Meghan Markle and former British Vogue Editor-in-Chief, Edward Enninful, were long-time friends. However, their friendship reportedly ended abruptly when Enninful supposedly excluded her from the magazine’s cover.

At the time, Enninful had planned to have the Duchess of Sussex, 43, grace the coveted September 2022 cover of British Vogue, which would spotlight her charitable work.

The cover was reportedly also set to include her keynote appearance at the One Young World Summit in Manchester, England.

But the pair’s friendship came to an abrupt end following a disagreement over how the magazine planned to feature the “Suits” alum’s philanthropic work, the Mail on Sunday reports.

Following the heated disagreement, the cover was immediately pulled.

“The duchess and her team had high expectations and 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,” a source told the outlet.

“He already had a magazine cover in the bag for that month.”

Instead, Enninful gave the September 2022 cover to Canadian model Linda Evangelista, which marked her return to modeling.

Meanwhile, across the pond, the American edition of the magazine featured Markle’s longtime pal and tennis legend Serena Williams.

According to Condé Nast insiders, Enninful’s decision to spotlight other stars resulted in the breakdown of his friendship with the former actress, who quit royal life in 2020 and moved across the pond.

Sources told the outlet that Markle and Enninful — who quit British Vogue in February — are no longer on speaking terms.

“The duchess and her team had high expectations and 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,” an insider said.

“Edward was furious to have lost the project, as were the powers that be at Conde Nast.”

“The whole process became very difficult. Edward could only promise her a big showy feature inside the magazine and online — but she turned it down,” they added.

The Post has reached out to Condé Nast and Markle’s reps for comment.

Despite the claims, The Post understands that their communication has “remained warm and respectful” over the years, with the pair even exchanging birthday wishes and flowers within the past year.

Markle had been approached by Vogue multiple times after her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry, with Enninful personally inviting her to grace the “Forces for Change” cover, which she ultimately declined.
