Meghan Markle has one very important title — the Duchess of Sussex — but she’s also been an actress, blogger and philanthropist. Now she’s adding British Vogue guest-editor to her resume, as she took part in the September issue of the famed fashion magazine.
Don’t expect to see a glossy shot of Meghan on the edition’s cover. The issue will highlight “Forces of Change,” featuring 15 influential women, including Jameela Jamil, Yara Shahidi, Laverne Cox and Greta Thunberg.
British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful revealed that Meghan wanted to “focus on the women she admires” for the issue. Photographer Peter Lindbergh revealed one of Meghan’s request for the pictures: “My instructions from the Duchess were clear: ‘I want to see freckles!’”
Meghan interviewed Michelle Obama for the Q&A in the issue, over a “casual lunch of chicken tacos” (and her “ever-burgeoning bump”) where they discussed everything from motherhood to Michelle’s advice for her teenaged-self. When Meghan inquired about the most beautiful sound Michelle had ever heard, the former First Lady recalled daughters Malia and Sasha as newborns. After touching on how she and Barack used to lose hours watching their babies sleep, she added, “Don’t get me wrong, early parenthood is exhausting. I’m sure you know a thing or two about that these days. But there is something so magical about having a baby in the house. Time expands and contracts; each moment holds its own little eternity.”
British Vogue’s September issue hits newsstands on Friday, August 2.
