Meghan Markle has made an emotional plea to her husband Prince Harry amid reports of their financial crisis following their return to Britain.

According to a report by the New Idea, Princess Diana’s “revenge” dress is world-famous, and now, it’s sparked a major bidding war as it heads back to the auction block.

The close insiders have told the outlet, “Meghan has told Harry they should try and bid for this dress for the sake of the children and the documentary.”

The auction house Sotheby’s expects the dress to sell for up to £220,000, and Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, 45, is reportedly keen to place a bid.

However, the sources have claimed the Duchess is set to lose Princess Diana’s revenge dress to Kim Kardashian as the famous dress is back at auction.

The outlet, citing the insiders, has reported that reality TV star Kim Kardashian is just one big name determined to own this dress.

Salma Hayek, Lady Gaga and several Qatari and Saudi collectors are also interested in it, they added.

“Harry and Meghan’s budget is going to be a huge problem in them owning that piece of Diana history.”

Adding to the friction is Harry’s own hesitation. While Meghan, who frequently pays homage to Diana’s style, sees the gown as irreplaceable, Harry remains conflicted given the painful chapter it represents.

“Harry’s not so sure as his parents’ divorce wasn’t a great memory for him, but there’s every chance they’re going to be outbid for sure.”
