While distancing herself from the royal family won’t be without its financial pitfalls, the freedom Meghan Markle will gain could be invaluable. According to royal expert Emma Forbes, as the Duchess of Sussex, Markle wasn’t able to “accept gifts from designers,” but now she’ll have a little more wiggle room when it comes to freebies. “I’m sure there will be a way around her accepting freebies, because since they’re not going to be in the royal family in any kind of traditional shape or form, they’ll have to rewrite those rules,” she told Page Six.
According to The Sun, Markle is allegedly already in talks with top fashion brands to negotiate commercial deals. “There have already been active discussions with Givenchy,” an insider said. “Some of these deals could be worth millions of pounds.”
Only time will tell, but given Markle’s passion for fashion, we wouldn’t be surprised if she steps back from her royal duties and struts right into a very stylish partnership. Regardless of what Markle does next, we know she’ll put her best foot forward — no matter what she’s wearing.
