Overview

• Markle’s six demands included authority over photographer, writer, final edits, photos, cover lines and a simultaneous UK-US global cover—requests Page Six says exceed those granted to Beyoncé.
• British Vogue editor Edward Enninful had already booked supermodel Linda Evangelista for the September 2022 cover and refused to replace her, prompting Markle to pull out of the collaboration.
• Meghan arranged a personal Zoom pitch with US Vogue chief Anna Wintour for a dual-cover plan, but Wintour had already locked in Serena Williams and politely declined to accommodate her.
• The Vogue feature was tied to Markle’s keynote at the One Young World Summit in Manchester but was ultimately abandoned after the cover dispute.
• Despite reports of a fallout, sources say Markle and Enninful still exchange birthday wishes and flowers, maintaining a warm and respectful connection.
