Meghan Markle loses modelling gig with US royalty over ‘controversial ways’

Meghan Markle may have lost out on a lucrative modelling deal with American heiress Kayla Rockefeller over her ‘controversial ways’.

Kayla, member of the Rockefeller family that is regarded as American royalty, revealed in a chat with The Mail recently that the Duchess of Sussex’s ‘popularity is plummeting’ due to her antics and that she wouldn’t want to work with her.

The Rockefeller-fortune heiress and jewellery designer told the outlet that she wouldn’t want Meghan to endorse her designs, and that she ‘couldn’t take that chance’ as Meghan ‘brings such controversy’.

“That would be controversial. As a new jeweller I couldn't take the chance. I mean, I could but people are so 50/50 about Meghan,” Kayla was quoted saying.

This comes just as a new poll has revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle remain at the bottom of popularity ratings in the UK, alongside disgraced Prince Andrew, who fell from grace after getting embroiled in a sex abuse case.

Meanwhile, Prince William and Kate Middleton have once again emerged as the most popular royals, with Britons even favouring William over King Charles, who is set to be officially crowned in a historic Coronation ceremony on May 6.
