Coronavirus quarantines Meghan Markle's BFF Jessica Mulroney on her 40th birthday

Meghan Markle 's best friend Jessica Mulroney had to spend her 40th birthday in isolation due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The Canadian stylist had her milestone birthday on Saturday but was quarantined among attempts across the globe to slow down the spread of the fatal virus.

Posting to her 385,000 followers on Instagram, the mum-of-three showed that she wasn't going to let a global pandemic spoil her big day.

She posted: "Quarantine birthday is the new rage and I'm not mad about it."

It is believed that Jessica herself is not presenting any symptoms but she is reportedly friends with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's wife Sophie, who has tested positive for coronavirus and is currently battling it in isolation herself.

Sophie is one of over 330 Canaidians who have tested positive to Covid-19 and Jessica is hired as her stylist, hence her decision to self-isolate.

Jessica's 40th was still celebrated, with her husband Ben, the son of former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, posting a sweet tribute to his wife.

He called her "the most generous and giving soul I have ever met" in his gushing Instagram post.

Sharing a black and white photo of his wife, the TV host captioned it: "If she has a flaw, it’s that she never puts herself first (also, she may have an issue turning the lights off). She is the most generous and giving soul I have ever met.

"Today was no different. The night before her birthday and days before the premiere of her show, she met a couple on Instagram and felt she needed to help them have the wedding of their dreams.

"Happy birthday, Jessie. May your day be as special as you make me feel all the time."

Jessica became good friends with the Duchess of Sussex when Meghan was living in Toronto while filming Suits.

A love of yoga brought them together and they were often pictured on Instagram as their friendship blossomed.

The pair remained close and when Meghan married Prince Harry, it was Jessica's twin sons who carried the veil as Meghan walked into St George's Chapel.

Jessica's daughter Ivy was a flower girl alongside Princess Charlotte.
