Mail: Duchess Meghan ‘threw her toys out of the pram’ over British Vogue in 2022

I’m telling you, it’s incredibly curious to watch as this “Edward Enninful beefed with the Duchess of Sussex” story is being promoted everywhere in the British media. It’s extremely odd, and it feels like we’ll find out what this is really about in a few weeks or months. Like, Enninful will be put in charge of something to do with King Charles’s foundation and suddenly things will click into place. Sidenote: I still remember the “Meghan wants a Dior contract” storyline, which was hyped for weeks, only for Camilla to stagger outside in Dior and bam, everything made sense. Anyway, in the past week, we’ve heard that Enninful and Meghan fell out in 2022 when she “demanded” a British Vogue cover, only he refused to give her one, and then he was mad because she didn’t want a non-cover feature. There’s also been a weird amount of historical revisionism around Meghan’s British Vogue guest-editorship in 2019. As I said, curious all around. Well, the Mail’s royalist talk show had even more nasty things to say about Meghan re: her falling out with Enninful.

There have long been rumours amid fashion circles that [Enninful and the Duchess of Sussex] fell out over a planned feature in British Vogue about the Duke and Duchess’s charitable work in 2022. Now, the Mail’s team of unrivalled royal experts have delved into the truth behind Meghan and Edward’s friendship on the latest episode of Palace Confidential, questioning whether the style stalwart has become an ‘honorary member’ of the ‘Sussex Survivors’ Club’.

‘One of Meghan’s friends was the editor of British Vogue,’ Richard Eden, the Daily Mail’s Diary Editor, said. ‘Or he certainly used to be…The video was them wearing party hats, and they talked about their shared love of mint tea. Anyway, they were besties for a while these two. Then it clearly went badly wrong and they did that classic modern thing of unfollowing each other on social media but it was known that they were really not on speaking terms anymore.’

Pointing to a ‘very interesting’ article in the Mail on Sunday written by his colleague Charlotte Griffiths, Richard said it reveals ‘what actually went wrong’.

‘Meghan was hoping that Enninful would run in Vogue a big number on the [Sussexes’] charitable work,’ he explained. ‘This is going back to 2022 and she was hoping there would be a special that was to coincide with Meghan’s appearance at the One Young World Summit. I think she hoped for a cover of Vogue as well as a big spread online as well as the magazine. But it didn’t happen.’

Although the Duchess is said to have been relaxed with ‘no expectations’, her team supposedly had ‘high expectations for the piece’. A source told the MoS they were ‘expecting she might get a print cover or at least a digital cover out of it, but Enninful was not able to meet those expectations. ‘He already had a magazine cover in the bag for that month.’

Adding his own commentary on Palace Confidential, Richard said: ‘I think the problem was he had already designated a cover to the great former supermodel Linda Evangelista. It was a really striking cover and presumably they had been negotiating for ages.’

According to insiders, Meghan’s project needed a full production team including photographers, videographers, stylists and editors to shoot exclusive images and film an in-depth video feature with the royal couple. Shelving it is said to have caused irreparable damage to Meghan and Edward’s friendship.

‘Edward was furious to have lost the project, as were the powers that be at Conde Nast,’ a source told the MoS. The newspaper approached the Duchess of Sussex and Enninful for comment.

Richard added: ‘Meghan was so disappointed that it sounds like she threw her toys out of the pram and never spoke to Edward again.’

Turning back to her role as host, Jo turned to Rebecca and said: ‘On another note, the Sussexes do fall out with a lot of people, don’t they?’

‘I wonder if Edward Enninful has been given honorary membership of the Sussex Survivors Club?’ Rebecca said. ‘Oh, he may well have a t-shirt,’ Jo joked. ‘He could design the t-shirt.’

[From The Daily Mail]

None of this matters, but it’s driving me crazy that no one is worried that this story makes zero sense. Meghan wanted a cover, but really she didn’t have huge expectations, Enninful told her she wouldn’t get the cover, and it would have been really expensive to shoot a feature, but she turned down a feature and Enninful’s bosses were furious, no money was spent on the expensive feature which Meghan turned down, Meghan threw her toys out of the pram by turning down the feature, and Enninful and Meghan unfollowed each other on social media, even though she wasn’t on Instagram in 2022. Like, what are we doing here? And why all of the Enninful/Vogue stories in 2025? Something is going to happen to make this story click into place, I promise.

