It’s not the first time Meghan has championed trendy brand Logan Hollowell.
When she released a video interview with Melissa McCarthy to mark her 40th birthday, she donned dainty silver necklaces resembling the astrological signs of Taurus Archie, who was born in May 2018 and Lilibet, who is a Gemini, born in June 2021.
The $1,785 accessories are available in 14k gold and diamond or white sapphire.
Meghan’s recent outing in Montecito was the first time the Duchess had been seen since a storm of criticism from high profile TV personalities and former colleagues from Deal or No Deal about her comments on the game show.
Meghan revealed she quit as a Deal or No Deal briefcase girl after 34 episodes because she was ‘objectified’ and forced to have spray tans and wear a padded bra that left her reduced to a ‘bimbo’ – the word at the heart of last week’s Spotify podcast featuring Paris Hilton.
She said she was grateful for the work and money as she tried to succeed as an actress – but disliked ‘how it made me feel, which was not smart’ because ‘I didn’t like feeling forced to be all looks’.
The Duchess of Sussex (pictured on the Deal or No Deal set in 2006) appeared on 34 episodes of the show between 2006 and 2007
Speaking on her Archetypes podcast with Miss Hilton, called Breaking Down the Bimbo, Meghan said she wants her daughter Lilibet to be valued first for her mind, rather than ‘beauty not brains’ as she was on the TV gameshow.
The Duchess, who appeared in Deal or No Deal between 2006 and 2007, calling it ‘a short stint’ to pay the bills, added: ‘I want our daughter to aspire to be slightly higher. Yeah, I want my Lili to want to be educated and want to be smart and to pride herself on those things.’
Meghan appeared on season two of NBC’s Deal or No Deal 16 years ago. She first stood beside briefcase number 11 for two episodes, then moved to number 24. She left the show midway through the season.
Meghan said she ‘will never forget’ the woman’s comments backstage on the show. The Duchess discussed her time as a ‘Briefcase Girl’ on her podcast episode
She said: ‘I ended up quitting the show. I was so much more than what was being objectified on the stage. I didn’t like feeling forced to be all looks. And little substance.
‘And that’s how it felt for me at the time being reduced to this specific archetype, the word bimbo.’
The California-based royal revealed that she and the other women on the show were forced to ‘line up’ for various beauty treatments including ‘padding in your bra’, to attach fake eyelashes and ‘put in’ hair extensions.
She said: ‘We were even given spray-tan vouchers each week because there was a very cookie cutter idea, of precisely what we should look like. It was solely about our beauty’.
Meghan added that a woman ‘in charge’ of the show would tell her to ‘suck it in’ before filming began, presumably an order to suck in her stomach on camera.
