Meghan Markle is not set to sign a deal with renowned fashion brand, Dior, despite rumours swirling swirled that she was poised to be unveiled as the new face of the designer brand in a big money partnership.
A source denied rumours of an imminent deal despite being a loyal fan of Dior, wearing its couture dresses and carrying its luxury handbags.
At the weekend, reports suggested that Meghan would join a well-paid bunch of celebrities including Rihanna and Jennifer Lawrence as a Dior ambassador.
The Duchess of Sussex wore a head-to-toe look from the brand for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee service last year.
This comes just days after it emerged that Meghan and husband Prince Harry’s deal with Spotify came to an end after it would not be renewing the Archetypes podcast for a second season.

Meghan Markle had been accused of getting producers to interview guests on the show, ‘Archetypes’ podcast, before having her own questions edited into the audio track.
Multiple sources told podcast-focused outlet Podnews that “some interviews on the show were done by other staffers, with questions edited-in afterwards.”
The allegations, which come just days after it was revealed the Sussexes’ $20 million deal with Spotify had been ended in a ‘mutual agreement’, were reported by podcast-focused outlet Podnews.
According to the site, ‘multiple sources’ have claimed that ‘some interviews on the show were done by other staffers, with questions edited-in afterwards’, although Podnews did not highlight any specific episodes where this might have applied.
Meghan’s 12-episode podcast featured a series of high-profile guests during its one-season run, including Mariah Carey, Serena Williams, and Mindy Kaling.
However, while Meghan may have interviewed several very high-profile guests for the audio show, this is not the first time that questions have been raised about her input into the interview process for other people who appeared on Archetypes.

Allison, who appeared on an episode of the show called To ‘B’ or not to ‘B’? in which she ‘explored the origin and plague’ of the word b***h, revealed in a social media post shared shortly after her interview was recorded that the chat had taken place with an audio producer called Farrah Safarfi.
Sharing an image of herself in front of a sign for Gimlet, an audio production company, Allison then thanks Farrah in the caption for being such an ‘excellent interviewer’.
The decision to axe the Duchess’s female-focused podcast followed reports that Spotify had been engaged in discussions about renewing the series, however those conversations are understood to have stalled.