Enninful has been all over Cannes this week. Interesting.

    Sounds like he is mad at her for not being mad at vogue? Like “ha, you’re not getting the cover!” and she just shrugs.

  2. Dee(2) says:

    “Now, the Mail’s team of unrivalled royal experts” I….. seriously???

    As Kaiser noted she didn’t have social media in 2022 so how could they unfollow each other? If your going to lie at least make it a reasonable one. And yes this story doesn’t make sense, but as usual it’s Meghan that pitched a fit even though everyone else described in the story are the ones that are described as being frustrated and angry. Her saying no is throwing her toys out of the pram. Instead of no as a complete sentence which apparently isn’t allowed for her.

    Something else I noticed recently, when they were review bombing WLM. Long-term friends of theirs are described as sycophants, or being ” afraid” of Meghan and everyone else that they have business relationships with that end are the people that actually know them. I have a feeling that these people are cutoff because they are the ones who eventually are always found out to be spilling to the press. So we’ll see about Edward later this summer I’m sure.

    • Jais says:

      Yeah it’s the fact that they’re claiming they unfollowed each other on SM that gets me. Bc how? Makes zero sense.

      • Lawrenceville says:

        Jais, it’s not just that for me. It’s the fact that Duchess Meghan stopped having anything to do with British media (be it the tabloids or any magazines) back in 2020 when she left that island. All her subsequent interviews etc after 2020 were with American magazines/media. No one had Duchess Meghan’s (or Prince Harry) phone number outside of Archiwell or Duchess Meghan’s representatives, none of whom would leak any of this. The Duchess had her hands full at that time, with a toddler and the Sussexes were in heavy production of their Netflix show Harry and Meghan. Prince Harry was soon releasing Spare, etc. I don’t see them getting involved with Vogue UK or anyone else outside of Netflix for that matter. None of these stories make any sense, like at all.

      • Jais says:

        It really is bizarre. Bc what is even the point of it all? Even for the haters, it must be a shrug.

      • Christine says:

        Edward Enninful must be getting David Beckham’s knighthood.

    • Brassy Rebel says:

      To be fair, the Mail does have a team of “unrivaled royal experts”. No one can compete with them when it comes to making sh*t up. The world burns around us and the Mail is writing about Meghan beefing with a fashion editor (checks notes) three years ago. Tone deaf and timely. That’s the Mail.

    • Square2 says:

      “Long-term friends of theirs are described as sycophants, or being ” afraid” of Meghan…”

      More like scenario is: the accomplished POC in Britain are sycophants to BRF, or being afraid of the revenge-minded BRF & BM.

      Wasn’t Enninful treated badly by the lobby guard(s) at the buildingvthat housed British Vogue office when he came back to work after the COVID lockdown ended?

      Some very accomplished POC in UK, for whatever reasons, can ignore all the racist treatments they have personally experienced, and cozy up to the BRF. I have seen it multiple times, in every section of British society, so Enninful’s willingness to be used by RR (and BRF) is not surprising.

      P.S. Didn’t Enninful said he was loosing eyesight several years ago?

      • ARCADIANPRIMROSE says:

        Everytime I see M or H’s name i just change it out with one of the Windsor’s …in this case Katy or Camsy ‘

    • bisynaptic says:

      Yeah, should be, “the Mail’s unrivalled team of royal experts”. They need a good editor.

  3. Sue says:

    We’re about to see Comeback Kate on the cover of British Vogue, aren’t we?

    • sevenblue says:

      That is what it feels like. Either Kate or Camilla is negotiating for a cover and they are first making sure to lie to everyone that how much Meghan wanted it, but couldn’t get it.

    • Lady Esther says:

      Ding ding ding! You’re probably right. And I’m an old so I love and respect Linda Evangelista but for anyone to think Vogue would prefer a cover with her over Meghan…just no.

      Edward is paying what is now becoming the price to be paid for getting the future King and Queen’s approval: Smear Meghan (and Harry, bonus) in the media, make sure to include the key message “It’s all Meghan’s fault” and you’re in the clique.

