Meghan Markle was reportedly prevented from appearing on the cover of British Vogue’s September 2022 issue, according to insiders. The decision came after reported tensions between the Duchess’s team and British Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour over what was described as “micromanaging” of the cover details.
Originally, the feature was set to highlight Meghan’s charitable work, but disagreements over the cover presentation led to the planned spotlight being shelved. Sources say that the disputes also caused friction between Meghan and former British Vogue editor Edward Enninful, sparking rumors of a fallout within fashion circles.

An insider revealed to the Mail that Meghan’s team was pushing for specific straplines on the cover, which created frustration among the Vogue editorial staff. “Anna heard about the situation and essentially banned her, saying, ‘That’s it. We are not doing this,’” the source explained.
Following the breakdown in talks, Meghan was ultimately removed from the issue, which instead showcased Canadian supermodel Linda Evangelista on the cover. This episode marked a rare public clash between one of the world’s most influential fashion magazines and a high-profile celebrity figure.
