Meghan Markle’s Potential Deal with Dior: A Closer Look
In the aftermath of Prince Harry donning Dior attire to his father King Charles' coronation, speculations emerged suggesting that Meghan Markle might soon become a brand ambassador for the renowned fashion house.
This would place her in the esteemed company of Natalie Portman, Jennifer Lawrence, and Anya Taylor-Joy.
However, a spokesperson for Dior in Paris swiftly dismissed these reports, emphasizing that there have been no contract negotiations or recent contact with Markle.
The team at the French couture house, as revealed by a source within Dior, is perplexed as to how this story came about, as reported by the Telegraph.
Emily, a journalist and raw commentator, echoed the skepticism surrounding Meghan's potential ambassadorship.
Citing media reports, she expressed doubt that Markle would indeed join the ranks of Dior ambassadors.
Emily proceeded to quote a source who claimed that Meghan embodies everything that Delphine, Arnold's CEO of Dior, despises in a person.
Delphine's aesthetic preference aligns more closely with Kate than with Meghan.
Adding to the intrigue, a clip resurfaced from a low-budget crime drama featuring Meghan.
In the film titled “Antisocial,” which was released in the UK in 2015 and only shown on 40 screens, Meghan portrayed a fashion model named Kirsten.
The scene in question showcases Meghan posing for a perfume ad.
Recently shared on a Reddit thread, this clip gained attention following reports of the Duchess's potential collaboration with Dior, a brand renowned for its luxury fragrances.
The film revolves around gang warfare and follows the story of Dee, played by Greg Sulkin, a graffiti artist, and his girlfriend Kirsten.
Dee's brother Marcus, portrayed by Josh Myers, is a daring diamond thief who becomes entangled in a deadly gang war.
While Dee and Kirsten have the opportunity for a better life when the art scene recognizes Dee's talent, Marcus heads in the opposite direction, igniting violence.
Throughout her time as a working royal, Meghan frequently wore Dior, including during the celebration of the Royal Air Force's 100th birthday, a royal visit to Morocco, and Archie's christening.
She also chose Dior for significant events such as the National Service of Thanksgiving during Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee and Queen Elizabeth's funeral.
Dior has a longstanding connection with the royal family, particularly through Princess Diana, whom they honored by renaming one of their bags after her.
Princess Margaret was also dressed by Dior, and Christian Dior himself described her as a delicate, graceful, and exquisite fairy princess who epitomized the public's fascination with royalty.
While Markle's potential collaboration with Christian Dior is making headlines, sources suggest that she may also be interested in signing a deal with the French jewelry company Cartier.
Experts speculate that Meghan's inclination toward fashion partnerships indicates a shift from being an advocate for social issues to embracing her role as a fashion icon.
It is highly likely that Harry will also be involved in any agreement with Dior, as the fashion house would be eager to have a royal promoting its menswear range.
Some interpret Harry's choice to wear a Christian Dior suit to his father's coronation as a subtle endorsement for his wife or a personal endeavor to secure work opportunities.
Notably, he previously wore a $1000 Dior Bee shirt during a court appearance and also sported Dior at the UN last year.
PR guru Mark Bukowski commented on the situation, stating that it remains unclear whether a deal with Dior has already been finalized or if the Sussexes are actively seeking one.
He acknowledged the couple's significant influence in the fashion industry, emphasizing that they are highly sought after by fashion houses.
Bukowski noted that it is often easier to be a fashion icon than an advocate for social causes.