    • Tina says:

      Ah yes I think you are right. The dior playbook.

    • Hypocrisy says:

      Exactly where my thoughts went.. especially because Eden is involved it has a WanK stench to it.

    • Jais says:

      Wasn’t there a weird story about Kate and a cover for Vogue a few months back.

    • Christine says:

      Okay, this makes sense.

    • bisynaptic says:

      Good call.

  4. Blogger says:

    “ One of Meghan’s friends was the editor of British Vogue.”

    Ermmmm, no. Besties? He wishes!

    Was he at her wedding?

    He wants a knighthood like Beckham but he’s always been sly and bitchy so he’ll do it this way.

    The rats are so obvious in their hate fest. Edward is a dreadful gossip and couldn’t keep Meghan’s 40 at 40 secret. Sucks to be Edward.

    • molly says:

      +1. Sounds like this was a standard business opportunity that didn’t work out for a variety of totally normal, professional reasons. And once talks ended, she had no reason to be connected with him and just…moved on.

      This endless, “Meghan was a tyrant four years ago, I PROMISE!!” media trend is tiresome and pathetic.

  5. Tina says:

    This story is so weird. Is it about Edward or about vogue/conde nast? Edward has already thrown his lot in with the Windsors when he wrote that ridiculous profile of Charles (and got dragged for it). Is Meghan getting a cover of something and they are trying to get ahead of it or damage it? As Kaiser said this is about something for sure.

  6. JENNIFER says:

    2 questions? Who is this story benefitting?
    How is this story benefitting Kate?
    Okay, third question,
    Is the daily mail aiming to get sued? Because this story sandwiched between the Diddy story feels like someone is trying to get a reaction.

  7. Charlie says:

    It will be amazing to see Meghan on the cover of American Vogue.

  8. SussexWatcher says:

    Kaiser, you make perfect sense with this nonsensical narrative being timed for some other purpose that will soon be known.

    Edward Enninful should be absolutely ASHAMED of himself. By keeping silent he is sanctioning this abuse of HRH Meghan. It’s disgusting. And if he thinks they wouldn’t turn on him in an instant, he’s fooling himself.

    As for the story, every accusations is a confession with those folks. So I’m reality, they are describing the on record behavior of Chuckles and his mistress queen, and William the Terrible.

    Meghan has never in her entire working history behaved the way those people are describing. There has never been one single story about her throwing tantrums or treating staff on set with anything other than kindness and respect. In fact, it’s been the complete opposite. Her reputation is one of care and consideration of every single person on set, regardless of their job.

    • Amy Bee says:

      Edward Enniful is not going to say anything about this. He has a new project coming out in September and he wants the British press on his siide.

      • Jais says:

        That’s something I wonder about. So let’s say someone is not necessarily planting or leaking. But they also don’t want heat from the press by going against the lies. So they just stay silent. People could put a simple statement out refuting a lie. But then they’re afraid the tabloid press will go after them. It’s still a cowardly look.

  9. sevenblue says:

    I don’t personally know Edward or Anna Wintour. What I know, Anna supported Meghan on the record and made it clear there is nothing wrong about a woman who wants to work, while the tabloids were trying to make her look evil for getting up early and working. On the other hand, Edward made a bitchy comment about how Meghan didn’t know her place. Edward may be talented, but he is more busy kissing the asses of BRF. That may be how you make it in UK, but that behavior doesn’t translate to the global audience well.

  10. JENNIFER says:

    One more thing. I used to believe that the racist stereotyping of Meghan as an angry Black woman, the creation of Jason Knauf. Because he is an American.
    However, I have realised that British racism is as insidious and probably even more violent that American racism.
    Atleast in America, there is pushback, Black people are represented in significant ways in the media.
    In Britain, however, the media has free reign. And they have an audience that is hungry for racist content.

    • Magdalena says:

      “I have realised that British racism is as insidious and probably even more violent that American racism.”

      You are correct.

