LVMH President Rejects Meghan Markle for Dior 'Face' Role, Signs Ambassador Contract with Lady Frederick Windsor

Lady Frederick Windsor, Sophie Winkleman, recently shared some insights about Meghan Markle and her own role as the new face of Dior. Meghan, also known as the Duchess of Sussex, had been pursuing a contract with the high-end fashion brand Dior, but it appears that she was left disappointed when it was reported that she lost the opportunity to MC Bellamy. MC Bellamy is well-known for her portrayal of Princess Caden in season 6 of Netflix's "The Crown." However, it's worth noting that there had been rumors about Meghan being in talks with a luxury French company for a possible deal earlier. Nevertheless, an insider clarified that Meghan was not actually in negotiations for such a contract.

This development has been a setback for Meghan, who has been actively seeking endorsements with prestigious fashion houses. On the other hand, Sophie Winkleman, who is known for her acting career and her marriage to Lord Frederick Windsor (the second cousin of King Charles), has emerged as the new face of Dior. Sophie is not your typical fame-seeking actress; she has a diverse background and has been featured in Julian Fellowes's series "Belgravia."

In her interview with Tatler, Sophie opened up about her strong rapport with members of the royal family, describing them as fun, clever, and kind individuals behind the scenes. She shared insights into her close relationship with King Charles, highlighting his exceptional work ethic and dedication to various causes. Sophie also mentioned her connections with other royals, including Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Zara Tindall, Princess Anne, and Sarah Ferguson.

While expressing her affection for Prince William and Princess Catherine, Sophie acknowledged that their busy schedules and residences outside London limited their interactions. She also shared a personal experience with a car crash during which she suffered a broken foot and three back fractures. Sophie expressed gratitude for the support she received from the royal family during her recovery. Queen Elizabeth II allowed her to use the pool at Buckingham Palace, and Prince William ensured she received proper care through his air ambulance colleague. Additionally, Prince Edward's wife, Sophie, visited her at the hospital.

In summary, Sophie Winkleman's interview in Tatler sheds light on her positive relationships with various members of the royal family, countering any negative perceptions that may have arisen from Meghan Markle's previous comments about them.
