Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly disappointed over her failure to secure a contract with high-end fashion brand Dior.<\/p>\n

According to a royal author, Meghan is desperate for an endorsement deal with a prestigious fashion house.<\/p>\n

Speculation had been rife that Meghan was in talks with the luxury French company for a potential collaboration.<\/p>\n

However, in a surprising turn of events, it was announced in November that the coveted role went to Meg Bellamy, who portrays Princess Catherine in season six of Netflix’s hit series, The Crown.<\/p>\n

Dior has since clarified that there were no discussions with Meghan regarding a contract.<\/p>\n

A source close to the situation told the Telegraph that the claims of Meghan partnering with the French fashion house were baseless.<\/p>\n

The team at Dior was perplexed as to how these rumors emerged.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, royal author Tom Bauer asserts that the Duchess of Sussex remains determined to secure a fashion deal.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Closer magazine, Bauer stated that Meghan has put in significant efforts to pursue this opportunity.<\/p>\n

He also praised her current appearance, noting her dedication to maintaining her impeccable style.<\/p>\n

Bauer believes that Meghan’s disappointment stems from her failure to land a contract with a brand like Dior.<\/p>\n

Christian Dior holds an esteemed position in the world of fashion and has had strong associations with various members of the royal family in the past.<\/p>\n

In June 2023, reports emerged that Meghan was in discussions with the French fashion house for a potential collaboration.<\/p>\n

This news followed the cancellation of Meghan’s Spotify podcast after just one season.<\/p>\n

Throughout her time as a working royal, Meghan has been seen wearing Dior on several occasions, including at the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth in September 2022.<\/p>\n

The question arises: did WME (William Morris Endeavor) create and fabricate the Dior Talks PR campaign?<\/p>\n

Dior has categorically denied any involvement with Meghan, and an insider from the fashion house expressed confusion regarding the origin of these rumors.<\/p>\n

It appears evident that there were no discussions between Dior and Meghan, or even Prince Harry, as Dior would have clarified otherwise.<\/p>\n

So, how did this baseless story come about?<\/p>\n

It is alleged that Meghan became aware of Dior’s search for potential brand ambassadors and celebrities for endorsement deals.<\/p>\n

This information may have been leaked by WME or someone within the industry who had knowledge of Dior’s confidential considerations.<\/p>\n

High-profile brands like Dior maintain strict confidentiality agreements to prevent other brands from poaching potential deals before they are finalized.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, a PR campaign was launched to create a false narrative that Meghan was being considered for a significant deal with Dior.<\/p>\n

However, Dior swiftly refuted these claims.<\/p>\n

In June, Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) reported that the narrative surrounding the story originated from Markle’s talent agency, William Morris Endeavor, which allegedly sought a high-profile fashion deal to counter negative publicity.<\/p>\n

Consequently, it is believed among the media that WME fabricated the story.<\/p>\n

Adding to the confusion, a recent report suggested that Harry and Meghan believe the royal family blocked the non-existent Dior deal.<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether this is another fabrication or if Meghan acted independently.<\/p>\n

Many find it unlikely that WME, a highly respected firm, would engage in such deceptive practices.<\/p>\n

Fabricating such a campaign would only tarnish their reputation and deter other brands from working with their clients.<\/p>\n

It is evident that Meghan has taken a more active role in managing the Sussexes’ public relations.<\/p>\n

Articles often coincide with royal family activities and serve as a platform for Meghan’s messaging.<\/p>\n

However, criticisms have been raised regarding the quality of her writing style, which some have dubbed “Meghanese.”<\/p>\n

In conclusion, Meghan Markle’s disappointment over her failure to secure a contract with Dior highlights her desire for a fashion endorsement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
