Queues for magazine edited by duchess

ROYAL-LOVING readers queued yesterday to buy the new edition of British Vogue magazine which was guest edited by Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex and wife of the UK’S Prince Harry.

Meghan, who gave birth to her first child in May, spent seven months working with the magazine’s editor-inchief Edward Enninful for the September issue which featured 15 women she considered “Forces for Change” on the cover.

Sandria Plummer, 55, one of those who waited to buy the magazine, said she was excited about the diverse contents Meghan had chosen.

“It’s special because the Duchess of Sussex is the editor for this month and... it’s a once in a lifetime thing to have, it’s a collectors’ item so I’m excited that I’ve got two copies,” she said.

Former actress Meghan, 37, said she had sought to steer the focus of the September issue – usually the year’s most read – to “the values, causes and people making impact in the world today”.

The cover of the magazine features figures such as teenage climate change campaigner Greta Thunberg, New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Arden, boxer Ramla Ali and actress and women’s rights advocate Salma Hayek Pinault.

“I hope readers feel as inspired as I do, by the ‘Forces for Change’ they’ll find within these pages,” Meghan said. | Reuters ANA
