Meghan Markle was recently seen warmly embracing the iconic Vogue leader, Anna Wintour, at Paris Fashion Week. Despite past tensions, the two appeared to have reconciled during Meghan’s surprise visit to the French capital, marking her first European trip in three years for the prestigious fashion event.
While attending Balenciaga’s Spring/Summer 2026 womenswear presentation, Meghan turned heads in an elegant all-white outfit, standing out as Prince Harry was notably absent from the event. In a video shared online, Meghan greeted Wintour with a friendly exchange, indicating a positive turn in their relationship.
This interaction seems to have put to rest long-standing rumors of discord between the two, stemming from reported disagreements over Meghan’s involvement with Vogue. In 2019, Meghan served as a guest editor for British Vogue, curating the highly successful “Forces for Change” issue, which celebrated inspirational women.
However, tensions arose when Meghan allegedly made specific demands to the editorial team, leading to a rift between her and the then-editor-in-chief, Edward Enninful. Despite Enninful’s inability to meet all of Meghan’s requests, she reportedly sought assistance from Wintour to secure dual covers for the US and UK editions, a move that was ultimately unsuccessful.
The fallout from this incident supposedly strained Meghan and Enninful’s relationship, resulting in the cancellation of the planned feature and leaving Enninful disappointed. While reports differ on the extent of the fallout, it is suggested that the incident caused a significant rift between Meghan and Enninful.
Nonetheless, conflicting sources indicate that Meghan and Wintour maintain a cordial friendship, with occasional exchanges of birthday greetings and flowers, despite their past disagreements. Although Meghan has not graced the cover of Vogue yet, her sister-in-law, Princess Kate, has had notable appearances in the magazine, showcasing her love for the countryside in a landmark issue.
Recent rumors suggest that Princess Kate was offered a prominent feature in Vogue, granting her substantial editorial control over a “global cover” for both US and UK editions. While the offer was reportedly extended by Wintour herself, subsequent statements from Wintour have cast doubt on the validity of these claims.
