The Duchess of Sussex has been snubbed by a British fashion designer who has revealed he doesn't want to dress her, preferring instead to work with Princess Kate and Queen Camilla.

Meghan, who has been photographed in designer dresses and accessories even before she wed into the royal family, is the one royal that British fashion designer Julien Macdonald doesn't want to dress. Macdonald, who is known for his evening dresses and sequinned looks, has spoken clearly, revealing that he prefers Kate Middleton and Queen Camilla.

According to the Daily Mail, when asked if he'd like to dress the Duchess of Sussex, Macdonald gave a simple reply: "No, I prefer Kate and Camilla."

Macdonald revealed he would rather dress the Princess of Wales or the Queen as he added: "Kate's amazing, I'd love to dress her in one of my dresses. I've got a great relationship with Camilla, the Queen - She's incredible."

The snub from the fashion designer comes as Meghan and Harry continue to try and boost their popularity. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been working hard to make a name for themselves since leaving the Royal Family, signing lucrative deals with the likes of Netflix and Penguin Random House.

Royal commentator Kerry Parnell has said it's unfair the couple "get headlines every time they step out the door doing anything whatsoever" and suggested that's not the case for other members of the Royal Family. She explained: "They obviously have to choose what direction they go in, but it is hard for them because whatever they do, it makes headlines."

Meghan's recent headlines alongside her husband Harry come after the couple completed a three-day trip to Nigeria. Speaking in an interview, Harry opened up about their future plans as they hope to keep visiting more countries. Describing the importance of such trips in his efforts to make a positive change across the world, he told People Magazine : "It is hugely important for us to meet directly with people, supporting our causes and listening, in order to bring about solutions, support and positive change."

He added: "There’s only so much one can do from home and over Zoom, so we look forward to traveling more because the work matters. Whether it's the Archewell Foundation, Invictus or any of our other causes, there will always be reasons to meet the people at the heart of our work."
