Meghan Markle has been criticised for her 'strategic friendship' with former best friend Jessica Mulroney. Royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths has taken a swipe at the Duchess of Sussex's approach to friendships.Griffiths labelled the relationship between Meghan and Jessica as a "strategic friendship", criticising the ex-Suits actress's seeming inability to maintain friendships.
She highlighted the Duchess's reputation for "unfriending her friends", particularly in light of the apparent growing distance between Jessica and Meghan in recent years.The Royal expert also referred to the Urban Dictionary term "Markled", defined as someone who distances themselves from a friendship after it has significantly impacted their life, reports the Mirror.While appearing on Palace Confidential, Griffiths commented: "[She's unfriended] family members, Suits co-stars, her best friend Jessica Mulroney whose children were page boys at the royal wedding."This comes following an alleged fallout between the two in 2020.
A source told Page Six that the Duchess believed Mulroney was attempting to "make a career out of the friendship".Griffiths remarked: "For somebody who is actually famous for unfriending her friends or casting aside her friends, it's amazing that she cited the word friendship in the blurb for this documentary that's sort of been leaked out.
I think she's a bit strategic with her friends and once she's finished with them, she casts them aside and forgets all about them, deletes their number and blocks their number in some cases."Meghan Markle is currently busy filming for her latest Netflix project, which is said to revolve around cooking and gardening themes.
