Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the Duchess and Duke of Sussex, are exploring new business avenues – both together and separately – following the end of their contract with Netflix
Meghan Markle has been backed to reinvent herself in the world of fashion because it is something she “does very well”.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, was praised for her “first positive PR” in several years following her visit to Paris Fashion Week, where she was pictured modelling numbers by Balenciaga. She asked the label’s Creative Director, Pierpaolo Piccioli, if she could attend because of her huge admiration for him, one of the industry’s new kings.
And now critics believe the stunt will serve as a reminder to the couture industry that Meghan “is a power player” in the field. Jane Tippett, royal biographer and fashion commentator, said: “This was a trip to remind the world that she is a power player in the fashion world. The way she dressed and moved seemed to indicate that she had a real and new interest, it was like her baby shower without the royal criticism.
“Meghan really hasn’t landed on anything that has stuck yet, so perhaps fashion and beauty are the next step forward for her as it is something she does very well.”

Both Meghan and Prince Harry are thought to be exploring new avenues following the end of their Netflix contract, which led to short-lived media appearances. Meghan has carried out a flurry of engagements recently, which one leading PR guru described as her way to introduce “Meghan 3.0.” They continued: “She’s on manoeuvres and looking for yet another relaunch.”
And fashion could offer the Duchess of Sussex this new platform, it is understood. The mum of two, who was an actress before meeting Harry, was snapped alongside the style world’s most powerful players at Paris Fashion Week. She donned immaculate tailoring including, for the Balenciaga show, a white, button-down tunic with a cape and matching slacks.
Speaking to the Daily Mail about Meghan’s attire at the functions, Ms Tippett continued: “She will be aware that brands are profiting from her appearances, so she will be thinking about how she can monetise them too.
“Meghan is hidden for months and then there is a collection of hyper glamorous moments. A bombardment of appearances are yet another attempt to remind the world that she is a power player. She clearly wanted to be photographed, these were highly orchestrated moments of Meghan looking at her best.”
