Royal Fashion Drama: Meghan Markle and Catherine Clash Over Designer’s Favoritism

Tensions reportedly emerged between Meghan Markle and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, early in their relationship due to a designer's preference for the latter.

Both Kate and Meghan are known admirers of British designer Erdem Morelioglu, with Markle developing a fondness for his creations during her acting career.

Despite showcasing his designs at various events before becoming a royal in 2016, once Meghan entered the royal fold, it is said that the Princess of Wales received priority over her, given their shared patronage of the designer.

Described as a polarizing figure akin to Marmite, Erdem is known for his bold color choices and daring use of patterns in his romantic clothing line, which some critics have labeled as chintzy due to his penchant for floral fabrics.

In contrast, Meghan was seen in Erdem's Divina dress from 2015 before its public release, as well as during a wedding in Jamaica in March 2017 and around the time of the 2017 Invictus Games.

However, she refrained from publicly wearing the designer's creations until March 2019.

The Sussexes were reportedly displeased that Kate received Erdem's outfits ahead of Meghan, leading to speculations that Meghan even remarked disparagingly about Kate's status within the royal family.

A recent rumor suggests that Erdem's preference for fulfilling Catherine's orders over Meghan's stemmed from an incident where Meghan allegedly failed to return a dress loaned to her for the 2017 Invictus Games.

This incident adds to a series of alleged mishaps involving Meghan, including an episode where she mistakenly took Aquazura shoes from a photoshoot and left behind another pair.

Reports indicate that Meghan exhibited demanding behavior during the shoot, expressing dissatisfaction with the attire until it garnered positive attention and sales for the brand.

Former colleagues of Meghan from the Reitman's shoot have voiced concerns about her alleged diva-like behavior and lack of collaboration, hinting at tensions behind the scenes.

Some details from the shoot, including Meghan's purported disdain for the clothing provided and her actions towards the crew, suggest a challenging working dynamic.

Notably, Meghan's former agent, Laurie Sale, may have provided insights into Meghan's conduct during that period, highlighting instances where Meghan's behavior raised eyebrows.

Furthermore, reports suggest that Meghan misplaced jewelry loaned to her by Queen Elizabeth II, mistaking it for a gift due to unpaid appearances during the Australian tour.

These incidents, coupled with the alleged fashion faux pas and clashes over designer preferences, paint a complex picture of the dynamics within the royal circles.

The intertwining narratives of fashion, personal interactions, and royal expectations underscore the intricacies of life in the public eye, where even wardrobe choices can spark controversies and fuel speculation.
