Anna Wintour Rejects Meghan’s Request for Vogue Cover: Sussex’s Christmas Photo Snubbed

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have faced a tumultuous year, and their efforts to spread holiday cheer have hit a roadblock.

In their Archwell Foundation newsletter, they unveiled their 2023 holiday card, featuring a picture of the couple taken at the closing ceremony of the 2023 Invictus Games.

Meghan wore a stunning column gown from Cult Gea, adorned with turquoise floral cutout details, while Harry donned a tailored dark blue suit with a black button-down.

However, their decision to exclude their children from the photo raised eyebrows among their followers.

Critics ridiculed the couple for choosing an earlier November photo instead of a more recent one, accusing them of being self-centered and attention-seeking.

But the most surprising rejection came from British Vogue magazine, which turned down Meghan's request to feature their Christmas card on the cover.

Despite Meghan's representative offering to pay the fee, Anna Wintour, the influential editor-in-chief of Vogue, ignored the demand.

This snub is a clear indication that the British royal family and the Sussexes are not on good terms.

Appearing on the cover of British Vogue would have helped Meghan and Harry dispel rumors about their strained relationship with King Charles.

However, the magazine's decision to reject them seems to be a strategic move to avoid further tensions with the royal family.

Placing Meghan and Harry on a British magazine cover could potentially spark outrage among the British public.

It seems that the best way for the family to have a peaceful Christmas holiday is to let go of the traitor and disgraceful figure.

In 2019, Meghan made history as the first guest editor of Vogue's September issue, featuring 15 women she admired.

However, the issue faced criticism for being overly political, preachy, and self-indulgent.

Some of the women chosen by Meghan, such as activist Greta Thunberg and actress Jameela Jamil, had previously clashed with the royal family or the British public.

Edward Enninful, Vogue's editor-in-chief and a close friend of Meghan's, defended the issue, describing it as a bold and courageous endeavor.

This rejection from Vogue comes at a time when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have faced several setbacks in their business ventures throughout the year.

Leading royal commentator Kinsey Schofield labeled 2023 as the worst year of their professional lives, despite a few commercial successes.

Schofield stated, “I think that this has been professionally the worst year of Harry and Meghan's lives.”

She also pointed out that the couple's decision to release a Christmas video earlier than usual might be an attempt to divert attention from their failures and start 2024 on a different note.

Prince Harry's memoir, “Spare,” became the fastest-selling non-fiction book ever, and their Archwell Foundation received £950,000 in donations.

However, this amount pales in comparison to the £7.1 million they earned in 2021.

Despite their financial success, The Hollywood Reporter dubbed them the biggest losers of 2023.

It seems that Meghan and Harry have a lot to reflect on as they navigate their future endeavors.
