Despite recent news speculation, Meghan Markle is not an ambassador for Dior and won’t be anytime soon, according to an exclusive story published by WWD on Tuesday.
Markle was the topic of media reports speculating that contracts for the Duchess of Sussex to become a Dior ambassador were potentially in the works. A Parisian spokesperson for the brand confirmed that reports on the apparent contract aren’t real and denied that the brand has recently contacted Markle.
Over the last several days, outlets including TMZ, The Telegraph, The New York Post and more reported that Markle was in “talks” to sign a contract with the French fashion house, instigated by her talent agency William Morris Endeavor to overshadow negative publicity relating to her and husband Prince Harry’s ties to the British royal family.
Previously, Markle had established a relationship with Dior. The Duchess had worn a hat by Stephen Jones from the brand for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022, as well as a matching white Dior skirt, coat and hat in June 2022 for the late royal’s Platinum Jubilee. February 2019 also found Markle in a draped Dior dress while pregnant with her son, Archie, according to People.

In other Dior news, the brand launched a new campaign for its latest handbag, the Lady 95.22, in June. The black-and-white imagery finds current brand ambassadors including Jennifer Lawrence, Jisoo of Blackpink and Rosamund Pike modeling the quilted style’s newest sizes and colors as part of its staple “Lady” line — which was originally inspired by the late Princess Diana.
