The Duchess of Sussex, 43, and the former magazine editor were once thick as thieves who bonded over mint tea and "philosophising".
The ex-Suits actress said the duo were "like-minded thinkers" after she helped edit an edition in 2019.
But insiders told the

Royal expert Hugo Vickers told The Sun: "None of this surprises me at all, because we see it the whole time when things don't go her way. She just overreacts.
"Clearly in this case with Edward Enninful, she has made something of an enemy, because he then dropped her from something she would have liked to be a part of, and it seems to happen the whole time.
"She's very demanding. She's difficult to work with. She has her ideas of what she wants to do, and she doesn't seem to want to listen to anybody else, and that's when you get into a trouble."
Mr Vickers also highlighted how many people are now removed from Meghan's life, from ex-husbands to close pals.

"There is a theme which runs through all this is that she's always rejecting people, or indeed, falls out with," said Mr Vickers.
"Her father for one, who was very good to her when she was growing up, her first husband just gets dumped, her Canadian chef lover in Canada, dumped as well.
"Jessica Mulroney, her great friend in Canada, dumped, the entire British Royal family, and apart from her mother, all her own family."
He dubbed the reported fall out with Enninful a "normal theme" and added "everything she does seems to go wrong".
Mr Vickers continued: "She should listen to somebody like Edward Enninful, he's a very highly qualified editor, and he knows what he's doing, running a very important magazine.

"I would have thought it would have been well in her interest to keep in with him, instead of upsetting him.
"She doesn't know better. Unfortunately, as has been proved time and time again."
He added: "She is just so incredibly difficult, and that is the theme, and that is the narrative now, and I suspect that that will go on and probably get worse."
Mr Vickers suggested part of the trouble stems from the fact everything "is always focused on her".
He spotlighted the Duchess' Mother's Day post in which she praised herself and failed to mention her own mum.
"I really feel sorry for those children, and I wonder what sort of what they're going to think when they grow up and realise how they're being used in these things as well," he added.
This comes after Meghan reportedly cut her plans to work with Enninful on a feature in 2022.
The former editor allegedly wanted to showcase the Duchess' keynote speech at the
However, he didn't want to give them a front cover.
Conde Nast insiders claimed Meghan axed their arrangement.
A Conde Nast insider claimed: "The duchess and her team had high expectations and were expecting she might get a print cover or at least a digital cover out of it, but
"He already had a magazine cover in the bag for that month."
"The whole process became very difficult. Edward could only promise her a big showy feature inside the magazine and online – but she turned it down."
After being told they wouldn't make the cover, sources claim Meghan asked to be on the special digital cover which would be available with the print edition.
Her request was refused, by Enninful, because he didn't think it would be "appropriate".
The Duchess was so offended she walked away from the offer completely, leaving the former editor "furious".
It is understood this was his breaking point and their friendship was fractured beyond repair.
Insiders also claim it hasn't gone unnoticed in the Sussex household how much more involvement Enninful has with the Royal Family.
Enninful is now a trustee for The King's Fund, King Charles's charity.
And, he hosted a glitzy New York event for The King's Trust earlier this month - and Meghan was definitely not on the list sources claim.
This comes after fans claimed
The Duchess was noticeably absent from the impressive shoot, featuring 40 "of the most booked and blessed women on earth".

"They felt it was important from an editorial perspective that they got together to watch it."
However, royal biographer Tom Bower previously claimed in his book Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War between the Windsors, that Meghan and Enninful feuded during the creation of Vogue's September 2019 issue.
Staff were described as being left in "silent exasperation" at Meghan and her demands.
It claimed the duchess proposed poor ideas, and accused her of being difficult to approach with opposing suggestions.
Bower also wrote that Enninful and Meghan had a difference of opinion on how to market the edition - as the former actress wished to leak snippets online before its release, while the editor thought secrecy was best.
Meghan even asked if the magazine could hit the shelves in the US before the UK, according to the book, which ruffled feathers with head of communications, Sara Latham.
The Sussexes have been contacted for comment.
