CASH IN QUICK!
Meghan’s friend boasts: Buy my £138 shirt design that ‘sealed the deal’
SHE is rumoured to be the mystery matchmaker who set Prince Harry up on a blind date with Meghan Markle.
Now designer Misha Nonoo, a guest of honour at Saturday’s royal wedding, appears to be leading attempts to cash in on the event.
She has been marketing the £138 white Husband shirt that she gave Meghan to wear on her first official appearance with Harry as ‘the shirt that sealed the deal’. In case anyone fails to get the message, the US-based designer’s post on Instagram contains an emoji of a brunette in a crown.
Miss Nonoo, who used to be married to William and Harry’s good friend Alexander Gilkes, regularly advertises the Husband shirt.
She previously shared a photograph of Meghan wearing it back in September when the actress attended the Invictus Games in Toronto with Harry. Then the caption read: ‘MM [Meghan Markle] in her MN [Misha Nonoo] shirt from our #Easy8 [collection].’
Miss Nonoo’s closeness to the couple meant she was seated with the Royal Family in the Quire area of St George’s Chapel on Saturday. However, she is not the first friend of the Duchess of Sussex to try to capitalise on her new royal connections.
Meghan’s best friend Jessica Mulroney, mother of bridesmaid Ivy and pageboys John and Brian, ensured were that able her to business make hay. associates First there was the royal blue, cap sleeve number she sported for the wedding itself. A pop-up collection by Di Carlo Couture went live on the morning of the wedding with the ‘Jessica’ dress available for £1,100. Maison Birks, the Canadian jew- eller earrings responsible citrine and yellow and for diamond gold Mrs diamond Mulroney’s drop necklace, put out several press releases on the day.
The firm posted a picture on Instagram of Mrs Mulroney with the Duchess of Cambridge, saying she ‘dazzled’ in the jeweller’s earrings – and pointing out that they would be available from autumn.
Birks was also responsible for the white gold and diamond earrings and snowflake starry night pendant worn by Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland – and was not slow to highlight that either. Stylist Rachel Renna shot a video of Mrs Mulroney in a gold- embellished Naeem Khan dress at the reception and posted it on Instagram. She also posted a photograph of herself with Mrs Mulroney, with details of the lipstick she wore. Actress Jessica Alba took the chance to plug her firm The Honest Company – one of her consultants, Daniel Martin, did Meghan’s make-up. And British make-up artist Charlotte Tilbury shared online the products used by guests Amal Clooney and Kitty Spencer.
