However, Gaultier was unimpressed with Meghan's request and promptly rejected it. He conveyed to her that he disapproved of her attempt to use his name and collection for personal publicity and agenda, questioning her motives and taste. Gaultier, known for his rebellious and provocative designs, openly criticized Meghan's fashion choices, claiming she lacked style and elegance. He mentioned being aware of her reputation, controversies, and perceived betrayal of the royal family and the British people. Gaultier went on to label Meghan a hypocrite, liar, and troublemaker who had used her marriage to Prince Harry for fame and fortune, tarnishing the legacy and dignity of the monarchy.
Expressing disappointment and anger for Prince Harry, whom he considered to have fallen under Meghan's spell, Gaultier expressed hope that Harry would realize his mistake and return to his family and country. While Gaultier declared he would welcome Harry back with open arms, he made it clear that he would neither forgive nor forget Meghan's actions and words.
Gaultier, a legend and icon in the fashion industry, spoke with pride and excitement about working with Simone Rocha, whom he hailed as one of the most talented and original designers of her generation. He admired Rocha's romantic and feminine designs, noting they provided a perfect contrast and compliment to his own edgy and avant-garde creations. Gaultier aimed to create a collection as a tribute and celebration of women's beauty and diversity, intending to share it with the world during his upcoming couture show in Paris.
Preparing for the event, Gaultier had already invited celebrity friends and fans, reserving his best pieces for them. He emphasized having no room or time for Meghan and her demands, revealing that he had sent her a polite but firm rejection letter, requesting her not to contact him again.
