Overview

• Meghan Markle reportedly requested full creative control over her feature in the September 2022 issue of British Vogue, including control over the photographer, writer, final edit, and cover lines.
• She also sought a simultaneous cover appearance on both the US and UK editions of Vogue, a request denied by editors Edward Enninful and Anna Wintour.
• Linda Evangelista had already been confirmed as the cover star for British Vogue, while US Vogue had booked Serena Williams, leading to scheduling conflicts with Meghan's demands.
• Meghan pulled out of the project after learning she would not be on the cover, which reportedly caused a fallout with Edward Enninful, though sources claim they still exchange birthday wishes and flowers.
• The dispute highlights the challenges of balancing celebrity demands with editorial decisions in high-profile media collaborations.
