Meghan Markle Shocks with Jewelry Swap at Invictus Games

In a surprising move, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, made headlines at the Invictus Games by swapping her $62,000 Lorraine Schwartz band for a Chiffon & Co. pinky ring.

The event, held in Germany, saw Harry's wife don an 18-carat white gold jewel with symbolic meaning.

The ring, retailing for $2,800, is said to represent women in sports, according to Chiffon & Co.

Interestingly, this change in jewelry was predicted by talent agency WME on Twitter beforehand.

However, it wasn't just a harmless prediction.

A source reveals that WME made a sarcastic remark about Meghan Markle, suggesting that she uses her jewelry to flaunt her wealth.

The source overheard a WME executive making the comment at a dinner in Brentwood, which was recorded.

The executive stated that if Markle wears a watch or bracelet, she will undoubtedly raise her arm for a picture, emphasizing her desire to showcase her riches.

WME's CEO also chimed in, affirming that Meghan Markle always wants to prove her wealth through her jewelry.

The CEO mocked her lack of class and highlighted the irony of her attempts to gain favor with celebrities and brands.

Despite her efforts, the CEO believes that Markle is merely gaining photo opportunities and not much else.

According to the CEO, everyone already knows who Meghan Markle truly is, and no amount of rebranding will change people's opinions.

It seems that WME took on Meghan Markle as a challenge, possibly due to a bet or a personal challenge from CEO Ari Emanuel.

Although the agency may not like her, they see potential for a significant payoff in the future.

Markle has signed with WME to promote her business and philanthropic endeavors, but she will have to pay the standard 10% commission on all deals, just like any other client of the agency.

Former friend and US celebrity Howie Mandel confirms that Markle won't receive preferential treatment from WME.

Mandel, who is also a client of the agency, explains that even with her royal connections, Markle will be expected to pay the agency's fees.

It is common practice for major Hollywood talent agencies to charge fees to charities and non-profits for their services.

While it remains unclear how WME will aid Markle's career, it is evident that she will have to pay for the agency's assistance.

Despite the skepticism surrounding Markle's partnership with WME, there are speculations that the agency has specific contracts in place to build her image.

These contracts likely require Markle to cover the costs and fees associated with image building.

This could explain the abundance of positive articles about her, as part of the agreement entails paying for the expenses incurred in shaping her public perception.

In conclusion, Meghan Markle's jewelry swap at the Invictus Games has sparked controversy and speculation.

While some admire her fashion choices, others question her motives and the role of WME in her career.

Regardless, Markle remains determined to make her mark in the entertainment industry, even if it means paying a hefty commission to her agency.

Only time will tell if this partnership will lead to the desired success for both Markle and WME.
