share her version of events through a memoir, Jessica remains adamant about not revealing details about her and Meghan’s fallout, a decision she has communicated to the media. Jessica, a mother of three known for her fashion expertise on TV shows like Good Morning America, is cautious about engaging in actions that may appear vindictive amidst the ongoing dispute, sources reveal.
Sources speculate that Jessica is deliberating on her next steps given Meghan’s influence and their shared connections. While Jessica was instrumental in keeping Meghan’s relationship with a prince secret when they first met in Toronto during Meghan’s Suits filming days, their fallout post the Black Lives Matter controversy has strained their bond, impacting Jessica’s career trajectory significantly.
Despite the potential for a lucrative book deal, Jessica is expected to steer clear of any scandalous revelations. Notably, Prince Harry’s book Spare, released in January 2023, did not mention Jessica. Interest in Jessica’s perspective, however, remains high within the publishing industry.
Publishers are reportedly eager to secure Jessica’s narrative, with speculations of a seven-figure payout depending on the content she chooses to disclose. Jessica, originally from Westmount, Canada, was notably excluded from Meghan’s recent project, With Love, Meghan, indicating the deepening divide between the once close confidantes.
