Meghan Markle is on a mission to make media and fashion mogul Anna Wintour her new business sidekick, the National Enquirer has learned.
The duchess, 44, was spotted kissing up to the former Vogue magazine honcho, 75, at Paris Fashion Week in a bid to raise her profile among the fashion elite, according to sources.

Meghan also schmoozed with top designers and every celebrity in sight, including The Devil Wears Prada star Anne Hathaway, while leaving her husband, Prince Harry, behind in California with their two kids.
“Meghan’s totally buzzing from this trip. She’s saying it couldn’t have gone any better as far as building connections and whetting her appetite for an exciting new chapter,” dishes an insider.

“She was determined to put an end to her awkwardness with Anna. It was a huge deal for her that they were seen on good terms. She’s hoping they can sit down together soon and cook up some joint business projects.”
As previously reported, the pair had an ugly falling-out in 2022 after the famously feisty editor got fed up with Meghan’s diva demands and pulled the plug on giving her a coveted cover on the British edition of the fashion bible.

Since then, the popularity of the Duchess of Sussex and husband Harry, 41, has nose-dived as celebrities and fans turn on them over their well-documented attacks on the British royal family.
Their deal with Netflix, which earned them $100 million when they signed a five-year pact in 2020, has fallen flat, with Meghan’s cringeworthy show, As Ever, suffering particular ridicule.

But sources say the former B-list actress has lost none of her appetite for money and power, which is where Wintour — who’s now Vogue’s global editorial director and chief content officer of the Conde Nast empire — comes in.
“Meghan’s convinced that with her drive and vision, coupled with Anna’s experience and connections, they could totally clean up,” adds an insider.
“She’s very excited to be building new A-list friendships, too, and truly believes this is the start of something special for her and her brand.”
