Meghan Markle ‘Determined’ to Work With Kim Kardashian — But Has to Go Through Kris Jenner First!

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is enviously eyeing the success of Kim Kardashian’s Skims empire — and now Prince Harry’s ambitious wife is pitching a proposal for her to join forces with the billionaire reality queen so she can lord it over Hollywood’s lifestyle and beauty entrepreneurs, sources say.

However, insiders confide that the royal renegade — who with Harry ditched palace duties in 2020 to chase lucrative Tinseltown deals and fatten the couple’s fortune in California — will have to convince Kim’s momager, Kris Jenner, that she has something worthwhile to bring to the table.

“Meghan’s gotten very tight with Kris. She’s someone who she goes to for business advice, but that doesn’t mean Meghan is automatically going to get to collaborate with Kim,” an insider shares.

“She’s going to have to prove that teaming up would be a benefit for Kim’s brand — and not just her own.”

As Globe previously reported, the duchess had made a sweet overture to Kris, 69, last year by gifting her a jar of jam — but a source said the glam grandma got cold feet over a collab with her kids after seeing how long it took Meghan, 44, to get her As Ever brand up and running.

Yet, the insider says, “Meghan is confident that a joint project with Kim would be a win for both of them. With their combined star power, she’s sure they could do massive sales. She thinks something wellness-focused could be the sweet spot.”

Skims has been 44-year-old Kim’s most successful company to date, with the chic shapewear and apparel brand generating $193 million in revenue in 2024 — and its recently released Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap sold out within hours of its debut, per Daily Mail.

“Meghan is obsessed with clean beauty, skincare and home rituals — and thinks that would pair perfectly with the Skims aesthetic,” the insider explains. “But Kim is cautious. She’s incredibly protective of her brand and doesn’t just jump into partnerships — no matter how famous the other person is.

“Meghan will have to bring more than just her name to the table, but she’s determined to make this happen and isn’t backing off.”
