Jessica shared the image to her Instagram without a caption and disabled comments on the post in a cryptic move.
It is the first time that the stylist has recognized the Harry and Meghan docuseries, where she is mentioned by name.

Meghan and Jessica were reportedly inseparable from the moment they met on the set of the TV show Suits, however reports in recent years have speculated that their friendship may be in jeopardy.
Their daughter Ivy was one of the few girls to serve as Meghan’s bridesmaids, appearing in several scenes on the Harry and Meghan Netflix series.
In one episode, footage from the night the Sussexes got engaged in 2017 airs.
Moments before Prince Harry popped the question in the walled garden of Kensington Palace, the former Suits star appears to have video called Toronto-based Jessica.
As she approached the stage, Meghan said: ‘Oh my gosh, Jess, it’s happening. She told me not to look.
‘Jess’ is believed to refer to celebrity hairstylist Jessica, who was one of Meghan’s closest friends before the couple’s possible breakup following Jessica’s comments about ‘white privilege’.
The footage then jumps to a never-before-seen clip of Prince Harry’s romantic proposal kneeling and surrounded by 15 electric candles.
The Toronto-based stylist, 40, was among the Duchess’s best friends when she lived as an actress in Canada and, at one point, the pair were so close that Meghan even called Jessica the night Prince Harry gave her proposed marriage.
From helping her choose her dress to coordinating the plans, Jessica was a key player in Meghan and Harry’s wedding in 2018, and both their sons and daughter even joined in on the celebration.
On the day of the royal wedding, Jessica shared snapshots on Instagram and captioned the post: ‘Proud friend. Proud mom.’
Later, a palace insider even suggested to the Mail on Sunday that Meghan frequently relied on the stylist when she and Harry began to solidify their plans to step down as royals.
The source said: “Jessica was more influential on ‘Megxit’ than anyone really realized.”
Following the announcement that Harry and Meghan were leaving the royal family, Jessica said: “A strong woman looks a challenge in the eye and winks.”
Meghan and Jessica appeared to have drifted apart in 2020 when lifestyle blogger Sasha Exeter called out the style guru for comments she made about “white privilege” while the couple chatted about the Black Lives Matters movement.
Although Jessica denied being racist, Sasha claimed the stylist left her ‘paralyzed with fear’.
Before their rumored showdown in 2020, Meghan (left) and Jessica (right) were believed to be very close friends.
The Netflix special is full of personal moments, including Harry and Meghan’s engagement, where the former TV star phoned Jessica, before Harry proposed, and told her “it’s happening.”
After the blogger’s claims, Jessica issued three public apologies, however, she still faced consequences and was written off by numerous television networks.
DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that ABC has severed ties with her, confirming that Jessica would not be returning to her occasional role as a fashion contributor on Good Morning America.
Canadian television network CTV has also cut ties with the stylist, revealing that it would remove all episodes of her reality wedding show I Do Redo from its platform.
The rocky waters for Jessica continued as she was later accused of using Meghan as her ‘superpower’, however she denied this was true and refused to discuss the Duchess during interviews.
As the backlash against Jessica mounted, Meghan remained quiet and distant about it.
Toronto-based influencer Sasha Exeter said she was “paralyzed with fear” and “stayed up days and nights” worried about what Jessica (right) “might be saying to my existing brand partners, potential work , potential sustenance”. The couple argued about racism and Mulroney apparently did not use her voice enough in a private exchange believed to have occurred via Instagram direct messages.
Meanwhile, Jessica hasn’t made any acknowledgment of Prince Harry or the book on her Instagram page, instead sharing a post about a pair of Nike sneakers.
A source told the Daily Mail that their friendship is no longer “what it once was”, adding that this was because the couple “just broke up” and not because of the fallout between Jessica and Sasha.
The source added: ‘Of course, Meghan has been worried about Jess. She will always have love for her.
However, Jessica was not given a spot for an interview in the explosive Netflix docu-series, despite some of Meghan’s other closest friends making numerous appearances.
Meanwhile, Harry doesn’t mention her in the book and hasn’t mentioned Jessica in any of his interviews publicizing the tome.
This comes despite the fact that he has used the interviews to defend Lady Susan Hussey, who was embroiled in a high-profile election dispute last month.
Revealing that his wife Meghan thinks the godmother to Prince William, who was a lady-in-waiting to the late Queen, is ‘great’, the Duke declared: ‘I love Susan Hussey’, even though she stepped down from her honorary role in Buckingham Palace after repeatedly asking the head of the black charity Ngozi Fulani where she came from.
And in turn, Jessica, a prolific social media user with 414,000 Instagram followers, did not comment on the Prince Harry book when it was published last week. Instead, she shared an Instagram story about a pair of Nike sneakers.
