And after DailyMail.com published this story, Mulroney deleted the post altogether. 

The 41-year-old was contacted for comment by DailyMail.com.

Toronto-based Mulroney has endured a torrid year, after being accused of 'racist bullying' of a black influencer in the wake of the murder of George Floyd.

Sasha Exeter claimed Mulroney 'took personal offence' when she asked bloggers to use their platform to promote Black Lives Matter and that private messages between the pair had left her 'paralyzed with fear'.

Mulroney later apologized but was stripped of several TV gigs, including a fashion slot on Good Morning America.

The row also led to an estrangement between Meghan and Mulroney, with the Duchess of Sussex telling friends at the time that she did not want to get involved.

'Meghan is absolutely mortified that she's been dragged into this complete mess,' a close friend told DailyMail.com at the time.

'She said Jessica is in no way a racist, but the way she handled the situation with was tone-deaf and heartbreaking.

'Meghan said friends reflect friends and because of what's at stake she can no longer be associated with Jessica, at least not in public.'

Mulroney and Meghan had been best friends since meeting after Meghan moved to Toronto in 2011 to film legal drama Suits.

She was among the guests at St. George's Chapel in Windsor when Meghan and Harry married, while her daughter Ivy was one of the bridesmaids.

Mulroney is also believed to be among the 'five friends' who briefed People magazine for a gushing 2018 story on Meghan that slammed her father Thomas Markle Sr, 76, for his outbursts in the media.

She also attended Meghan's lavish baby shower in New York ahead of the birth of first child Archie in May 2019.

But the pair have not spent time together since the Sussex's move to California and their friendship has noticeably cooled since the race row.

Although Mulroney has posted photos of flowers sent to her by Meghan, she recently dedicated a post to her 'best friends' – leaving the Duchess of Sussex out.

She did come to her defense in the wake of the Oprah interview in March, writing on Instagram: 'I don't know that anyone has ever had to deal with the pressure, the politics and the press like this woman.

'In the face of it all, I have never seen her waver from kindness, empathy and love.'
