Reports suggest Meghan initiated a covert Instagram account to employ affiliate links for selling various products, including apparel brands. However, lackluster public response led to the discontinuation of these marketing efforts.
Meghan's career trajectory appears inconsistent compared to A-list stars, making it challenging for her to solidify her position in the film industry, even after nearly five years of marriage to Prince Harry.
Meghan faced further difficulties upon learning that Mariah Carey, her competitor, secured an exclusive contract with Victoria's Secret. Mariah became the spokesperson for Victoria's Secret's Christmas line, featuring striking red lingerie and gold sequin bras. Meghan reportedly felt a mix of anger and envy, believing the WME CEO missed a significant opportunity to collaborate with her.
Accusations of copying Mariah Carey's fashion sense arose when Meghan was seen with Prince Harry in Montecito, California, wearing a black and white striped column dress. Observers drew parallels to Carey's 1996 Giorgio Armani ensemble. This incident occurred after Meghan and Mariah's conversation on Meghan's Spotify podcast, where Mariah playfully teased Meghan's appearance of her rather than her demeanor, citing "diva moments." While intended as a light banter, Meghan appeared uneasy, highlighting the challenges she faces in both the entertainment and royal realms.
