Meghan took a step into the unknown when she published the September 2019 issue of Vogue. Like Princess Diana and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, before her, she was asked to appear on the cover of the iconic fashion magazine. However, Meghan refused the chance to follow in their footsteps and decided to go further – asking her if she could edit as a guest.
While pregnant with her baby, Archie, she worked tirelessly on the project and appealed to many celebrity contacts – including Michelle Obama – to make a contribution.
His initiative of publishing the magazine as a guest rather than appearing on the cover, like Kate and Diana, has sparked controversy among some royal observers.
Rumors of rivalry between royal families peaked in November when Meghan and Prince Harry chose to settle at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor rather than stay at Kensington Palace with Kate and Prince William.
Shortly after the announcement, Royal correspondent Camilla Tominey told two sources that "Kate had been left in tears" by Meghan following a disguise of Princess Charlotte before the royal wedding of the Duchess of Susbad in May.
However, it does not appear that such a rivalry played a role in Meghan's decision to make the guest-edit.
In a Times article, Edward Enninful, editor of Vogue, revealed that Meghan was never really interested in appearing on the cover of the magazine in the traditional sense of the word.
Speaking to Helen Rumbelow, he claimed that Vogue "had drawn something" and that the bosses were turning to a "cover photo shoot to promote one of Meghan's favorite charities".
Then, according to Meghan's own story in the magazine, she sent Mr. Enninful a text that changed everything.
She claims to have "typed and suppressed the question many times" until she got the courage to ask what she really wanted.
The text would read as follows: "Instead of making the cover, would you be open to me to edit your September issue?
As Ms. Rumbelow notes, Meghan "gave herself the editorial voice that other royal women, such as the Duchess of Cambridge, chose not to exercise".
However, Mr Enninful reacted favorably to this decision, saying that the Duchess of Susbad "regarded the world as a publisher".
Kate, meanwhile, was doing the cover of the June 2016 edition of Vogue – but unlike Meghan, she did not change it.
His appearance on the cover of the magazine marked the centenary exhibition of the Vogue exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery.
Kate wore a remarkable fedora green hat, a flawless white shirt and a brown leather jacket on the cover photo.
The Duchess of Cambridge also took part in a 10-page shoot in the June 2016 issue, the first magazine shoot she agreed to.
Meghan's coverage, on the other hand, features a diverse mix of 15 revolutionary women, including New Zealand premier Jacinda Ardern and teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg.
Speaking about the project, Meghan said, "These last seven months have been a rewarding process. We collaborated with Edward Enninful, editor – in – chief of British Vogue, to capture the most – read fashion issue of the year and to focus on values. , the causes and the people who have an impact in the world today.
"Through this perspective, I hope you will feel the strength of the collective in the diverse selection of women chosen for the cover as well as in the support team that I called in the number to help highlight this reality.
"I hope readers will feel as inspired as me by the forces of change that they will find in these pages."
The two women follow in the footsteps of Princess Diana, who made the front page of the magazine in 1981.
