Meghan invited Jessica to her fairytale wedding

In 2019, Meghan invited a group of close female friends to her lavish baby shower in NYC. Jessica featured on the guest list alongside the likes of Serena Williams, Amal Clooney and Gayle King.

Despite their close bond, Meghan and Jessica had a reported falling out in 2020 when influencer Sasha Exeter called out Jessica for displaying "textbook white privilege" within the fashion blogging community. And when Jessica apologised, citing Meghan as one of her "closest friends", the Duchess reportedly put an end to their friendship.

What has Meghan said about her?

Whilst Jessica has yet to make an appearance in Harry and Meghan's docuseries, Meghan did refer to her close friend in one particularly touching moment.
