Meghan Markle Reveals Courageous Moment That Led To British Vogue Editing Role

Meghan Markle is opening up about her son, Archie Harrison. In the September issue of British Vogue, the new mom shared about her firstborn child and revealed the courageous moment that led to her guest-editing role.

The Duchess of Sussex shared that her involvement with the magazine began months ago, in January, when she was just five months pregnant with baby Archie.

"I was about five months pregnant when this process began," she wrote in the publication, according to Hello. "And by the time you hold this issue in your hands, my husband and I will be holding our three-month-old baby boy in ours."

The mother of one went on to describe her time with the editor-in-chief of British Vogue, Edward Kobina Enninful, and their plans for the fall issue of the magazine. It is during this time that Markle revealed the courageous moment that landed her behind the scenes.

"So I asked the question," she wrote. "Actually, I typed and deleted the question several times until I built up the courage to ask the question in question. 'Edward… instead of doing the cover, would you be open to me guest-editing your September issue?'

"The ellipsis… the 'dot dot dot' that inspires the greatest practice of patience in this digital era. And then it appeared, EE's reply: 'Yes! I would love for you to be my guest editor'," she recalled. "Sitting on my sofa at home, two dogs nestled across me, I quietly celebrated when the words appeared on my screen."
