Dior has denied reports that they were in talks with Meghan Markle about a $20 million sponsorship deal. The fashion house said in a statement that "there is no such deal in the works."
This is a blow to Markle, who was reportedly hoping to use the deal to boost her image and career. She has been criticized in recent months for her perceived lack of relevance, and a deal with Dior would have been a major coup.

It is unclear why Dior decided not to go ahead with the deal. Some reports have suggested that the company was concerned about Markle's recent controversies, while others have said that they simply didn't think she was a good fit for the brand.
Whatever the reason, the denial of the deal is a setback for Markle. It will be interesting to see how she responds to this news, and whether she is able to find another major sponsorship deal.
It is also worth noting that the denial of the deal does not necessarily mean that Markle is finished as a fashion icon. She is still a popular figure, and she has a number of other endorsement deals in place. However, the denial of the Dior deal shows that she is not as untouchable as she once was.
