re: Did Princess Anne Make The Nasty Comment About Skin Colour of Harry & Megans' Son?
Meghan Could be Duchess of Dior With BIG Money Fashion Deal After Spotify AXE
Meghan Markle and the royal family has long favoured Dior - the brand even has a handbag named after Prince Harry's mum Princess Diana
BBC 18 JUNE 2023
Meghan Markle could be about to sign a big money deal with Dior. Meghan has long been a dedicated follower of fashion. She wowed in a red gown at the 2021 Salute To Freedom Gala in New York
The French fashion house already has celebrities including Rihanna and Jennifer Lawrence on its books and earlier this year Johnny Depp signed a fragrance deal worth upwards of $20million.
Now Meghan could be about to join the well-paid bunch as she's proved her credentials as a loyal fan of Dior over the years.
The Duchess of Sussex wore a head-to-toe look from the brand for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee service last year.
And two years ago she carried a Lady Dior bag - the iconic style named after Princess Diana - to a Global Citizen concert in New York.
Harry has also inherited the love of Dior from his mother and wore a custom-made suit from the fashion house to the King's Coronation.
The rumours that Meghan could be the 'Duchess of Dior' come after she and Prince Harry were dubbed "f***ing grifters" by a top Spotify executive after their $25million contract was ended.

But it seems that Meghan's team is ready to fight for more lucrative contracts and a partnership with Dior would be her first fashion brand deal.
According to a source, the Duchess' new agent Ari Emanuel, the chief of talent agency William Morris Endeavor (WME) is pushing Meghan's clout as a top fashion influencer.
A source from WME told the Mail on Sunday : "We knew the Spotify announcement was coming.
"It might be a shock to everyone else but we've been working on the rebranding of Meghan for weeks.
"Ari is the best in the business when it comes to corporate deals and making money.
"He's excited to be representing Meghan and has thrown all his energy into it. The offers have been pouring in, including from other podcast platforms."
The Mirror has contacted Meghan's representatives for comment.
It comes after a top Spotify executive called the royal couple "f***ing grifters".
Bill Simmons, Head of Podcast Innovation and Monetisation at Spotify hit out at the pair in an episode of his own podcast released on Friday.
"The f***ing grifters. That's the podcast we should have launched with them," he said.
"I've got to get drunk one night and tell the story of the Zoom I had with Harry to try and help him with a podcast idea. It's one of my best stories."
The real reason Meghan Markle's podcast has been axed has been revealed as the move appears to be driven by a change in strategy for the company away from big money exclusive deals with celebrities that don't perform and hit listener targets.
Meghan now plans to "develop more content for the Archetypes audience on another platform", her spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal.
