The new momma thanked editor-in-chief Edward Enninful and the magazine’s team for welcoming her and and supporting her. Seemingly, the former Suits actress began working on the issue in December 2018 when she was over halfway through her pregnancy with her son:
“I was about five months pregnant when this process began, 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. It’s a very special time for me personally, on so many levels; working with Edward and his team, both during my pregnancy and my maternity leave, has played no small part in that joy – it has been a privilege to be welcomed and supported by this amazing team. To Edward, thank you for entrusting me with this. I am deeply honoured. To the women who have taken my aspirations for this issue and brought them to life by being a part of this time capsule, both on the cover and in-book, I am so grateful; you are inspirations to me and I’m humbled by your support.”

The 37-year-old continued:
“As you flip the pages, you’ll find familiar faces and names that I hope you get to know a bit better, a bit more deeply, even.”
Among the 15 women on the cover of the “Forces for Change” issue are familiar faces Laverne Cox, Jane Fonda, Gemma Chan, Salma Hayek, and 11 other women making a positive impact on the world.
Plus, inside the glossy, readers will find a heart-to-heart between HRH and former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama, a candid conversation between Prince Harry and Dr. Jane Goodall, and more.
The Duchess of Sussex continued, explaining more of what readers can expect inside the magazine:
“It is, after all, the September issue of British Vogue, and an opportunity to further diversify what that typically represents. Throughout these pages you’ll find Commonwealth designers, ethical and sustainable brands, as well as features with designers not about clothes but about heritage, history and heirloom. You’ll also find a beauty section that puts its energy towards internal beauty, celebrating the power of breathing and meditation, and a favourite workout that urges you to use your heart as much as your core.”
Aside from new age modalities and workouts, the longtime feminist shared what she hopes readers will takeaway from the mag:
“But more than anything, this issue is about the power of the collective. In identifying our personal strengths, it is anchored in the knowledge that we are even stronger together. You will find that spirit of inclusivity on the cover: diverse portraiture of women of varying age, colour, creed, nationality and life experience, and of unquestionable inspiration. Some, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and enlisted personally for this issue, others I’ve admired from afar for their commitment to a cause, their fearlessness in breaking barriers, or what they represent simply by being. These are our forces for change. And among all of these strong women on the cover, a mirror – a space for you, the reader, to see yourself. Because you, too, are part of this collective.”
Wow!!
