Meghan Markle's Hollywood career is reportedly facing challenges in the aftermath of her rift with the Royal family, with recent reports suggesting she lost a lucrative Dior contract to Meg Bellamy, known for her role as young Kate Middleton in the popular Netflix series, The Crown.
According to sources cited by Closer Magazine, luxury brands have been vying for Bellamy, treating her like an "A-list princess" similar to Kate Middleton. The irony of the situation lies in the ongoing feud between Meghan and Kate, fueled by Meghan's accusations during a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, where she claimed that Kate made her cry before her wedding.
Despite Meghan Markle's stature as a former actress from the hit TV show Suits, the report suggests that valuable fashion brands are eager to approach Bellamy due to her portrayal of Prince William's wife in the globally acclaimed drama. The insider revealed that many labels and brands are attracted to Bellamy's association with the iconic role, despite her being a relatively unknown face in the industry.
As Meghan Markle endeavors to revive her Hollywood career, losing out on opportunities to rising talents like Meg Bellamy underscores the challenges she faces in the competitive entertainment industry, particularly in light of her strained relationship with the Royal family.
