Meghan Markle and iconic Vogue chief Anna Wintour shared a warm embrace at Paris Fashion Week, sparking speculation about their relationship. The Duchess of Sussex made a solo appearance at the prestigious event, her first in Europe in three years, without her husband, Prince Harry. Amid past rumors of discord between Meghan and Anna, the two were seen exchanging pleasantries, with Anna complimenting Meghan on her attire.
Their friendly interaction at the event seemed to dispel ongoing rumors of tension between them, particularly following alleged disagreements surrounding Meghan’s involvement with Vogue. In 2019, Meghan served as a guest editor for a record-breaking edition of British Vogue, collaborating with editor-in-chief Edward Enninful to highlight inspirational women in the “Forces for Change” issue.
Reports surfaced about Meghan’s purported demands for editorial control over her coverage, leading to friction with Enninful. Despite Enninful’s inability to meet her requests, Meghan sought to secure dual covers for the US and UK editions by reaching out to Anna Wintour. However, her efforts were reportedly met with resistance, leading to the cancellation of the planned feature and strained relations between Meghan, Enninful, and Wintour.
While conflicting reports suggest varying degrees of discord, sources claim that the fallout resulted in a rift between Meghan and her former industry contacts. Despite the disagreements, some insiders maintain that Meghan and Anna still share a cordial relationship, exchanging pleasantries and occasional gestures of goodwill.
Body language experts analyzing their recent encounter at Fashion Week suggest that while their public interaction appeared amicable, it may have been more of a professional formality than a genuine display of friendship. Amidst ongoing speculations, it’s worth noting that while Kate Middleton has previously graced the cover of Vogue, Meghan’s aspirations for a similar feature have yet to materialize.
