The world considers Vogue as the fashion bible and Meghan Markle guest-edited its September 2019 issue. It highlighted some women who, Meghan feels, are the “Forces for Change.” They include Jacinta Ardern and Greta Thunberg and the issue bagged the Diversity Initiative of the Year award.

The Professional Publishers Association (PPA) presents this. It speaks volumes for Megan Markle and her ability to deliver. She said she is “honored” as the issue of Vogue she guest-edited won recognition in the form of an award. In view of threats of coronavirus, PPA held the event virtually.

This is becoming the latest trend. The PPA says - “One judge commented that the forces for change issue felt like a ‘genuine media ground-breaking moment’.”

Yahoo says Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, said the recognition of the special issue of Vogue was an honor for her. She also thanked Edward Enninful, editor of British Vogue, for his involvement in creating a special issue. In her words, the September issue of Vogue reflected the world of today. It was not only beautiful but was strong in its diversity. Edward bagged the additional honor of the ‘best editor’ bestowed by PPA.

Incidentally, the prized issue sold out in 10 days to become the fastest-selling issue in the history of British Vogue. In addition, it was the biggest selling issue of the decade. The influence it had on the public is evident from the Change-Maker talks inspired by Meghan’s “Forces for Change.” The success of this venture marks Meghan out as a woman who does not hesitate to try out new concepts.

Meghan has made an impression

According to Town and Country Mag, the collaboration of Meghan Markle and British Vogue could be a forerunner of changes.

The issue guest-edited by Meghan saw commercial success. It turned out to be the fastest-selling edition in the magazine's 104-year history. The issue won awards including one for its editor.

The issue's cover featured a number of influential women but Meghan was not among them. She did not want to take center stage but wanted to focus on the women she admires. It was her way of saying thank you to the world. When she decided to take on the responsibility of guest editing the issue, she was a part of the British royal family. However, she and her husband Harry have stepped away from royal duties and are in search of a new life far away from Britain.
