According to sources, Meghan Markle has requested to be displayed nude on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine’s 110th-anniversary issue, a request that the publication has respectfully rejected.
Allegedly, Markle approached the magazine’s editors with the proposal for the cover shoot, seeking to emulate the iconic pose of actress Demi Moore for Vanity Fair’s 1991 cover. However, Vanity Fair is said to have declined Markle’s request, citing that it would not align with the magazine’s brand and editorial standards.
Insiders claim that Markle was “disappointed” with Vanity Fair’s decision, as she had hoped to use the opportunity to showcase her body and empower other women. However, the magazine reportedly stood firm in its stance, maintaining that its focus remains on featuring “thought-provoking and inspiring” content.
Vanity Fair’s refusal to accommodate Markle’s request has sparked mixed reactions. Some have expressed support for the magazine’s decision, commending its commitment to preserving its journalistic integrity and avoiding pandering to celebrity requests. Others, however, have criticized the decision, arguing that it is a missed opportunity to promote body positivity and challenge traditional beauty standards.
Regardless of the varying opinions, Vanity Fair’s choice to decline Markle’s request highlights the delicate balance between catering to celebrity requests and maintaining a magazine’s identity and editorial standards. Ultimately, the decision reflects the magazine’s commitment to providing its readers with high-quality content that aligns with its brand and values.
