Meghan Markle shares behind-the-scenes footage of collaboration with Vogue [video]

Meghan Markle recently took to Instagram to share a previously unseen video of her time guest editing Vogue magazine back in 2019.

In the clip, she and British Vogue’s Edward Enninful celebrate their landmark September collaboration.

A Top Seller

It is reported that Meghan’s guest-edited issue became the UK fashion magazine’s fastest-selling in its history and its top seller of the past decade.

The video, posted on the Sussex Royal Instagram account, shows Meghan and Enninful reminisce on the moments leading up to the project.

The video shot at Vogue’s London headquarters last August, also reveals that the project began with a text message the previous January.

“I wanted to see if you would help me with Smart Works (the Duchess’s charitable clothing collection), right? And so, there we were, having tea,” Meghan says. “From January to now, (that’s) how much we’ve been working on this, and for me to just say, yes, you would help me on Smart Works – amazing. And maybe I could push it just a little bit more and see if you would be willing to let me guest edit.”

Enninful then tells her: “You wanted to focus on women who are changing the world, women who are doing incredible things. Which really is in line with what we do at British Vogue.”

Meghan replies: “Yes, and then having the mirror. Anyone, no matter who they are picking up this issue, should be able to see themself in it, and that’s what I feel really proud that we’ve accomplished.”

Stepping Down

The video comes after Prince Harry and Meghan announced that they intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the royal family and work to become financially independent ‘after many months of reflection and internal discussions’.

In an Instagram post, the couple said that they are taking a step back but will continue to support Queen Elizabeth II as they have made the choice to transition into what they call a new working model.

As they step back as senior members of the royal family and no longer receive funding through the sovereign grant, they will become members of the royal family with financial independence which is something they look forward to.
