There has been increasing speculation that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is in talks for a lucrative $20 million partnership with Dior, and now experts suggest that Prince Harry could be following suit.
Observers of the royal family note that Prince Harry's recent appearances in the UK might hint at an impending collaboration with Dior. During the historic Coronation of King Charles in May, the Duke was seen wearing a Dior suit, and he subsequently donned a $1,000 Dior shirt for a High Court appearance in his ongoing legal battle against the Mirror Group Newspapers.
The attention received from Dior doesn't stop there. The fashion brand even took to Instagram to acknowledge Prince Harry's Coronation suit, posting a photo of him with the caption: "Tailoring fit for royalty.
Dior is honored to have dressed Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, for the Coronation of King Charles III in a custom design by Kim Jones."
Commenting on the potential collaboration, PR expert Mark Borkowski shared his thoughts, stating, "It's no coincidence that they are gravitating towards fashion. They feel more at ease in this world. Style over substance."
He added, "It does seem to be a series of intriguing coincidences: Harry wearing a Dior suit at the coronation and Dior during the hacking case, and now a deal may be on the horizon."
Brand specialist Nick Ede also chimed in, expressing his belief that Prince Harry would undoubtedly be part of the deal. Given Dior's strong reputation in men's fashion, Ede speculates that the fashion house would likely want to secure an exclusive partnership with both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Sources suggest that Meghan Markle is poised to sign a three-year contract with Dior, coinciding with the recent news that the Sussexes' business partnership with Spotify had come to an end, delivering a significant blow to their business endeavors.
