Meghan Markle is facing yet another high-profile challenge, this time against reality TV star and mogul Kim Kardashian. Princess Diana's iconic 'revenge dress' is set to go under the hammer for a hefty sum on December 9. Reports suggest that the former 'Suits' actress is keen to make the headline-making purchase, but she faces stiff competition from elite collectors.

According to media reports, Kim Kardashian is determined to own the dress, alongside other prominent figures such as Salma Hayek, Lady Gaga, and wealthy Qatari and Saudi collectors. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have reportedly faced financial hurdles recently, may encounter budget constraints given the expected high value of the gown.

However, sources indicate that Meghan remains eager to pursue the purchase for sentimental and documentary reasons, while Prince Harry is said to be more hesitant due to painful memories of his parents' past. The interest from high-profile celebrities has significantly amplified media speculation surrounding the upcoming auction event.

Industry experts believe that the bidding war could drive the final price to unprecedented heights, making it one of the most talked-about auctions of the year. The winning bidder will be officially revealed on the day of the auction, settling the intense competition once and for all.
