An insider told the Mail regarding the Duchess of Sussex’s new strategy: “It's Meghan 3.0. She's on manoeuvres and looking for yet another relaunch.”

Earlier this week it emerged that Meghan Markle requested an invitation to Paris Fashion Week.

The Duchess of Sussex made her first visit to Europe in more than two years when she stepped out with Balenciaga's designer Pierpaolo Piccioli.

Meghan said that her appearance in Paris was “the culmination of many years of friendship” with the fashion designer.

However, Mr Piccioli revealed that the duchess asked him if she could attend the event rather than him sending her an invite.

He described Meghan’s attendance as a “beautiful surprise” and had helped keep her Paris visit to his show secret.

Piccioli said: “Meghan and I met some years ago, and we've been texting ever since. She reached out and said she'd love to come to the show”.

He added: “There was no strategy or big orchestration.

The source said regarding the Sussexes: “They want different things and there are times when it is really not great. I mean, really not great at all.”
