The Duchess of Sussex has released unseen footage from her time as guest editor of British Vogue, sparking speculation about a potential relaunch of the Sussex brand. The video, posted on Instagram, shows Meghan meeting with editor-in-chief Edward Enninful to discuss the project and celebrate its success.
In the behind-the-scenes clip, Meghan recalls how the collaboration began with a text message in January 2019, initially to discuss her Smart Works charity. Enninful remembers his excitement at meeting her at Kensington Palace, where she insisted he call her Meghan. The Duchess then reveals she decided to 'push it a little bit more' and asked to guest edit the September issue.
Enninful praises Meghan's editorial eye, calling her the first guest editor in Vogue's history. Meghan says she left fashion to the professionals but requested a Commonwealth theme and sustainability. She expresses pride that the issue reflects a diverse range of women, adding: 'Anyone, no matter who they are picking up this issue, should be able to see themselves in it.'
The pair are shown calling some of the women featured, including model Adwoa Aboah, who called it 'a f***ing great project', and actress Jane Fonda, who commended Meghan's 'strong voice'. The edition sold out in 10 days, becoming the fastest-selling issue of the decade.
The release of the footage comes after Meghan and Prince Harry stepped down as senior royals and moved to Canada, fuelling rumours of a relaunch of their Sussex brand.
