Meghan Markle’s Vogue Snub: The Inside Scoop
In a surprising twist, royal experts are shedding light on why Meghan Markle has been notably absent from the cover of British Vogue, five years after she made headlines by editing the September 2019 edition.
This revelation comes amid a brewing conflict between the Duchess of Sussex and the magazine's editorial team, prompting speculation about her current standing within the fashion world.
The March 2024 issue of British Vogue is poised to be a significant milestone, marking the end of an era under editor-in-chief Edward Enninful.
This edition will feature 40 iconic cover stars from his tenure, including notable names like Victoria Beckham, Gigi Hadid, and Jordan Dunn.
However, Meghan's absence from this celebratory issue raises eyebrows, especially considering her previous involvement with the magazine.
Reports suggest that tensions flared during Meghan's time as guest editor in 2019.
A US-based royal commentator revealed that disagreements arose between Meghan and the British Vogue team, leading to a rather frosty relationship.
It seems that while Meghan was eager to make a splash, the editorial staff felt overwhelmed and frustrated by her approach.
Sources close to the situation described the staff at British Vogue as “silently angry,” struggling to align with Meghan's vision.
Her directives were perceived as superficial, lacking a coherent rationale, which only added to the discord.
Interestingly, it was noted that Meghan never sought to clarify her position, perhaps to sidestep any potential confrontations.
In the lead-up to the launch of her special issue, Meghan reportedly urged the team to amplify her cause through social media.
However, this request seemed to catch the editorial team off guard, who believed that such an approach would complicate matters further.
This disconnect between Meghan and the magazine's staff appears to have left a lasting impact.
Adding another layer to this story, some insiders speculate that someone within the Vogue team may have leaked information back to Meghan, indicating a possible breach of trust.
Meanwhile, the Duchess's husband, Prince Harry, recently made a trip to the UK to visit his father, King Charles, following the monarch's cancer diagnosis.
Interestingly, Meghan opted not to accompany Harry on his 11-hour flight, choosing instead to remain in the United States with their two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
