Megan Markle is reportedly disappointed by her failure to secure a high-end fashion brand deal and is actively seeking an endorsement with a prestigious fashion house.
A royal author previously suggested that Megan was in talks with a luxury French company, but it was later revealed that she lost out to Meg Bellamy for a Dior deal. Despite Dior denying any discussions with Megan, royal author Tom Bower claims that she remains keen on a fashion deal and is actively pursuing one.
Bower acknowledged Megan's efforts and her current striking appearance but highlighted her disappointment in not landing a contract.
Christian Dior, a renowned name in fashion associated with various members of the royal family, was rumored to be in discussions with Megan in June 2023. However, Dior insiders denied any such talks and expressed confusion about the origin of the story.
The fashion house refuted claims that Megan was in negotiations for a deal, raising questions about the accuracy of the information circulated. Speculations arose about whether the story was fabricated by Megan's talent agency, William Morris Endeavor (WME), in an attempt to counter negative publicity.
WME was implicated in media narratives that suggested the agency and Dior were pursuing a significant fashion deal to mitigate negative coverage. However, the collapse of the rumored deal prompted doubts about the credibility of the information.
A subsequent report in Deadline suggested that Harry and Megan believed the royal family had blocked the nonexistent DI deal, further adding confusion to the narrative. While WME was initially suspected of fabricating stories, questions linger about whether Megan acted independently in promoting false information.
The intricate web of conflicting reports raises suspicions about Megan's involvement in crafting the PR narrative, particularly when it coincides with royal family activities and events. The uncertainty surrounding the origin of these stories, coupled with denials from reputable sources like Dior, underscores the challenges in discerning the truth amid the intricate world of celebrity public relations.
