The toxic fallout surrounding Meghan Markle and Prince Harry has reached a new level—dragging the glittering world of high fashion into their royal drama.

This time, it’s not palace aides or estranged family members in the firing line. It’s Edward Enninful, former editor-in-chief of British Vogue, one of the most powerful men in global fashion. Once a close friend and vocal supporter of Meghan Markle—famously partnering with her on the 2019 guest-edited “Forces for Change” issue—Enninful has reportedly cut all ties with the Duchess of Sussex.

And the reason? A spectacular behind-the-scenes row over Meghan being denied another Vogue cover, which sources say led to an explosive breakdown of trust, ego, and entitlement.

“Call Me Meghan”—Then Don’t Call Me at All

Back in 2019, Enninful and Meghan sipped mint tea and spoke of shared visions for social justice, race, and equality. They were dubbed likeminded visionaries. Vogue filmed a saccharine behind-the-scenes video of their time together. She was informal, warm—“Call me Meghan,” she said with a smile.

But fast forward to 2022, and the tone had soured.

According to bombshell reporting from the Daily Mail, Meghan had high expectations that Vogue would feature her and Harry in a glowing spread around their appearance at the One Young World Summit. The plan? A full production team, exclusive photos, and a digital cover to complement the print issue.

But when Enninful declined to place her on the cover, and only offered an internal feature, Meghan’s team abruptly pulled the plug. From that moment, their friendship—once curated for global media adoration—was dead in the water.

“Edward was furious,” a Condé Nast insider revealed. “So were the higher-ups at Vogue. They’d planned a feature, and she walked away because it wasn’t all about her.”

A Royal Snub That Changed Everything

Adding fuel to the fire? Enninful’s growing ties with the royal family, particularly King Charles III.

Not only did Enninful interview the King when he was still Prince of Wales, but he also attended the coronation in 2023 and now supports three of the King’s official charitable foundations. He was even seen at a glittering black-tie gala for The King’s Trust—an event Meghan was conspicuously not invited to.

Once hailed by Enninful as a “brave woman” subjected to unfair media scrutiny, Meghan now finds herself unfollowed, snubbed, and silenced. Enninful reportedly no longer follows any of her projects on social media.

From Tea to Toxicity

So what changed? According to Royal News Network editor Britney, it’s simple: Meghan burns bridges.

“Edward tried. He tolerated her demands. He backed her publicly,” Britney said. “But once he told her ‘no,’ she pulled the entire feature. It was Meghan or nothing. And in PR, that’s just foolish.”

Dan Wootton added, “It’s classic Sussex behavior. If they’re not the stars, they walk. If they can’t control the narrative, they destroy it.”

Lady Colin Campbell has previously referred to Meghan and Harry as a “toxic miasma,” a swirling fog of drama that engulfs everyone who enters their orbit. And with this latest fallout, it’s becoming harder for even the most woke-friendly celebrities to justify staying close.

Revenge of the Sussexes?

That “toxic fog” appears to be enveloping Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, the young Hollywood couple reportedly dragged into Sussex-style strife after seeking relationship advice from Meghan and Harry.

Initial reports by The Sun claimed the Sussexes hosted Brooklyn and Nicola at a private dinner. Later, People Magazine attempted to spin the story—claiming the Beckhams weren’t even invited and somehow crashed a high-security VIP party.

But sources say this leak had all the hallmarks of a Meghan-orchestrated PR job, designed to boost her brand by associating with Hollywood’s next generation.

“Harry and Meghan don’t do anything without a narrative,” Wootton noted. “They’re looking for a new power couple to latch onto now that the Obamas and the Beckhams have distanced themselves. But they’re the worst people to turn to for family advice—given they’ve blown up every relationship they’ve ever had.”

Lawsuits, Lies, and Lawfare

Meanwhile, Prince Harry is on the legal warpath, launching another volley at the British press—this time accusing The Sun of defamation and retaliation for naming him in the P. Diddy sex trafficking case.

Harry claims the article, published in March 2024, was a “highly defamatory” act of revenge for his lawsuits against Murdoch’s media empire. But media insiders say the story, based on legal filings, was accurate—and Harry’s effort to suppress it is part of a broader pattern.

“He wants the press to praise him, not report the truth,” Britney said. “He sues when he doesn’t like the headline.”

And Wootton added, “This is lawfare. He’s trying to silence the free press through legal intimidation. It’s working. Many UK papers are afraid to touch Sussex stories now. That’s why we have to report what others won’t.”

While Sussex Sinks, Royals Rise

As Meghan and Harry sink further into isolation, the working royals are winning hearts and headlines. Prince William recently stunned a group of American tourists by casually traveling on a public train—first class, yes, but without fanfare or security fuss.

“He was just there,” one shocked tourist said. “We didn’t even realize until after. It was amazing!”

It’s a far cry from Harry’s ongoing security lawsuits and insistence on top-tier protection for private appearances. And it perfectly illustrates the growing public perception divide between a grounded future king and his disgruntled younger brother.

Meanwhile, Camilla, Queen Consort, once vilified in the tabloids, is enjoying a public renaissance. A thunderous ovation at Wimbledon showed just how much has changed.

And maybe that’s the final, bitter twist in this royal saga: the woman Harry accused of being “dangerous” is now adored, while he and Meghan—once the darlings of global progressivism—are being quietly shut out of every room they once dominated.

🧨 The fall of Brand Sussex is no longer a scandal—
It’s a full-blown implosion.
Stay tuned. The royal reckoning isn’t over yet.
