Meghan Markle Turned Down the Cover of 'British Vogue' to Be The Guest Editor Instead

Meghan Markle Turned Down the Cover of 'British Vogue' to Be The Guest Editor Instead

Meghan Markle, aka HRH The Duchess of Sussex, is the guest editor of British Vogue‘s September 2019 issue and her guest editor letter has been released.

In the letter, the 37-year-old royal reveals that she was initially asked to be on the cover of the issue, but she decided to ask to be the guest editor instead.

Meghan wrote about her first meeting with the mag’s editor-in-chief Edward Enninful and how she mustered up the courage to ask for the role.

“Within hours of our meeting’s end, we were already texting one another – philosophizing about how to communicate this shared understanding and the lens through which we see the world, how to pivot from a perspective of frustration to one of optimism. So I asked the question,” Meghan wrote. “Actually, I typed and deleted the question several times until I built up the courage to ask the question in question. ‘Edward… instead of doing the cover, would you be open to me guest editing your September issue?’”

Of course, he said yes!

“I was about five months pregnant when this process began, and by the time you hold this issue in your hands, my husband and I will be holding our three-month-old baby boy in ours,” Meghan wrote in the letter. “It’s a very special time for me personally, on so many levels; working with Edward and his team, both during my pregnancy and my maternity leave, has played no small part in that joy – it has been a privilege to be welcomed and supported by this amazing team. To Edward, thank you for entrusting me with this. I am deeply honored. To the women who have taken my aspirations for this issue and brought them to life by being a part of this time capsule, both on the cover and in-book, I am so grateful; you are inspirations to me and I’m humbled by your support.”
