Meghan, dressed casually in black ballet flats, skinny jeans, a striped sweater, and gold bracelets, was seen engaging in what appeared to be a tense conversation while frequently checking her phone. What caught everyone's attention was the fact that Meghan had used her royal title when signing an official letter to Fendi, asking for complimentary items.
The incident took place at Fendi's Beverly Hills Rodeo Drive store, where Nicki Martinez, a former manager, shared an old article about Meghan's visit. Martinez confirmed Meghan's visit but revealed that it didn't go smoothly.
During her visit, Meghan accused Martinez of not respecting customers and showed impatience. The revelation of Meghan's letter requesting freebies shed light on why she may have been disgruntled during her visit. The Fendi team decided not to fulfill her request, as they were well aware that providing free items to members of the royal family was not a viable business strategy. Such a move could potentially harm a brand's reputation, as it might be perceived as an attempt to exploit royal status for personal gain.
Martinez emphasized that they had tried to be as polite as possible during Meghan's visit, but ultimately, they declined her request. Interestingly, Meghan seemed uncomfortable with the Fendi Peekaboo ICU bag she carried during her visit. This incident raised questions about whether Meghan was genuinely seen with any Fendi items or accessories afterward.
In a recent interview with The Washington Post, a source noted that Meghan had a history of attending celebrity gift-giving events before marrying Prince Harry. These events allowed celebrities to choose free products with the expectation that they would be photographed with them for media coverage. However, after becoming members of the royal family, Meghan and Harry had to refrain from such activities, as they are not allowed to engage in commercial transactions.
Meghan's transition from enjoying celebrity freebies to adhering to royal protocol marked a significant change in her public life. While she may have previously attended events to accumulate free products, her royal status required her to give up potentially lucrative contracts and conform to the standards expected of a member of the British royal family."
