Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been making headlines on a daily basis following the release of his explosive memoir, Spare.

The controversial book was officially released on 10 January – although it went on sale early in Spain – with the Prince also recording a number of tell-all interviews as part of the promotional trail.

While a number of Harry and Meghan's friends have spoken out in support of the couple, there is one very notable person who has kept quiet – Jessica Mulroney.

Meghan and Jessica were once incredibly close. They established a strong bond when Meghan moved to Canada to film Suits, and Jessica's three children even took on a prominent role at Meghan's wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.

This week she shared two very sweet snapshots showing her with her youngest child, nine-year-old daughter Ivy. Jessica also shares 12-year-old twin boys, Brian and John, with husband Ben Mulroney.

The pictures show mother and daughter side-by-side and looking at the camera, dressed in cosy matching grey knits.

Ivy is sticking out her tongue, which has been stained, as her mother explained in the caption: "To ring pop or not to ring pop."

Fans adored the candid selfies. "Two peas in a pod," wrote one, while a second added: "You and your mini-me… precious!" A third stated: "That's the most beautiful little girl."

Meghan, meanwhile, has been keeping a low-profile following the release of her husband's book. With such a big divide between the couple and the royal family, it is not yet known whether the couple will be in attendance at King Charles's coronation when it takes place on 6 May.
