However, a source within the fashion brand has debunked the rumor, stating that the team at Dior is perplexed about how the story originated. Meghan Markle's spokesperson also clarified that contrary to reports, Meghan does not have any ongoing deal with Dior.
A photo of Meghan was shared, claiming that she copied the style of South Korean K-pop artist Harin, who became the new face of Dior's beauty line in April. Royal fans accused Meghan's team of spreading rumors about her signing with Dior.
However, despite these rumors, Meghan did not receive an invitation to the Dior Couture Autumn-Winter 2023-24 show in Paris, which kicked off the Haute Couture week. The fashion event, running until July 6th, showcases collections from renowned houses like Chanel, Balenciaga, and Valentino.
Moreover, Meghan was not included in Dior's Lady Dior 9522 campaign or any of their "What's in My Lady Dior" video series on YouTube.
It seems that there is no brand ambassador role for her. Dior has even commented twice on the matter, emphasizing that they do not have a relationship with Meghan. If Meghan never wears Dior again, it might indicate her disappointment with the rumored deal falling through.
Lady C, a prominent Beverly Hills socialite, initially claimed that Dior was interested in Harry alone, but when Harry insisted on a joint deal, Dior declined. Despite losing their Spotify deal and Netflix planning to pay only half of their multi-million contract due to limited content production, there are reports suggesting that the Sussexes are already working on other contract deals. It seems they are not worried about their financial situation, given the potential for more contracts in the future.
PR Guru Anna Grace du Neuer sees this recent development as a minor setback rather than a major one, considering the couple's multiple commercial endeavors, including a significant deal with Netflix and Harry's contract with Penguin Random House.
She believes that Harry and Meghan have the opportunity to pivot and possibly step away from the spotlight. Furthermore, their representatives have mentioned the development of more content for the Archewell Audio podcast, indicating their intention to engage a global audience and bridge the gap between celebrity culture and meaningful discussions on societal issues.
While some people label Harry and Meghan as lazy and difficult to work with, Anna Grace du Neuer disagrees. She highlights Meghan's Archewell podcast as evidence of their ability to connect with a global audience and facilitate meaningful conversations on important topics. In her view, the future looks bright for the Sussexes, despite what some may believe.
