Published on May 3, 2026, there are reports suggesting a significant rift has developed between Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and Anna Wintour, with the latter allegedly harboring strong dislike for Meghan.

Allegations have surfaced indicating that the once-friendly relationship between the two has deteriorated since Meghan, a former Suits actress now aged 44, stepped back from her royal duties.

Meghan and Anna Wintour, the 76-year-old magazine powerhouse, were previously considered influential allies in the realms of fashion and media. Their association was particularly highlighted during Meghan’s 2019 partnership with British Vogue, when she teamed up with then-editor Edward Enninful.

The Vogue issue, titled ‘Forces for Change,’ thrust Meghan into the forefront of contemporary cultural discussions.

That issue, titled ‘Forces for Change’, placed Meghan at the heart of contemporary cultural conversation.

But according to a source speaking to the Daily Mail, tensions between her and Anna are now said to have emerged during that period and have since deepened.

The reported fallout comes amid continued scrutiny of Meghan and Prince Harry, 41, following their departure from royal duties and recent tour of Australia, which critics branded a “faux royal tour”.

A source told the Mail: “Meghan pledged her allegiance to Enninful – which p***** off Anna.”

They added: “Anna hates her. Meghan doesn’t want to pay, and never returns things.”

The source added: “Also, Anna loves the Royal Family. She is a Dame. Anna would have hated how (the Sussexes) handled their exit from The Firm.”

The claims come as Meghan continues to pursue a portfolio of ventures spanning media, lifestyle branding and public appearances.

The source further alleged strain behind the scenes, telling the Mail: “They have truly lost the plot. I hear (Meghan’s) spiralling badly because she knows nothing is working.”

They added: “The whole thing about her (As Ever brand) stuff selling out isn’t true anymore. I don’t think either of them is happy.”

Meghan, who rose to prominence through her portrayal of Rachel Zane in Suits before marrying Prince Harry, has in recent months spoken about her experiences abroad, which has included the couple’s high-profile visit to Australia.

In an interview with Women’s Weekly, Meghan said: “My husband and I have such an affinity for Australia.”

She added: “I said to him the day we were flying out, ‘The only thing better than Australia are Australians’.”

Discussing her fashion choices during the visit, Meghan said: “Over the last several years, I would hear about an incorrect designer getting credit for something I wore, either via affiliate links or press, and that never seemed fair.” She added: “Credit where credit is due. These brands and designers work so hard and take great pride in their work, and I choose them for a reason.” Meghan continued: “Either supporting a friend, being brand loyal, or the reasons I mentioned earlier. So it’s always been important to me that the correct designer is credited.”

When asked about her favourite outfit from the trip, she said: “It would be hard to choose one because I put each look together with a different vibe in mind, and I loved them all for different reasons. There wasn’t always time to change between locations, so it was fun to get creative.”
