Tensions have reportedly flared between Meghan Markle and British Vogue editor Edward Enninful after a disagreement over a high-profile magazine feature led to a falling out between the once-close friends.
According to sources within Condé Nast, the Duchess of Sussex was left “disappointed” after Enninful was unable to deliver on what she and her team had hoped would be a significant spotlight moment—potentially a cover story, either in print or digital.

A Condé Nast insider told the Daily Mail, “The Duchess and her team had high expectations and were expecting she might get a print cover or at least a digital cover out of it, but Enninful was not able to meet those expectations.”
The insider explained that the issue came down to scheduling and editorial commitments. “He already had a magazine cover in the bag for that month,” the source said, suggesting the publication’s lineup was already set and could not accommodate a change.
Instead, Enninful reportedly offered Meghan a substantial feature inside the magazine and an accompanying online presence. However, the Duchess ultimately declined the proposal. “The whole process became very difficult. Edward could only promise her a big showy feature inside the magazine and online – but she turned it down,” the insider added.
The reported fallout is surprising to many royal watchers and fashion insiders, as Markle and Enninful were previously seen as close collaborators. Their relationship became public when the Duchess guest-edited the September 2019 issue of British Vogue, titled “Forces for Change.”
The edition featured influential women from various sectors and was widely praised at the time for its inclusive and empowering message. However, this latest development suggests the professional relationship may have cooled, with conflicting expectations reportedly creating friction behind the scenes.

Neither Meghan Markle’s representatives nor Edward Enninful has commented publicly on the matter. Enninful, who recently stepped down as editor-in-chief of British Vogue and is transitioning into a new global role at Condé Nast, has maintained a prominent position in the fashion world and is known for championing diversity and cultural innovation.
As the Duchess of Sussex continues to navigate her post-royal life in the public eye with ongoing ventures in media, philanthropy, and fashion, this reported dispute highlights the complex dynamics involved in maintaining celebrity influence in today’s high-stakes editorial landscape.
