Mystery British friend of Meghan Markle who appeared in Netflix documentary is ... trends now

A mystery British friend of Meghan Markle who appeared in the Duke and Duchess' Netflix documentary is actually a PR that she hired to help promote her now closed lifestyle blog.

Lucy Fraser's appearance on the series raised eyebrows as no-one appeared to know who she was but MailOnline has established she is Lucy Meadmore and attended Harry and Meghan's wedding in 2018.

She told the show how she had advised Meghan on how to deal with the British media and revealed how they had planned her 'single girl summer' in 2016 as they holidayed through Europe.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle rallied the troops to tout their 'side of the story' in their bombshell Netflix documentary - calling on everyone from tennis pro Serena Williams to Suits producers and former PAs to offer up emotive on-screen tales about their love story, their experiences within the royal family, and the Duchess' struggles with paparazzi. 

Many people shared glowing recollections of Meghan's talents as an actress, her warm personality - and backed up the Duchess's own stories about the sacrifices she had to make in order to make her relationship with Harry work, particularly when it came to the couple's battles with the paparazzi and press. 

It appears no stone was left unturned in the Sussexes' search for friends, family, and acquaintances eager to echo the couple's personal re-telling of 'their story'. 

But beyond their on-screen appearances and quotes, the line-up of friends, former colleagues, and ex-employees - including Meghan's old agent and assistant - reveals a glimpse into exactly who remains inside the Sussexes' inner circle. 

In the first three episodes of the programme, Doria Ragland, the Duchess of Sussex's mother, spoke on camera about her daughter's relationship with Prince Harry for the first time.

Fans were also introduced to a number of friends of the couple, with the likes of tennis great Serena Williams taking part, as well as Meghan's lawyer niece Ashleigh and Harry's polo playing model friend Ignacio.

Ahead of its release today, the streaming giant promised that 'friends and family' would give viewers a personal insight into the couple and their relationship. 

In the documentary, Lucy said she 'warned' her friend about the British press.
