During a surprise visit to the UK, the Duke of Sussex was seen wearing a Christian Dior shirt, which has led many to speculate that he has entered into a designer sponsorship deal.
This move is seen as a departure from Harry's typically more casual style, and has been interpreted by some as a nod to his wife's fashion preferences.
Royal watchers have noted that the Duke's choice of attire was especially notable given the context of his visit. Harry was attending a High Court hearing in London as part of his claim against Daily Mail publisher Associated Newspapers over allegations of unlawful information-gathering.
Celebrity stylist and royal fashion expert Miranda Holder has shared her thoughts on the matter, stating that it is "highly likely" that Harry and Meghan have an arrangement with the fashion house. According to Holder, the couple would make ideal ambassadors for the brand, and a sponsorship deal would provide them with a convenient passive income stream.
While some have praised Harry's sartorial curveball, others have expressed surprise at the Duke's decision to wear a designer brand to a court appearance. Miranda Holder notes that while designer sponsorship deals are commonplace, the move could be seen as too flashy for Harry's normally understated personal style.
