Meghan Markle, Edward Enninful Fallout Over Scrapped Vogue Charity Cover

Meghan Markle and British Vogue's former editor-in-chief Edward Enninful, once close friends bonded over shared interests, experienced a significant fallout over a Vogue feature planned to showcase Meghan and Prince Harry's charitable work in conjunction with Meghan's keynote at the One Young World Summit in 2022. Their long-anticipated coverage, which involved extensive print and digital features, was abruptly canceled in favor of another cover, leading to Meghan and her team's high disappointment and expectations for a print or digital cover that went unmet. Meghan's subsequent requests to appear on Vogue's special digital cover were denied by Enninful, who deemed it inappropriate, deepening the rift between them. The shelving of this project and the denial of cover opportunities caused irreparable damage to their relationship, with sources stating that Enninful and the Conde Nast powers were frustrated at losing the project. The dispute remains one of fashion's most closely guarded secrets but is now public, highlighting how the professional disagreement turned personal and ended their friendship. Additionally, Enninful's growing involvement with the Royal Family's charitable initiatives, such as his trustee role at The King’s Fund, contrasts with Meghan's exclusion from recent Vogue covers, underscoring the estrangement.
