Meghan Markle Not Teaming Up With Dior As She Reportedly Eyes Another Luxury Brand Deal

Rumors of an upcoming collaboration between Meghan Markle and Dior may have been officially shut down, but she and Prince Harry do have a very important relationship with the brand. According to The Telegraph, there's actually a long history of rebellious figures in the royal family aligning themselves with Dior. Princess Diana was gifted an unreleased bag called the Chouchou, and she ended up wearing it so much in the 1990s that the design was renamed the "Lady Dior" to celebrate her. The founder himself, Christian Dior, even wrote in his 1956 memoir that Princess Margaret was his muse. 

Markle has sported Dior at particularly important events — she wore a white Dior Couture dress for her son's christening, and she wore a Stephen Jones for Dior hat at Queen Elizabeth II's funeral. Not to mention, the former actress notoriously enjoys makeup, bags, and shoes by Dior on a regular basis. Given the royal family and Markle's own history with the brand, the rumors about a deal aren't so shocking.
