While such demands reportedly stalled the opportunity, it’s believed Meghan continues to pursue a major Vogue feature, possibly taking inspiration from Adele, who appeared on both British Vogue and American Vogue simultaneously in November 2021.

Attempts to Pitch Directly to Anna Wintour

According to Page Six, Markle even arranged a personal Zoom call with Wintour in an attempt to pitch her vision directly. “Anna wasn’t interested,” a source revealed, adding that the magazine already had tennis star—and Meghan’s close friend—Serena Williams lined up as the cover star.

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

The Princess of Wales Politely Declined a Vogue Cover

While Meghan’s efforts have yet to yield a Vogue cover, her sister-in-law Princess Kate was reportedly offered one by Anna Wintour herself—but declined.

Kate previously appeared on the cover of British Vogue in 2016 for the magazine’s centenary issue, then as the Duchess of Cambridge. That edition went on to become one of the publication’s best-selling issues in history.

Meghan’s Previous Work with Vogue

Although she has never graced a Vogue cover, Meghan collaborated with the publication in 2019 as a guest editor for British Vogue’s September issue, titled “Forces for Change.” The edition spotlighted influential women around the world and was released while she was still a working member of the royal family.

Now, with American Vogue under new leadership, Meghan’s latest meeting has reignited speculation that she may finally be preparing for her long-awaited fashion magazine debut.
