Meghan Markle’s maid of honor after her wedding to Trevor Engelson revealed how she made a crucial decision that ended her lifelong friendship with the “very calculated” royal family.

Meghan Markle has become somewhat famous for dumping friends… Jessica MulroneyDavid and Victoria Beckham and her Suits co-stars to name a few.

The Duchess of Sussex’s name has even been used in the Urban Dictionary – an online lexicon of slang – to describe ‘abandoning someone or something after they have contributed to your life in a meaningful way’, calling the action cruel labeled as ‘Markled’.

The most famous ‘Markled’ is her father Thomas, 79, after he sold paparazzi photos of himself preparing for his daughter’s wedding.

Even stylist Jessica Mulroney, Meghan’s former ‘Best Friend Forever’, whose children were in the Sussexes’ wedding party, has fallen by the wayside.

Since Jessica became embroiled in a racist feud with a social media influencer in 2020, she has not been photographed in public with Meghan.

But she’s not the only best friend to have fallen out with the Duchess of Sussex; Prince Harry’s wife and her childhood best friend Ninaki Priddy reportedly fell out over Meghan’s treatment of her first husband Trevor Engelson.

Ninaki was a bridesmaid at Meghan’s first wedding in 2011 in Jamaica, and the two were inseparable from their first days in Hollywood’s private Little Red School House, when they were two years old.

They then moved on together at the age of 11 to Immaculate Heart all-girls school in Los Angeles, where their extraordinary sisterly bond ultimately lasted 31 years.

But the couple decided to go their separate ways after Ninaki disapproved of the way Meghan split with Trevor.

The Duchess reportedly started dating dashing celebrity chef Cory Vitiello, who also lives in Toronto, in 2014, a few months after her divorce from Trevor.

“I tried to get details from her, but she wouldn’t tell me,” Ninaki told The Daily Mail in 2017. “What came to light after Trevor and I spoke ended my friendship with Meghan. I think everyone who knew them both was in shock.”

Ninaki explained how she spoke to Trevor a month after the divorce in 2013, insisting he would have ‘walked the earth to make their marriage work’.

Meghan was based in Toronto filming the hit US legal drama Suits, while film producer Trevor lived in LA during their marriage.

‘I don’t think she gave him enough chances. “I think there was an element of ‘out of sight, out of mind’ for Meghan,” Ninaki said.

“The way she handled it, Trevor definitely had the rug pulled out from under him. He was injured.’

Ninaki talked about how there was ‘Meghan Before Fame and Meghan After Fame’, with the then actress ‘turning down lunch with us because she said she would be recognised’ after just two seasons of Suits.

She said, “Maybe she had started to change before, but I refused to see it. The tone of her voice, her mannerisms, the way she laughed no longer seemed real to me.

‘…I felt like if I questioned her behavior I would be left out. Sometimes the truth isn’t always what you want, right?

‘Her time became more and more important. If she was in town, she would want you to drop everything to see her. If I was busy it would be, ‘Why don’t you want to see me? I’m here. Let chill!”

“There were instances where I felt like she was given a sense of entitlement by being on the show.”

She explained how the duo started talking less and less to each other – and after her conversation with Trevor about the divorce, Ninaki tried to talk to Meghan, but she “wouldn’t confide in me.”

‘It was clear to me that she was no longer the friend I grew up with. She had a new circle of friends.”

Ninaki added: “All I can say now is that I think Meghan was calculated – very calculated – in the way she dealt with people and relationships.

“She’s very strategic in the way she cultivates circles of friends. Once she decides that you are not part of her life, she can be very cold. It’s this closure mechanism that she has. There is nothing to negotiate. She made her decision and that’s it.’

Ninaki recalled her close friendship with the Duchess, saying it was “always Niki and Meg.” We were so close that we came as two.”

She added: “We were both daughters of honor in each other’s house. We were like family. We had the kind of love you have for a sister. The end of our friendship was like death.

‘I mourned it for a long time. Even now I pass a magazine stand and see a face staring back at me that was such a big part of my life.”

Another of Meghan’s former BFFs is Canadian stylist Jessica Mulroney, 43, who met the Duchess of Sussex, 42, on the set of Suits in Toronto.

After Meghan met Prince Harry and moved to Britain, the couple remained extremely close.

However, their friendship appeared to cool in 2020 when Jessica became embroiled in a social media firestorm in which she was accused of demonstrating “white privilege” in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement – ​​and they haven’t been seen together since.

Lifestyle blogger Sasha Exeter called out Jessica Mulroney, who “took offense” to a “generic call to action” post Sasha shared about the Black Lives Matter movement.

In a follow-up video, Sasha said: ‘What happened next was a series of very problematic behavior and antics […]

“I am by no means calling Jess a racist, but what I will say is this: she is very aware of her wealth, perceived power and privilege because of the color of her skin and that, my friends, temporarily gave her confidence. to provide for my living in writing. A textbook example of white privilege, in my personal opinion.’

Following the blogger’s claims, Jessica issued three public apologies, but she still faced repercussions and was abandoned by numerous television networks.

DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that ABC had cut ties with her, confirming that Jessica would not return to her occasional role as a fashion contributor on Good Morning America.

Canadian TV network CTV also cut ties with the stylist, revealing it would be pulling all episodes of her wedding-themed reality TV show I Do Redo from its platform.

Despite their close relationship, insiders claimed the Duchess had permanently cut ties with Jessica after becoming embroiled in a racing feud with the influencer.

An insider told Page Six that the duo’s relationship was already on the rocks because Meghan felt like Jessica was “trying to turn the friendship into a career.”

“The white privilege row has really given Meghan the excuse she was waiting for to cut Jess off for good,” the source said. “I don’t know what the turning point was, but Jess has been on the run for a while.”

In September 2020, Jessica addressed the rumors of a rift between her and the Duchess of Sussex.

She wrote on her Instagram Stories: ‘I’m going to tell this once and for all. Meghan and I are family. She is the nicest friend and comes to see me every day.’

Six months later, Jessica shared a photo to an Instagram Story of the flowers she received from Meghan on her 41st birthday, writing, “LUCKIEST FRIEND XXXX, THX MM.”

However, the following year it became increasingly clear to fans that the friendship between Meghan and Jessica had soured.

In June 2021, the mother of three posted a cryptic quote to her Instagram Story, saying, “Life changes. You lose love. You lose friends. You lose pieces of yourself that you never thought would be gone.

‘And then, without even realizing it, those pieces come back. New love comes in. Better friends will come. And a stronger, wiser you stares back into the mirror.”

The following year, Jessica posted a photo of a sign that read, “You’re not too sensitive. You’re not overreacting. If it hurts you, it hurts you.”

She captioned the post: “I wish I would have seen this a long time ago. I hope it makes a difference in your day too.’

Since then, Jessica has continued to post cryptic messages on social media, including one in which she told her followers that she is “detachment strong.”
