Meghan Markle shares behind the scenes video from Vogue photo shoot
Meghan Markle chose to highlight 15 female change makers who are set to reshape society in radically positive way within the bumper issue. The women, from the frontline of politics, fashion, film, technology, wellness and beyond are the cover stars of the issue – as Meghan opted to devote attention to them, rather than herself. SussexRoyal, the official Instagram account for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, posted the front cover of the special Vogue edition last night and this morning a behind the scenes video was shared, revealing more details of the project.
Some of the women featured in the September issue include: Jacinda Ardern, prime minister of New Zealand, Francesca Hayward, royal ballet principal dancer, and Greta Thunberg, the young climate change campaigner.
Several of these women feature in the Instagram video, as the women discuss who and what most inspires them.
Salma Hayek Pinault, a women’s rights advocate, actor and producer gave a powerful message in the video and said: “I think my force for change is me.
“The ability to spend time inside, I think it’s the strongest force to change the world.”
Ms Arden, the world’s youngest female head of government, also gave an empowering speech, and said: “One change that I’ve noticed over the course of my career is just how polarised the world is now.
“I do think there is a solution to that though, and that’s ultimately us coming back to the humanity that we all share.”
The video was produced entirely in black and white and has achieved almost 400,000 likes within an hour of being uploaded to the SussexRoyal account.
Several fans have commented on the video congratulating Meghan for her role in the edition and for highlighting the “truly inspirational” women.
Meghan said she hoped people would become inspired by the special issue, and said: “Through this lens I hope you’ll feel the strength of the collective in the diverse selection of women chosen for the cover as well as the team of support I called upon within the issue to help bring this to light.
“I hope readers feel as inspired as I do, by the forces for change they’ll find within these pages.
“These last seven months have been a rewarding process, curating and collaborating with Edward Enninful to take the year’s most-read fashion issue and steer its focus to the values, causes and people making an impact in the world today.”
The timing of the September issue will coincide with the launch of Prince Harry and Meghan’s new charitable foundation in the autumn, which will focus on “environment and community”.

A sneak peek of the #ForcesForChange video for the September Issue of @BritishVogue. Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Sussex is the first Guest Editor for British Vogue’s September Issue and for the last seven months has worked to create an issue of inclusivity and inspiration, focusing on what connects us rather than what divides us. Fifteen women were chosen for the cover including New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who generously lent her time to support The Duchess in this important issue. The women first met last autumn during Their Royal Highness’ official tour of New Zealand. Above, PM Ardern says: “One change that I’ve noticed over the course of my career, is just how polarised the world is now. I do think there is a solution to that though, and that’s ultimately us coming back to the humanity that we all share.” Thank you PM Ardern for being an amazing force for change.

A post shared byThe Duke and Duchess of Sussex (@sussexroyal) on
The Sussex Royal foundation is being launched after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex split from The Royal Foundation and The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
The decision to split the two couples’ charitable partnership was announced last month, with Kensington Palace claiming the decision was made to help the four royals “prepare for their future roles”.
Speculation has been rife that the split came as a result of a royal feud between the couples.
The full feature of the September issue of British Vogue will be available on newsstands and digital download on Friday August 2.
