 In true TIG style she highlighted women who have created platforms and are making a difference. The former Meghan Markle was Founding editor of The TIG so she was totally in her element.

Duchess Meghan was a fashion designer in her pre-royal days Meghan Markle creating 2 sold out capsules with Reitmans Canada. Now she is an international power player in fashion industry. The Duchess of impact creating jobs and transforming lives what we call Meghanomics the Meghan effect.

With #ForcesForChange the Duchess of Sussex used her platform to highlight other power a true reflection that she is the Forces for Change and Duchess of Empowerment. She used her influence to redefine who we consider beautiful and the importance of celebrating natural beauty.

Duchess Meghan the ultimate force for change. The @OneYoungWorld  super star @TheSineadBurke  graced the cover of Vogue and working with the Duchess of Sussex. Interesting tidbit is that they shared the stage as keynote speakers at the One Young World Conference in Dublin when she was still Meghan Markle. They met again on the Duchess of Sussex’s state visit to Ireland in 2018 as a member of the royal family. The theme was the power of fashion to tell the story.

The mirror (#16 square) is the symbolic change that is happening in the fashion industry when you look at this cover there is a representation of age, a representation of gender a disabled woman on the cover and I think this cover is going to give an appetite and inspiration to many young and older people to see themselves literally on the cover for the first time and to imagine what it could be like to be a part of a photo shoot of this magnitude caliber and nature. – Sinead Burke

Former US First Lady who was interviewed for this Vogue edition said it best when she said  

When you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you. You reach back and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.

The 16th spot on the cover will appear in print as a silver reflective mirror, to show how you, the reader, are part of this extraordinary moment in time – and to encourage you to use your own platform to bring change.

Each successful person had their doubters. Each had their naysayers. Each had their critics. Success is never assured. Only when you look back does it appear that way. If you’re willing to work hard, persevere, and take a chance on yourself, who you are is more than enough. Even if you’re on the extreme downside of advantage. Even if you feel you have nothing going for you. You no longer have to wait: to be accepted, to be promoted, to be selected, to somehow be “chosen.

The Duchess of Sussex knows that it’s more powerful to give others a platform than to want to be on the cover yourself. This is because she is secure in who she is and what her purpose is. She is not afraid to share the spotlight with others.

-Edward Enninful Editor British Vogue

Prince Harry interviewed Dr. Jane Goodall ethologist and primatologist Dr Jane Goodall. For this Vogue issue. Talk about partnership and union of values between Duke and Duchess of Sussex. It is no wonder they have made an impact on society.

When we choose to wear a certain designer, we’re not just a reflection of their creativity and their vision, but we’re also an extension of their values.

Factose intolerant British press would like you to believe that the Duchess of Sussex is being more celebrity and less royal by guest editing Vogue. They have been weighted in the scales of truth and facts and have been found wanting. Totally false because tabloid British press is about propaganda and not truth.

• Prince Charles guest-edited Country Life Magazine for the issue that coincided with his 70th birthday November 2018.

• Prince Harry also guest-edited BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme in December of 2017,  link

• Duchess of Cambridge guest-edited Huffington Post U.K. in February of 2016.

The reality is that Royals who conform to tabloid standards never make impact and never transform society for the better. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex rise to the top and their tribe aspire to a kinder, more peaceful , more productive world.