      There is a reason why Black men are far more likely to end up in mental institutions in the UK than others: they are the victims of racism from a very early age and are targeted and maligned and then GASLIT and doubted every step of the way, even by people considered to be their allies, leading them to experience unimaginable mental anguish. Unless they spent MUCH of their formative years in the Caribbean (and I am thinking here of countries such as Jamaica, Trinidad and Barbados, where certainly the children I’ve encountered got/get home truths from teachers and parents alike and grow up with a degree of pride in themselves, little need to consider white people their betters and are better able to see through and call out the dog whistles and outright racist words and deeds and brave enough to do so), their entire lives become one of enduring gaslighting and at some point in their lives it all comes to a head.

      British Black people spend SO much time being TOLD that they “must be imagining” their lived experiences, and being asked “Are you sure?” and being told that they must be mistaken or that the racists “didn’t mean” to be racist and that they are terrible for even thinking that the perpetrators are racist that they begin to question themselves and their own experiences. They spend a lifetime toeing the line and trying to keep their heads down and not draw attention to themselves and to fit in despite ever-changing goalposts(!) – until they meet someone (usually Caribbean or African – especially from Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa – but even South Americans) who can spot what is happening and call it out, LOUDLY. I say “usually” only because while most Americans will spot the racism a mile away and many will be quite vocal and call it out, many Black Britons would more likely encounter those named groups/nationalities in their communities, schools and universities than an American.

      The UK has lied to itself about its own history for centuries. Things which are taught about British history in other countries are not mentioned in the UK, or are incredibly sanitised. That is why it is seen as being a terrible thing to call out racism, than to be an actual racist.

      • AC says:

        The U.S. has its own issues with racism, but people here are vocal about it. The British don’t even acknowledge they have racism in that country which is even worse.
        I also read about the British media industry. If you think Hollywood is bad, their industry looks to be worse. Just like their society is based on a class system, that industry is all about nepotism, it lacks diversity and if you’re not born into a family with connections(as there’s also limited roles and positions), it’s extremely difficult to even be considered.

  11. ABritGuest says:

    One thing that’s clear is that it seems to be on the right side of the Windsors, certain Brits have to put down or be ok with tabloids using them as an example of someone H&M have fallen out with who then side up to team palace lol.

    We see tv presenters like Lorraine etc constantly say nasty stuff about H&M & then yuck it up with Camilla & Co at the palace. Then there was the incessant tabloid rumours about Sussexes falling out with the Beckhams (when there’s been no evidence of a relationship) followed by Beckhams getting invites to state dinners & various royal events. Now it’s King’s trust ambassador Edward.

    I think the tabloids feel they’ve rinsed the family beef & with the uk & Montecito sides not talking there’s not much new material for the tabloids but they need new fodder for constant H/M feud & Meghan villain stories. They don’t have access in Montecito but the machine needs to be fed. So that’s why they are revisiting past experiences of Meghan’s time in the BRF & finding new angles . It’s why they were so excited with the Gwyneth/meghan rivalry stuff until Gwyneth said take me out of the group chat. It’s even better if the person for these palace & tabloid bait is someone that they feel Meghan has/had a decent relationship with & is now siding with the palace. So now it’s Edward & it will be interesting to see what’s his reward. Maybe he will get a royal first for his new project

    Anyway frankly it’s embarrassing that the body representing the uk head of state has to expend so much energy to show people prefer it over someone they said was a c list actress from LA. A very insecure institution frankly

  12. Amy Bee says:

    This story makes absolutely no sense. Plus Meghan has not shown any inclination that she’s interested in being featured in British publications. The British press is always crying that she doesn’t include the UK in her projects.

    • ABritGuest says:

      Agreed I think the story is completely made up. Meghan had archetypes released in late summer 2022 and was on cover of the cut for its 2022 September issue & had a postponed variety cover- all to promote the podcast. Given the timing of the Fail’s fiction if there was any chance she was going to do something with Vogue for a September issue it would have been to promote the podcast not a single one young world speech & Vogue would definitely have wanted an exclusive.

      I don’t think this story is true. No idea if Meghan & Edward are still on decent terms but I’m more curious as to what Edward is getting out of his name being dragged into this palace& tabloid confection. I think we’ll find out when his new project launches.

  13. Me at home says:

    The tabloids have to keep making Meghan and Harry look bad so the British public will forgive Charles and William for their awful behavior towards them.

  14. Tuni says:

    Enninful is a past editor of vogue but why can he not get a tailored fit on his clothes.

