Sophie Winkleman Shines as New Face of Dior

Lady Frederick Windsor, also known as Sophie Winkleman, has taken the spotlight as the fresh face of Dior, following revelations about Meghan Markle and Tatler.

Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, had her sights set on a lucrative deal with a high-end fashion brand, only to face disappointment.

Reports surfaced that Meghan was in discussions with a luxury French company for a potential contract, but it was later disclosed that she lost the opportunity to Meg Bellamy, recognized for her role as Princess Kate in Netflix's The Crown season 6.

Contrary to speculations, Dior clarified that Meghan was not engaged in negotiations for a contract, as confirmed by a source to The Telegraph.

This setback comes as a setback for Meghan, who has been actively pursuing partnerships with esteemed fashion houses, albeit without desired outcomes.

Stepping into the limelight, Sophie Winkleman, wife of Lord Frederick Windsor and a prominent figure in royal circles, now graces the pages of Dior.

Sophie, distinguished by her acting career and marriage to King Charles's second cousin, is no stranger to the royal scene.

Renowned for her role in Julian Fellowes's Belgravia series, Sophie stands out as a close confidante of King Charles and Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet.

Her recent appearance on the cover of Tatler, elegantly attired in Dior, marks a significant milestone in her journey.

In a candid interview, Sophie shared insights into her warm relationships with members of the royal family, portraying them as affable, intelligent, and compassionate individuals off-camera.

She shed light on her deep bond with King Charles, lauding his unwavering work ethic and dedication to noble causes.

Recounting moments spent in his company, Sophie expressed admiration for his tireless commitment to his royal duties.

Beyond her connection with King Charles, Sophie detailed her interactions with various other royals, including Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Zara Tindall, Princess Anne, and Sarah Ferguson.

While expressing fondness for Prince William and Princess Catherine, Sophie acknowledged the challenges posed by their hectic schedules and residence outside London, limiting their interactions.

During the interview, Sophie also revealed a personal anecdote involving a car accident that left her with a broken foot and three back fractures.

Grateful for the support extended by the royal family during her recovery, Sophie recounted Queen Elizabeth II's gesture of allowing her to use the Buckingham Palace pool, while Prince William ensured she received proper medical care through his air ambulance connections.
