However, she transformed it to shine a light on fifteen women from diverse backgrounds, such as politics, sport, and art. These women are collectively making a difference in transforming the lives of others. An applaudable aspect of the issue is its cover that includes a mirror, which urges us, the readers, to look within ourselves and be a force for change. <br> <br> <br> <br> The Duchess enlisted her husband, Prince Harry, who interviewed primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall, that resulted in a global conversation on the subconscious bias, which refers to the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner. The issue also consists of a Q & A with former first lady, Michelle Obama, on motherhood and maturity. <br> <br> <br> <br> The September issue of British Vogue is substantive. The Duchess had worked hard on it for seven months during and after her pregnancy. As a testament to her hard work, Edward Enninfu, the editor of British Vogue, said, "When you only know someone by their public persona, all too often you find yourself disappointed by the reality. But, once in a while, someone comes along who exceeds all of your expectations. Let me say this for The Duchess of Sussex: she is the real deal – and an ultimate force for change." <br> <br> <br> <br> The 4th of August is Meghan's birthday, so My Duke and I Podcast invited fans from around the world to wish the Duchess happy birthday, which is included in this podcast. <br>