    Agree With @abritguest above and @me at home

    I think enninful sounds like a hanger on or trojan horse for meghan. They were friends now they are not , ok… so? Tried to collaborate, and it fell through… and… that happens, friends try again down the road, they dont brief against the other . Unkess they have sonething to hide or are trying to win at something for someone else’s agenda. So.. literally NOT ever friends.

    It honestly sounds like this narrative is meant to shame Meghan for not staying friends with everyone. Like, if you show your colors to meghan, she is going to back away and focus on others like her. People who value people , not lie or maniapulate facts. So any end to friendship or professional collaboration is on them.

    So Enninful is trying to reclaim his image bc if meghan doent work with someone they are the problem. and enninful will be used to suggest That who he is friends with ( some upcoming royal narrative) is A better person than meghan [ in war waged on meghan] because of enninfuls ‘friendship’.

    • Blogger says:

      Well the racist rats have their black bete noire to counter Tyler Perry and Oprah.

      See? Meghan is a hateful figure – just ask Edward (Enninful) and Sophie (Chandauka) (!) 😂

      Just realised the coincidental names to the Edinburghs.

      • ABritGuest says:

        Good point! I didn’t even clock that it may also be about showing- see we aren’t racist H&M fall out with Black people too- THEY are the problem

      • Tuni says:

        @blogger, yeah the whole
        ‘See… clearly it can’t be us, we can’t be the problem.. look at who meghan doesn’t get along with. They come in all shapes colors sizes.’ Big yawn.

        When instead it is.., yeah look who meghan won’t go along with, get along with, be friends or collaborators with, anymore.

        Regardless of race, gender,generational or otherwise wealth or lack thereof, or institutional privilege or lack thereof. Meghan will not, does not suffer a fool.

  15. L4Frimaire says:

    I don’t understand this at all. In 2022 Meghan did 2 magazine covers, Variety and NY Mag, ostensibly to promote Archetypes. Before that was Invictus Hague or the Jubilee, then Queen died, so it was busy and disrupted. What is Enninful doing with this? What is this for? There is this irritation with the Sussexes right now, bot quite sure but it’s definitely there. Maybe it’s them just not responding or Meghan’s floral Instagram posts and little glimpses into their lives, who knows?They are just muddling along doing their thing, seemingly minding their business, but there is this attempt to rope them into conflicts that don’t exist. You look at what Enninful does, he’s very much a “society” , celebrity scene, fashion circuit person. How does Meghan even fit into that? That’s not her life and she doesn’t move in those circles, so what are they doing here with this? Maybe it will all come together and some Kate Vogue cover will debut or Enninful gets a royal job. Whatever. Why drag Meghan into it? One thing I generally feel is that despite the podcast or Instagram, I actually feel the Sussexes have become more private this year. I will say a lot of Sussex squaddies clocked this guy a long time ago so not surprised by this.

    • Christine says:

      Meghan’s Instagram has shown that there was a portion of the British media that truly thought they were making Meghan’s life difficult. They can’t stand that she’s sharing her own life, on her own terms, and is clearly very happy. They are getting more and more riled up with each IG post. This is not sustainable, they really are just shrieking into the void at this point.

  16. Tessa says:

    They have no clue about what Meghan thinks or wants.

  17. QuiteContrary says:

    “Although the Duchess is said to have been relaxed with ‘no expectations’, her team supposedly had ‘high expectations for the piece’.”

    So Meghan was relaxed about the whole thing, but still she was throwing toys out of her pram?

    Give me an effing break. Nothing after that sentence made sense.

    • Tuni says:

      Snort, to “Give me an effing break. Nothing after that sentence made sense.”

      Plus… This whole thing starts on, these people claim Meghan and Enninful were “beasties”?

      What if Meghan disagrees with that. What if it was professional warmth only. These people claim , on behalf of Meghan , [ gross] that it was collaborating to friendship to beasties , is a huge reach. If the “beasties” claim is the Lie [which come on , meghan being friendly, professionally to a vogue editor, to anyone, is not the same as friendship, not the way Meghan owns her friendships esp through ber podcasts and WLM] this Whole article dissipates.

