The Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle is the guest editor of British Vogue's famous September issue, which is said to be the magazine's most important issue of the year.
She is the first person to be invited to do so and has called her issue Forces for Change.
The front cover features 15 women who the Duchess feels are trying to bring big changes to society.
These include activist Greta Thunberg, actress Jameela Jamil and Prime Minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern.
Through the project, which the Duchess has been working on since January, she said she wants "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".

Why is the Vogue September issue such a big deal?
For the fashion world, September is like January - it is the start of a new year and time for fresh starts.
People are often changing over their wardrobes from summer to winter clothes, so fashion magazines tend to reflect this.
Vogue isn't the only magazine that makes a big deal out of its September edition, with other fashion publications seeing the ninth month as an opportunity to be more bold with their covers and content.
But as the biggest fashion magazine in the world, Vogue's September issue is widely accepted as the most influential.
The edition is typically longer (not least as lots of companies want to advertise in it, but also because of new autumn/winter clothes), more creative and more daring than other magazines throughout the year.
A big documentary about Vogue called The September Issue was released in 2009, featuring US Vogue editor Anna Wintour. This made it even more significant.
