Tatler magazine has declared the old school trophy wife is dead, with today’s super-rich bachelors now seeking a feminist who has ‘an Oxbridge first, a high-flying career and several charitable foundations’.
Citing Meghan Markle and human rights lawyer Amal Clooney as perfect examples they nevertheless say some thing’s have not changed and she must still be ‘extremely hot’.
‘The old-school trophy wife has been consigned to the scrapheap of history, and today’s discerning bachelor now pines for a power player in her own right,’ explains the high society magazine.
‘She’s now a Meghan Markle, a Priyanka Chopra, a Lady Bamford. Her high priestess? Amal Clooney.’

The upper-class magazine claims rich and powerful men no longer want a model or actress who simply looks good on their arm.
In this month’s editorial, they say: ‘A sea-change is sweeping through the enclaves of the super-rich.
‘Blondes, Birkins and boob jobs are out – PhDs, pencil skirts and polemics against the patriarchy are in.
‘The trophy wife of today is distinguished by her panoply of qualifications: she has an Oxbridge first, a high-flying career, is woke and has several charitable foundations under her Gucci belt.’

It goes on to say that 2019’s super-spouse is not about materialism and what she can buy, but more about what she can do.
‘Gone are the days of sitting quietly on charity committees. Instead, she’ll set up her own foundation.
‘She’s empowering women, she’s giving speeches at the UN, she’s establishing an energy efficiency consultancy.
‘She is still, of course, extremely hot – some things never change.’
