“The timing and intention behind her Paris debut signals something more strategic — she’s actively cultivating relationships with culture’s most influential power players,” May added.

Ring echoed that sentiment, saying, “There’s also growing confidence she could take control of her own fashion narrative with a personal label — the 6/4 odds reflect genuine momentum behind that idea.”

“Whether it’s the Met Gala, the metaverse, or even hosting her own event, it’s clear Meghan’s influence in the style sphere is only expanding,” he continued.

Life in the U.S. and Royal Ties

Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Meghan has lived in the United States with Prince Harry and their two children while running her lifestyle brand, As Ever.

Harry has made several visits to the UK — most recently in September to see his father, King Charles III — but Meghan has not returned since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022.

Her relationship with the royal family, especially the Prince and Princess of Wales, remains tense, though she reportedly still maintains a friendship with Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank.

Could a Royal Reunion Be on the Horizon?

With King Charles, 76, continuing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer, royal watchers believe Meghan’s potential trip could present an opportunity for reconciliation within the family.

When asked by The Guardian in September whether he hoped to bring Archie and Lilibet back to the UK, Harry seemed hopeful.

“Yes, I would. This week has definitely brought that closer,” he said.
