ROYALSMeghan Markle’s 'Variety' Cover Has Been Delayed 'Out Of Respect' For The Queen
Meghan Markle might have to pump the breaks on expanding her Archewell brand. Her recent cover has been put on pause due to the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
The actress was a part of Variety's Power of Women honorees including inspirational figures such as Oprah Winfrey, Chelsea Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Ava Duvernay and Malala. But the publication made the decision to delay the release of the Duchess of Sussex's cover while her husband, Prince Harry, and his family mourn the loss of their matriarch.
The outlet made the announcement Wednesday, September 14, via Twitter. "Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, was chosen as one of one of this year’s stellar honorees. The Duchess’ cover will be postponed to a later date, out of respect for the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II."
The Suits alum's cover moment isn't the only project she's put on pause since Elizabeth died on Thursday, September 8. The recently released Spotify project "Archetypes" has gone on a short hiatus during the mourning period.
