A prominent Canadian stylist has reportedly expressed second thoughts about her former close association with a royal figure, suggesting the friendship ultimately contributed to personal and professional difficulties.
Sources indicate the stylist believes her current unhappiness stems from her involvement in the 2018 royal wedding, where her children served in the wedding party. While acknowledging the initial benefits of the high-profile connection, she now reportedly views that period as a “dark cloud” over her life.
The stylist’s marriage of 16 years recently ended, with insiders suggesting tensions had been building for some time. These difficulties reportedly intensified following a 2020 controversy where the stylist was accused of inappropriate behavior toward a Black influencer during racial justice protests.
The incident involved allegations that the stylist threatened legal action against the influencer after being called out for what was described as “performative” support of social justice causes. Despite issuing a public apology, the stylist faced additional criticism when private messages revealed she continued to confront the accuser.
The controversy proved damaging to multiple relationships, including the once-close bond with the royal figure. Sources indicate the royal was particularly offended when the stylist referenced their friendship during the dispute, viewing it as inappropriate use of their personal connection.
The friendship between the two women, once considered unbreakable, has reportedly been permanently severed following these events.
