In a recent episode of GB News, Lady Colin Campbell, alongside host Dan Wooten and royal biographer Phil Dampier, discussed Meghan Markle’s rumored multi-million dollar deal with Dior and its implications for her independent career.
Lady C suggested that Meghan’s partnership with the William Morris Endeavour Agency (WME) was an attempt to distance herself from her royal identity and forge a new path.
However, she cautioned that we must separate fact from fiction and consider the potential profitability of such a deal.
Lady C revealed insights from well-placed contacts in Paris’ fashion industry, indicating that Meghan’s deal with Dior might not be as lucrative as she anticipates.
Due to her perceived status as “damaged goods,” Meghan may not earn significantly from this partnership.
Dior, on the other hand, is deemed more crucial to Meghan’s brand than vice versa.
Lady C further highlighted the connection between Johnny Depp and Meghan, suggesting that Dior signing Meghan could have negative consequences for the fashion house.
Adding to Meghan’s career challenges, it was revealed that she has been dropped by Spotify.
WME, however, had foreseen this development and has been working on rebranding for weeks.
Lady C drew a parallel between Johnny Depp’s reinstatement and a potential turnaround for Meghan.
She emphasized that fashion houses primarily generate revenue from fragrances rather than clothing, and all celebrities they sign are expected to be stellar.
If Dior were to sign Meghan, it could be seen as a downward trajectory for the brand.
Lady C expressed skepticism about Meghan’s credibility, stating that one can never believe everything she says.
Despite this, Meghan is known for her ability to navigate her public relations team and present herself skillfully in front of cameras.
While she may not possess the talent for podcast content creation, she thoroughly enjoys being in front of a camera.
Consequently, she aspires to become the face of a fashion house, which aligns with her partnership with WME.
The confirmation of Meghan’s partnership with WME in April was shared via an Instagram post by the agency.
Lady C revealed that WME bosses are now disappointed and realize that Meghan lacks talent.
Nevertheless, Meghan’s determination and love for being in front of a camera drive her to hustle as if she possesses the necessary skills.
Lady C speculated that WME took her on due to her ethnicity, hoping to make a success story out of her.
However, Meghan’s perceived awkwardness and previous criticism from Prince William hindered her rise to stardom.
Lady C also addressed sportscaster Bill Simmons’ description of Harry and Meghan as “grifters” and whether this label would stick.
She acknowledged that there is some truth to the description, as Harry has adeptly exploited the British system to avoid tax obligations.
Lady C did not contest the “grifter” label and suggested that Simmons’ revelations had exposed Meghan’s true nature and delusions of grandeur.
In conclusion, Meghan’s potential career shift away from her royal ties raises questions about her value to prospective partners.
While she aims to establish herself independently, doubts persist regarding the profitability of her endeavors.
Despite criticisms and challenges, Meghan remains determined to be in front of cameras and hopes to become the face of a fashion house.
However, her credibility and talent have come under scrutiny, leaving many to question the motives behind her partnerships.
