Meghan Markle's 'impossible' demands for 2022 Vogue issue revealed

Megan Markle and former British Vogue editor Edward Enninful reportedly had a difficult disagreement over a cover in 2022.

A source has lifted the lid on the former royal's impossible list of demands made at the time, including insisting on a global cover, per Page Six.

It was first revealed initially this week that Markle and Enniful—who are said to no longer be on speaking terms—had planned to feature Markle’s keynote appearance at the One Young World Summit in Manchester for UK Vogue September 2022 issue, which also “involved extensive features across the magazine and its digital editions.”

However, Markle eventually pulled the plug when she wanted a "global cover" to begin with—meaning appearance on the covers of UK and US Vogue simultaneously—but Enniful already had a star booked for it, Page Six has reported.

“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. He already had a magazine cover in the bag for that month,” an insider said.

“Meghan asked for control over [the] photographer, writer, final edit, photos, cover lines, and wanted a global issue,” the source stated.

The source added that no editor would have accommodated such demands regardless of anyone's popularity.

“Nobody gets that. Not even Beyoncé,” the source said. So far, Adele is the only celebrity to have appeared on both US and UK covers simultaneously for the November 2021 issues.

The source further claimed that the Duchess of Sussex even went to the lengths of setting up a personal Zoom call with Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour to extend her plea.

“Anna wasn’t interested,” the source revealed, adding the magazine already had its own cover star, Serena Williams.

“Meghan asked for a Zoom with her to reconsider, and Anna did it to be polite.”

Another source insists that Markle never sought a cover from Vogue and it was the magazine itself approaching the Duchess of Sussex after her wedding to Prince Harry.

They said Enninful had previously asked Markle to be on the cover of British Vogue’s 2019 “Forces for Change” issue, but she chose to guest edit instead.

Markle did wind up getting a September 2022 cover at the time when she was promoting her now failed “Archetypes” podcast. She appeared on the digital cover of New York magazine’s The Cut, which also featured another digital cover with Megan Thee Stallion.
