The ultimate sign that everything was not right between one-off friends Meghan Markle and Edward Enninful-as their ‘secret bust’ is revealed

From Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss And Gigi Hadid At Salma Hayek, Naomi Campbell and Miley Cyrus, 40 beautiful British Vogue stars came together to shoot the cover of Edward Enninful last edition.

But for royal fans, Meghan Markle, 43, was noticeably absent in the impressive line -up – who also included her friends Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, and Jameela Jamil.

Prior to the publication of the number of March 2024, the Duchess of SussexThe supporters of her doubt about her lack of appearance in the cover, given that Prince Harry’s wife was known to be friends with the former editor of British Vogue.

Since then, however, it has been clear that the duo is no longer in proverbs – and the reason for the fall -out, which is thought that it happened about two years prior to the last coverage of the Lord Enninful, one of the most tightly guarded secrets of fashion has remained.

But the post on Sunday revealed this weekend that their friendship imploded during a disagreement about how Vogue was planning a shiny showcase of Meghan and Prince HarryThe charity work.

The coverage, designed to join Meghan’s Keynote appearance at the One Young World Summit in Manchester in September 2022, is said to have involved extensive functions in the magazine and his digital editions.

But Conde Nast Insiders claim that it was pulled abruptly and completely demolished.

A source said: ‘The Duchess and her team had high expectations and expected that she would get a print cover or at least a digital coverage, but Enninful could not satisfy those expectations. He already had a magazine in the bag for that month. ‘

The project that the project would have said would have caused irreparable damage to their friendship. “Edward was furious to have lost the project, just like the powers that were NAST at Conde,” a source told the Mos.

“The whole process became very difficult. Edward could only promise her a great feature function in the magazine and online – but she rejected it. ‘

According to insiders, the project needed a complete production team, including photographers, videographers, stylists and editors to make exclusive images and to film an in -depth video function with the Sussexes.

Sources claim that after Mr Enninful had explained that he had another coverage in mind, the Meghan team had asked if the couple could appear on Vogue’s special digital cover instead, that is, that is released next to the printed edition.

But again, it is clear that Mr Enninful refused. “He didn’t think it was appropriate to give her the cover,” the source explained.

It was then that the Meghan team pulled the plug. The relationships between the couple have never been recovered.

Sources add that in the years that followed Mr Enninful has increased his public involvement with the royal family and claims that this is not something that Meghan could easily overlook, especially because he initially supported her notorious ‘Megxit’ Oprah interview in 2021.

The following year Mr Enninful spoke with Sky News about criticism Meghan when she came to the royal family, with the argument that he did not believe it was exclusively on racism.

He described the Duchess as a “brave woman” and said, “parts of it were probably racism, but it was more of an institution.”

He added that although criticism was’ hard ‘, he’ he would not just blame racism ‘and said,’ She walked in an institution and everyone expected that she would know the rules. And I think it sometimes takes a while to understand the rules. ‘

The Lord Enniful, who previously praised King Charles as a monarch that “can evolve over time,” just said he believed that the treatment of her was “very unfair.”

The last shoot of Mr Enninful as editor-in-chief released 40 stars about Hollywood and the fashion industry, including Spice Girl and fashion designer Victoria Beckham, Love Island-Gastheer Maya Jama and Supermodel Naomi Campbell.

‘While I step into my new role, as the global creative and cultural adviser of Conde Nast for Vogue, I am determined to continue to defend the incredible series of voices in fashion and media and to ensure that we retain the energy explosion of recent years.
