People are already talking about the Duchess of Sussex’s clothes and jewelry within the With Love, Meghan Holiday Celebration special. The episode special hasn’t aired yet, but people are combing through the new trailer for glimpses of Meghan’s sweaters and jewelry. For the WLM poster, Meghan chose a beautiful one-shouldered Galvan dress. You can see it in the trailer too, she’s wearing the Galvan as she sets the table for a holiday feast. The Sussex Squad already figured out that Meghan has worn this Galvan dress before, during her 2022 Variety cover shoot. People might say “hey, that’s cute, she must have asked if she could keep the dress during the Variety shoot” or maybe even “she loved it so she bought it after wearing it for Variety.” But you’re forgetting how the deranged community views Meghan. NewsNation comes right out and accuses Meghan of stealing the Galvan dress from the Variety shoot. They even bring up that lying old coot Tom Bower, who claimed that Meghan stole sh-t from a Reitman’s photoshoot in Canada.
Eagle-eyed fashion observers almost fell out of their chairs this week when Meghan’s preview for her Netflix holiday segment dropped. During a portion of the video promoting her “With Love, Meghan” Christmas special, Prince Harry’s wife was seen wearing a gorgeous green Galvan “Ushuaia” one-shouldered gown … which looked very familiar. The gown is the exact same one she wore in Variety’s 2022 Instagram Reel promoting the Duchess as its cover subject.
Unfortunately, after appearing in the video, Meghan was then accused of pilfering several items from an anonymous photo shoot … again.
In an appearance on Andrew Gold’s “Heretics” podcast last year titled, “Exclusive: Meghan Markle New Stealing Allegations,” veteran journalist Vanessa Grigoriadis, whose work has appeared in The New York Times and Vanity Fair, described how several items of clothing that had been pulled for Meghan during a photo shoot allegedly went missing — and not for the first time. Grigoriadis started out talking with Gold about a 2016 shoot where things allegedly went missing — items that they say later showed up in press photographs.
“People who are into deep cuts of Meghan may have noticed that back in the day, Tom Bower reported that at a Reitman’s shoot, Meghan was doing the shoot and everything was fine,” Grigoriadis said.
Reitman is a Canadian clothing store for Meghan did a campaign for before she married Harry. In Tom Bower’s book “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors,” he claims Meghan left the set of a 2016 ad shoot for Reitmans with wardrobe items — specifically mentioning she “forgot to leave behind the Aquazzura shoes” used for the campaign, shoes that later showed up on the official photo of her engagement announcement to Harry a year later.
“The photo shoots, the celebrities or the important person are never supposed to take the clothes that they’re actually wearing in the shoot home, right?” Grigoriadis continued. “Those clothes are being lent by top designers of the world, perhaps jewelry. Jewelry is incredibly expensive, right? The kind of jewelry that celebrities wear on the red carpet is, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars. And (Bower) reported that Meghan, at the end of that shoot, the crew that was there was sort of surprised because she had some high-heeled shoes on that no longer seemed to be in the room for the shoot, right?”
“Sticky fingers at the end of a photoshoot is not unheard of,” Grigoriadis said before alleging Meghan had committed the same sin again. “Recently, that’s happening again. And I think that’s what might be most surprising to people because she’s now somebody who’s now, I mean, I can’t remember the exact figures, but what was it? $100 million for the Netflix documentary, $20 million for Spotify, despite having done pretty much no work, being called effing grifters for the work that they did in that. You would think that this is somebody who now has a reputation to uphold and doesn’t need the money, but she’s been stealing stuff.”
Meghan’s rep didn’t return emails about the Galvan gown — and whether or not Meghan took it (unpaid) from the Variety shoot. But the allegation could explain why many magazines are not rushing to work with her.
As Grigoriadis explained: “It’s that [Markle’s] trying to pretend she’s some sort of heroic, worthy, charity-giving, feminist, whatever, when actually she’s the diva, money-grabbing, stealing person, who we might admire if they weren’t just pretending they’re something else.”
I’ve seen enough – Meghan really needs to start suing people. The argument against her suing people is “she’s protecting her peace” and “they WANT her to sue them.” But Jesus Christ, they’re spreading this conspiracy far and wide, entirely based off of some asinine sh-t written by Tom Bower of all people. Take a step back and realize that the “Meghan Effect” has been going on for nearly a decade as well – whatever Meghan wears or carries or uses sells out completely. Even when she ran The Tig, companies would send her free stuff, and designers would gift her certain items. That is still happening today – imagine how much free stuff she’s offered from designers. I have no idea what actually happened with this particular dress, but it’s crazy to jump to “she obviously stole it, and she’s wearing the evidence on her Netflix show!”
