While it was initially reported that the Duchess of Sussex was in talks with Dior, PR expert Matt Yanofsky, in conversation with The Mirror, notes that the absence of a confirmed deal might work in Meghan's favor.
"This situation plays to Meghan's advantage because, owing to her royal connection, she garners as much attention as she would have if she had become the face of Dior. Arguably, it's a less risky scenario for her, as a failure as a brand ambassador could have led to a fashion ban," Yanofsky explains.
Bellamy's reported association with Dior, alongside renowned figures like Rihanna and Johnny Depp, added to the allure. Meanwhile, despite earlier false reports of Meghan's collaboration with Dior, the success of The Crown has propelled her into the spotlight, with major labels expressing interest in having her on board.
"They are lining up for Meg. Playing the role of the most famous woman in the world in a globally acclaimed television drama has elevated her status. Despite being relatively unknown, she's treated like Kate, a princess of A-list caliber," reveals a source to Daily Mail.
