The Duchess of Sussex surprised everyone when she was named as the guest editor of the September issue of British Vogue. The special edition, entitled Forces for Change, features a collection of changemakers who have gone on to break barriers – and one of those contributors featured in the issue has received a very special, personalised thank you gift from Meghan herself.

The thank you card read: "When I knew I would be secretly guest editing the September issue of British Vogue, including Luminary Bakery was a non-negotiable. The work you do, what you represent to the community, the spirit of the women there- you all embody what it means to be 'forces for change'. Thank you for being a part of this special project."

Of the issue, Meghan said in a statement: "These last seven months have been a rewarding process, curating and collaborating with Edward Enninful, British Vogue's Editor-in-Chief, to take the year's most-read fashion issue and steer its focus to the values, causes and people making impact in the world today. 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."
