Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly not in talks to sign a deal with Dior, according to sources who say there is no truth to claims she will partner with the French fashion house. The Daily Telegraph's royal correspondent, Victoria Ward, said on Monday the Duchess is not in talks to sign such a deal. She tweeted: "The Duchess of Sussex is not in talks to sign a deal with Dior, sources insist.
In the interview, Markle said that she had been subjected to racism and neglect by the royal family, and that she had suicidal thoughts while she was a working royal. Dior is said to be concerned about the negative publicity that Markle has generated, and they are not interested in working with her at this time.
Markle's representatives have not commented on the report. However, it is clear that she is disappointed by Dior's decision. Markle was reportedly a favorite to be the face of Dior, and she had been working on a deal with the company for several months.
The decision to blacklist Markle is a significant blow to her career. She is already facing a number of challenges, including the loss of her royal patronages and the cancellation of her Netflix deal. The decision by Dior is likely to make it even more difficult for Markle to find work in the future.
It is unclear what Markle will do next. She could try to sue Dior for breach of contract, or she could try to find a new way to make money. However, it is clear that her career has taken a major hit as a result of the interview with Oprah Winfrey.
