Megan Markle reportedly expressed frustration at the timing of a new major brand deal awarded to Meg Bellamy, who portrays Katherine, the Princess of Wales, in the latest season of the popular Netflix series "The Crown."
Despite the Sussexes initiating conversations with the fashion house for a potential deal, sources suggest that talks were abruptly halted once Bellamy secured the endorsement. Prince Harry, who had previously worn a suit from the brand to King Charles's coronation, and Megan believe the royal family is involved in thwarting their significant brand deals, according to reports.
The Sussexes conveyed to the Daily Express that they were engaged in discussions with prominent brands, which, despite not materializing into deals, should have resulted in collaborations.
Showbiz and Royal reporter Kinsey Scoffield shared on GB News that Bellamy securing the endorsement over Megan Marle adds insult to injury, especially considering the rumored disagreements between Megan and Princess Katherine during their time as senior working Royals before the Sussexes stepped down in 2020.
The Sussexes believe that conversations with high-profile brands were intentionally hindered by the royal family, alleging active interference in their business endeavors.
Adding to the contentious relationship between Megan Markle and Princess Kate, Scoffield highlighted the irony of Bellamy, the actress portraying Kate Middleton in "The Crown," becoming the new face of the brand.
Rumors circulating about Megan potentially becoming the brand's ambassador only intensified the suspicion surrounding the timing of Bellamy's endorsement. The source emphasized the questionable nature of the situation, suggesting that Dior may be indirectly trolling Megan Markle over past yacht-related controversies.
Meg Bellamy recently shared her experience aboard a Parisian yacht for a wellness excursion with Dior Beauty, promoting a comprehensive focus on mental, emotional, and physical well-being. The cruise offered tailored programs in detox, balance, anti-aging, relaxation, and power, featuring Dior beauty products.
The timing of Bellamy's association with the brand, coinciding with Megan's rumored discussions, raises speculation and reinforces the ongoing tensions between the Sussexes and the royal family in the realm of commercial partnerships.
