Meghan Markle’s Variety magazine cover has been postponed following the Queen’s death at age 96 on Thursday.
The Duchess of Sussex was recently named as one of the magazine’s Power of Women honorees, alongside Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Malala, Elizabeth Olsen, Ava DuVernay, and others.
However, given the Royal Family’s current circumstances, Variety has since confirmed Meghan’s cover will be postponed to a later date, out of respect for the Queen.
She will also not be attending the Power of Women event in Los Angeles on September 28.
