Royal and fashion lovers, you’re going to want to grab a copy of British Vogue‘s September issue pronto! Because a certain Duchess of Sussex is going to be running the show.
That’s right, Duchess Meghan is set to flex her creative muscles after reports surfaced that she will guest edit and star in the fashion publication.
But don’t get your hopes too high as according to The Sun, HRH is not keen to grace the cover and there will be no bonus images of Prince Harry and Archie. Instead, the Duchess of Sussex wants to focus on causes close to her heart.
A magazine source said: “Meghan is going to write a piece on causes such as female empowerment and women’s education.
“This is nothing to do with Archie, or family, or home life. It’s purely on women’s empowerment.”
Don’t expect to see Harry and Archie in the magazine with her.

Understandable, seeing as the British born journalist formerly described Meghan as “amazing” and praised her hard work ethic.
Referencing reports that some members of the royal household were confused and upset that Meghan starts her day at 5am every morning, Anna said the royal was “a normal California girl, gets up early, does yoga and meditates.”
“And also [they’re upset that she] sent a lot of text messages. I mean what do they expect? That she was gonna send messages via pigeon?”

This isn’t Meghan’s first foray into the world of magazines.
When she and Prince Harry were just two crazy kids in love, the then-Suits star spilled on her relationship with the red-headed royal to Vanity Fair, not only confirming the news that had only been rumours before, but also starring on the cover.
“I can tell you that at the end of the day I think it’s really simple,” she told the publication in October 2017 of the media frenzy surrounding her and her then royal boyfriend.
“We’re two people who are really happy and in love. We were very quietly dating for about six months before it became news, and I was working during that whole time, and the only thing that changed was people’s perception. Nothing about me changed. I’m still the same person that I am, and I’ve never defined myself by my relationship.”
Duchess Meghan has had experience with magazines, most famously for her Vanity Fair

Duchess Catherine featured in British Vogue as part of the National Portrait Gallery in London’s Vogue exhibition in June 2016 for its centenary edition and we swooned seeing her in her country chic ensembles.
“The Duchess was delighted to play a part in celebrating the centenary of an institution that has given a platform to some of the most renowned photographers in this country’s history,” a spokesman for the Duchess of Cambridge said at the time.
“The Duchess had never taken part in a photography shoot like this before. She hopes that people appreciate the portraits with the sense of relaxed fun with which they were taken.”
Duchess Catherine’s Vogue photos were displayed at the Vogue 100: A Century of Style exhibition at London’s National Portrait Gallery of which Kate is patron.