      • Tuni says:

        And which “Meghan team” ?

        bc the team meghan had when held prisoner wasn’t all hired employees and people Pro Meghan. Someone on that ‘team’ was problematic. What team would or should have higher expectations than the lead party aka meghan aka the boss? And what team member discusses it, or says it aloud? To anyone . Esp in the media. A problematic team member who is angling, that’s who.

  18. Tn Democrat says:

    So. Keener or Camilla REALLY want a British Vogue cover and Meghan’s name is being substituted for one of them. Why would she have wanted a British Vogue cover in 2022 when she got the hell out of there in 2020 and fully established a life away from the UK? She probably could have gotten a US vogue cover when Harry released Spare. Why slum with the Briish version when she lives in the USA and is a citizen? It probably is not work suing over something like this, but I really wish the Sussexes would push back at these weird af narratives because odd lies like this really egg on the derangers online. This clearly isn’t true and is complete embiggening spin for Keener (or maybe Camilla).

  19. Brigha says:

    “the Mail’s team of unrivalled royal experts have delved into the truth” – BAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  20. Kate says:

    So what month will kate be on the cover? That is what I am getting from these stories. Another big comeback story, her in nature, brave and cancer free on the vogue cover. The fact they can just lie, and nothing happens is insane. You write a million articles about Meghan coming back to Instagram in January of this year and now she unfollowed him in 2022?? Claiming they were besties because they worked together once also insane.

  21. L4Frimaire says:

    Someone on Twitter very accurately pointed out that this is about sabotaging the Sussexes legacy. They came for Sentebale and now they’re going after her Vogue work. The numbers speak for themselves, they can’t impugn the success, the historic achievement and what that issue accomplished so they’re trying to muddy the waters and once again attacking Meghan. She doesn’t throw tantrums. Why create a feud 3 years after their most successful issue debuted and also 3 years after the supposed feud. The funny thing is that that Vogue did a 5th year anniversary commemoration of the Forces for Change issue so I hope Enninful isn’t fueling this and it’s just tabloid sh*t stirring. She’s allowed to say no and have boundaries and conditions.

    • KoRAR says:

      Enninful is fueling these rumors because he doesn’t deny them. I also doubt that without his approval this lie could have been created or continued. Or maybe it’s a joint effort between Enninful and the media with the approval of the palace. Meghan’s issue was a historic issue of Voque with the largest sell-out in its history. It seems that Enninful would gladly erase Meghan and insert his own name. The British media did not write much about the celebrations of the 5th anniversary of the issue of Forces for Change because it would be difficult to omit Meghan’s name. They want to brag about Harry and Meghan’s successes, but as their own. It’s similar with Harry’s IG. They also try to take over people with whom HM has friendly or professional relations, like Jose Andres, which they fail to do. This is disgusting.

  22. Maja says:

    I don’t believe a word of this story. It sounds completely made up from A-Z

    • Cathy says:

      Agree. Someone at DM wanted a story but is too scared to write about Harry as he may react so let’s be subtle (if possible for a DM writer) and lets make Edward look bad? After all he is starting his own magazine in September and DM’s buddies at Conde Nast and Vogue must not be happy. Hence the story that they think will bring down these two with one shot?

  23. Polo says:

    Kate or Camilla are getting the cover for sure. Most likely Camilla as this is exactly what they did with the beckhams before they announced he’s becoming an ambassador and yes same with Dior.
    Smh. Just lie after lie to build up their stale royals

  24. martha says:

    That is one unflattering tuxedo. Raise the rise or put on a cummerbund. Or a jacket that fits.

    Eagerly anticipating the next installment of this story!

  25. bisynaptic says:

    Maureen says what, now?

  26. Annemarie says:

    Unfollowed each other? How Sway? Meghan wasn’t on instagram or ANY social media in 2022. Just lies on lies on lies.

  27. Lau says:

    Another person willing to have their name be used just to trash Meghan … groundbreaking.

  28. AC says:

    Interesting enough. Someone had a post on LinkedIn (of all places ) a few weeks ago re the media/entertainment industry in the UK and how it can be brutal. Basically it says how it lacks diversity, a lot of nepotism, and it’s mostly all connections-based. Seems in parallel to the class system they have in that country also. So, what they’re doing to M as a favor to others in the heirarchy to deflect their own issues, is really not a surprise.
