Dublin disability advocate Sinead Burke is set to grace the cover of British Vogue.
The 29-year-old is set to feature on the cover of the September issue, which is being guest edited by none other than Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle.
A delighted Sinead took to Instagram last night to share the news with her followers.
She wrote: "I’ve been collecting the September issue of Vogue for as long as I can remember.
"They were my gateway into a world that I (at the time) couldn’t visualise myself within.
"Those September issues still line my bookcases at home and now, I’ll get to add one more to that collection - one with me on the cover and many other woman I respect, admire and am inspired by."
Sinead is featured on the cover alongside fourteen other "Forces for Change" as chosen by the Duchess of Sussex.
Others include climate change activist Greta Thunberg and actresses Jameela Jamil, Salma Hayek, Jane Fonda, Gemma Chan, and Laverne Cox.
Meghan first met Sinead last year during the Sussex's royal visit to Ireland.
The reasoning behind her choices was explained in a post on the Sussex Royal Instagram account.
"For the cover, The Duchess chose a diverse selection of women from all walks of life, each driving impact and raising the bar for equality, kindness, justice and open mindedness," it reads.
"The sixteenth space on the cover, a mirror, was included so that when you hold the issue in your hands, you see yourself as part of this collective."
Meghan added: "Guest Editing the September issue of British Vogue has been rewarding, educational and inspiring.
"To deep dive into this process, working quietly behind the scenes for so many months, I am happy to now be able to share what we have created. A huge thanks to all of the friends who supported me in this endeavour, lending their time and energy to help within these pages and on the cover. Thank you for saying “Yes!” - and to Edward, thank you for this wonderful opportunity."
The magazine will feature an interview between Meghan and Michelle Obama, as well as a "candid conversation" between Prince Harry and Dr Jane Goodall.
