Meghan Markle is a woman of the people, despite the negative coverage she received by the British tabloid press.
In fact, prior to her decision to step down from her royal duties, the Duchess of Sussex made history in one of the most prestigious fashion magazines in the United Kingdom.
Last year, Markle became the first-ever guest-editor for the British Vogue’s iconic September issue, in its long 103-year history. With the theme, “Forces of Change,” the issue featured 15 women who have promoted change, from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie to Laverne Cox and more.
If that wasn’t enough, the actress’ issue went on to secure two more records for the prestigious magazine, as the “Forces of Change” issue became the fastest-selling in the history of the magazine and the “biggest-selling issue of the past decade.”
“I’m thrilled to report that newsstand sales of #BritishVogue are up in the second half of 2019, but the real highlight for me is the performance of our September 2019 issue,” Edward Enninful, Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue announced. “#ForcesForChange, guest-edited by The Duchess of Sussex, was our fastest selling issue in the history of British Vogue (sold out in 10 days) and the biggest-selling issue of the past decade.”
To celebrate the magazine’s historic feat, Enninful also shared a behind-the-scenes video of Meghan, where they discussed the powerful issue and more.
