Jessica Mulroney Breaks Silence on Meghan Markle’s Alleged Acceptance of Free Clothes and Gifts

Jessica Mulroney, a close friend of Meghan Markle, has broken her silence after being shamed for so-called white privilege and cancelled by her employer ABC where she worked as a fashion contributor for Good Morning America.

The pair seemingly drifted apart, but Mulroney showed her support for the former royal by publishing a series of sweet throwback snaps of her and Meghan.

Apparently, Jessica used to get freebie dresses for Meghan to wear.

Further rumour is they used to bill Prince Charles' office for the clothes, which they got for free, and split the proceeds.

It is important to note that King Charles used to pay for both of his sons' households out of the Duchy of Cornwall money.

Further side point, the Middletons have always paid their way.

They paid for Catherine's wedding dress and contributed to the cost of the royal wedding.

William knew his future in-laws weren't freeloaders, as well as being discreet.

However, Meghan Markle allegedly broke rules on accepting gifts when she was a royal member.

The members of the royal family should never accept presents which might appear to place them under any obligation to the donor, according to official palace guidelines.

In his memoir, Prince Harry saves of Meghan, she shared all the freebies she received, clothes and perfumes and make-up with all the women in the office.

It's not the first time questions have been raised about Meghan's acceptance of presents while a working member of the royal family.

Expert Camilla Tominey, writing in the Telegraph, has said when Meghan first came on the scene, she expected to keep some of the dresses that she'd been loaned.

Rumours swirled that one reason Erdem prioritised Catherine's orders over Meghan's was due to Meghan's failing to return the Erdem dress that she'd been loaned for the 2017 Invictus Games.

Royal author Valentin Lowe in his 2021 book, Courtiers, claimed palace sources said clashes between Meghan and her assistant Melissa Tubati centred around free gifts some companies would send Meg.

Mr Lowe wrote, Tubati was apparently punctilious in following the household rule that members of the royal family cannot accept freebies from commercial organisations.

Her approach didn't go down well with Meghan.

God only knows what her response was, though it's easy to imagine, she likely screamed for Harry to let her have what she wanted.

What shouldn't have happened is him allowing her to treat people who work for Kensington Palace like trash.

There's a reason why there are allegations of bullying to begin with.

The Sun reported in 2021 that there were rows when the former suits actor was told by palace aides that keeping clothes sent by fashion labels was against royal protocol.

A source told the publication, As an actress, it was perfectly acceptable to take freebies sent by fashion chains and designer labels.

But Meghan had to be told that it wasn't the done thing when you're a member of the royal family.

So while Prince Harry may seek to portray his wife's generosity in relation to freebies, in spare he could have unwittingly confirmed reports the Duchess broke royal rules.

Miss Tomminy said, If it were true, it would amount to a serious breach of the rules on the receiving and registering of gifts.

Royal commentator Daniela Elsa, writing in News.com UK, said, The situation highlights what looks like the gulf that existed between the Duchess' view of royal life and palace protocol.
