Meghan Markle’s Former Friends: From Bridesmaids to Shade Brigade

Rumors swirl of a tell-all documentary where Meghan’s ex-inner circle could expose the duchess in ways Hollywood never scripted.

By Behind the CurtainPublished 4 months ago 3 min read



In the glitzy hills of Montecito, California, drama isn’t just a Netflix export—it’s brewing in Meghan Markle’s own backyard. For years, Meghan’s carefully curated image as Duchess, mother, and lifestyle brand entrepreneur has been the talk of tabloids and tea circles alike. But the latest rumor taking flight suggests the spotlight could shift away from Meghan’s perfectly crafted speeches and glossy photoshoots to something far less flattering: her former best friends are allegedly considering a joint documentary that could flip the script on her narrative.

If true, it reads like a reality TV crossover nobody asked for, yet everyone secretly wants to see. Imagine “Mean Girls” colliding with “Revenge of the Bridesmaids,” but rebranded with California chic décor and the kind of backstabbing that tabloids thrive on.

The Jessica Mulroney Factor

At the center of this speculation sits Jessica Mulroney, Meghan’s once-closest confidante. Jessica wasn’t just a friend—she was practically royal-adjacent. Her children played a key role at Meghan’s 2018 wedding, carrying the bridal train as if they were luxury accessories. The friendship looked unshakable until 2020, when Jessica faced backlash for what critics called “white privilege on display.”

The fallout was swift. Jessica lost television jobs, brand partnerships, and, according to insiders, Meghan’s loyalty. The duchess reportedly distanced herself overnight, leading to whispers of betrayal. Now, rumors suggest Jessica may be ready to speak out, possibly even through a memoir deal worth millions. For a friendship that once looked unbreakable, the fracture couldn’t be more public.

Stassi Schroeder: From Superfan to Shade-Thrower

Another name tied to Meghan’s “ex-squad” is reality TV personality Stassi Schroeder. Once proclaiming herself Meghan’s biggest fan, she has since flipped the narrative after allegedly being excluded from Meghan’s lifestyle brand promo circle. Stassi vented frustrations on her podcast, even making the ultimate millennial breakup move: unfollowing Meghan on social media.

Critics called it petty, while supporters argued it exposed Meghan’s selective generosity. In today’s digital world, silence on Instagram often speaks louder than words, and Meghan’s silence has fueled the whispers.

Millie Mackintosh: The Early Exit

The third figure reportedly tied to this unfolding drama is Millie Mackintosh, known from British reality TV. Her story dates back to Meghan’s pre-royal days. Millie congratulated Meghan on her engagement to Prince Harry, but instead of friendship, she claims she received a cold shoulder. Allegedly told to “back off,” Millie quietly stepped away. Now, years later, her side of the story could resurface in a documentary format that reshapes the public’s understanding of Meghan’s rise.

The Documentary Buzz

Together, these three women—and possibly more former friends—are rumored to be in talks for a collective documentary project. The alleged concept? Pulling back the curtain on Meghan’s social climb, ghosted friendships, and unfiltered personality.

Industry insiders say platforms like Hulu or Amazon Prime might be eyeing the project, though Netflix could pass due to its existing multimillion-dollar deal with Meghan and Prince Harry. If the documentary ever materializes, it could become a cultural spectacle, not because of high production values, but because of its raw, reality-TV-style messiness.

Beyond the Headlines

It’s important to note that Meghan’s so-called “frenemies” aren’t exactly innocent in this saga. Jessica Mulroney’s controversies predate her fallout with Meghan. Stassi Schroeder has her own history of public scandals. Millie Mackintosh is no stranger to reality TV dramatics. In other words, this isn’t a story of saints versus sinners—it’s more like clashing egos, bruised pride, and Hollywood’s eternal thirst for relevance.

But the appeal of such a documentary isn’t about morality. It’s about spectacle. Audiences crave the raw honesty—or at least the perception of it—that comes when NDAs expire and former allies decide to “spill or die.” For Meghan, a woman whose brand rests heavily on control of her image, that could be far more damaging than tabloid gossip.

The Bigger Picture

Whether or not this alleged project comes to life, one truth is undeniable: Meghan Markle polarizes. To some, she’s a survivor who challenged outdated royal norms. To others, she’s a master manipulator who discards people once they’ve served their purpose. The idea that her former friends might unite to tell their version of events feels symbolic. It’s less about truth and more about reclaiming a narrative.

In the end, Meghan’s ex-inner circle may never actually share their stories on camera. Hollywood is full of half-baked pitches and exaggerated headlines. But the very fact that this rumor resonates so loudly says a lot about public fascination with Meghan Markle. Love her or loathe her, people can’t look awa
