Sorry, Ivanka—there can be only one American princess, and right now vshe’s on the other side of the pond.
Markle is the fashion industry’s newest muse, in much the same way the Middleton sisters were nearly seven years ago. According, again, to the Times’ Vanessa Friedman, Marklemania has already started. Every outfit she wears inspires crazed levels of imitation. Magazines are already using Markle as a peg in style headlines. The coat she wore during her official engagement announcement crashed its brand’s website. Markle, Friedman notes, will “unquestionably be the most desired guest for any brand” at London Fashion Week this winter.
Every day features a new Markle wedding dress fanfic piece written with the help of a bevy of designers and speculation. Will she pick Jenny Packham? Oscar de la Renta? She’s already described her perfect dress, says ABC (she actually didn’t describe anything specific at all). Whatever Markle picks, people will go apeshit over it.
Ivanka and Markle have interacted before. Markle, like Ivanka, used to run a lifestyle blog. Hers was called “Tig.” While it was deleted this past April, old entries are still available via the Internet Wayback Machine. Markle actually interviewed Ivanka for her blog in 2015 (over email) but was liberal with praise, calling Ivanka “staggeringly beautiful” and “incredibly savvy and intelligent.” “I always remember Ivanka being different,” Markle wrote. “She wasn’t dancing on tables as a teenager or releasing pop albums. She wasn’t running amuck publicly, swearing and being smacked with DUIs.” Markle wrote that she and Ivanka had made plans to get drinks the next time they were both in New York City, noting that she’d order what Ivanka ordered, so intense was her desire to emulate her success.
But perhaps Ivanka would rather have what Meghan is having. “I’ve never wanted to be a lady who lunches,” Markle wrote in 2015. “I’ve always wanted to be a woman who works.”
Ivanka’s widely panned book, called Women Who Work, was released in 2016.
There’s something uniquely 2017 fever-dreamy about the divergence of Ivanka and Markle’s fates. Markle, a working actress who once held a briefcase on Deal Or No Deal, gets to retire from the thornier parts of politics and into a life of a princess. Meanwhile Ivanka, the telegenic heiress of the man behind The Art of the Deal has found herself queen of the frogs.
It’s satire.

Isn’t it?
Megan Markle is a divorcee whose ex-husband had no idea until he was served with papers.
She sounds like a “Gold Digger”.
Ivanka can do better than to mimic her.
Americans, doing jobs that Brits won’t.
its gotta be satire. Or liberals wishing it to make it true...
Meghan Markle Is Everything Ivanka Trump Wishes She Could Be

What ???
Pregnant out-of-wedlock ???
“Meanwhile Ivanka, the telegenic heiress of the man behind The Art of the Deal has found herself queen of the frogs.”
She’s royalty in France????
This liberal seems to want to start fights. Moreover, they have some sick fascination with monarchies, don’t they? I guess they need someone to dictate what they must do with their lives. That explains why they’re always so miserable in that they know that they’re nothing unless they’re told what to do by decree.
single unwed mothers are the highest level of the liberal politics constituency!
Erin Gloria Ryan sounds like she’s auditioning for Maureen Dowds column when she retires..
Poor Erin Gloria Ryna ... can you imagine the poor thing’s life to be able to write a piece like this, to be unable to hold a candle to either of the women about whom she’s written. Gotta pity her.
Erin Ryan of Newsweak just WISHES so hard that Meghan could be better than Ivanka...
Right. Ivanka yearns to achieve bimbo status. Oy!
they had to move Meghan into Kensington Palace just to conceal the fast that she is knocked up....always wearing big coats and such
Big deal. Markle’s “princess” title will be “Princess Henry of Wales,” which sounds kind of dumb (like Princess Michael of Kent).
When I first saw a photo of them together I did not know who they were. My first thought was “Goodness that guy could do a lot better than her”.
Then I found out who they were. I still did not know anything about her and very little about him but the thought still persists.
Yeah and Melania wishes she had arms like Michelle Obama.
word is the queen is gonna make her Duchess of Sussex, but its gonna take a while...
She may have done learned certain skills at a Shanghai brothel?
I’m hoping the Queen opts for Duchess of Windsor instead - just for laughs.
No wonder Meghan couldn't tell that last boyfriend chef exactly WHY he broke up with her...
