Meghan Markle's pageboy, John Mulroney, has suffered a serious injury during a skiing accident, his mother and the duchess's ex-pal, Jessica, announced.

The Canadian stylist took to social media to reveal that one of her twins, John, 14, broke his femur - the thigh bone - while skiing.

In an Instagram post containing pictures of her son in hospital as well as his X-ray, Ms Mulroney wrote: "Our brave John broke his femur skiing.

"Two hospitals, 5 days @sickkidstoronto and a surgery later, we feel so lucky that we can now tell the twins apart. Thank you for all the well wishes.

"John will be back in action soon enough."

She even posted a selfie of them together on her Instagram stories. Her followers rushed to the comment section to wish the teenager a speedy recovery.

John, alongside his twin Brian, both served as pageboys at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in 2018.

The duo are also older brothers to sister Isabel, 12.

Ms Mulroney used to be quite close to Meghan, with the duo regularly hanging out while the duchess was in Toronto filming Suits.

She would often post various snaps of the former actress while the two were holidaying around the world and enjoying a date together. She also attended the Sussex wedding in 2018.

The stylist, who is married to Canadian host Ben Mulroney who is the son of former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, even posted a snap of her and Meghan enjoying drinks just two days before the Sussexes's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey on March 7, 2021.

She captioned the post: "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."

But the two appeared to have a fallout after Ms Mulroney got embroiled in a "white privilege" row with Sasha Exeter - a black social media influencer, which took place in 2020.

Following Meghan's Instagram return last month, the stylist appears to have not followed her since then, while her last post made about the duchess was the one in 2021.
