Accessorizing her outfit with Fendi's Peekaboo ICU handbag, she sported a cat-eye look and a berry-red lip. The princess was in esteemed company, joined by guests such as Kate Moss, Rita Ora, Lewis Hamilton, and Felicia Williams. Princess Eugenie's strong relationship with Dior over the years was evident, having previously attended the launch of the Dior Sessions book in London in 2019 to support the brand. This fashion faceoff heightened the stakes for Meghan, who, along with her husband Prince Harry, relocated to California after relinquishing royal duties. Meghan's recent high-profile interviews and projects, including the controversial Oprah Winfrey interview and the divisive Netflix series, have drawn criticism for being tone-deaf, hypocritical, and disrespectful.
Dior, an iconic French fashion house with a historic relationship with the British monarchy, distanced itself from Meghan and her Netflix ventures. Opting for more relevant and respectful figures, Dior chose to align itself with royals like Princess Eugenie, known for elegance, sophistication, and innovation. Dior snubbed Meghan and her projects, expressing dissatisfaction with her behavior, attitude, and Netflix endeavors, dismissing them as self-indulgent, manipulative, and dull.
Offended by Meghan's accusations and insults against the royal family, Dior decided to side with figures they deemed more worthy and loyal in the eyes of the fashion world. Meghan Markle has seemingly lost her fashion credibility and appeal, replaced by Princess Eugenie, who emerges as a better and more stylish representative of royalty.
Princess Eugenie's visit to Paris followed her attendance at the royal family Christmas service at Sandringham with husband Jack Brooksbank in December. The outing was a special family affair, marking Eugenie's parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's first joint appearance since the early 1990s. Last year, it was announced that Eugenie's family, including sons August Philip Hawk and Ernest George AR, would split their time between the UK and Portugal after Brooksbank secured a new job.
Speaking on a podcast, Princess Eugenie expressed her excitement about the move, describing it as a dream where she could go to the supermarket in her exercise gear without a care in the world.
