July 29 (UPI) -- An interview between Meghan Markle and Michelle Obama will appear in British Vogue.

Today confirmed the issue will feature a candid conversation between Markle, 37, and Obama, 55. It will also include an interview between Markle's husband, Prince Harry, and famed chimpanzee researcher Jane Goodall.
The issue's theme is "forces for change" and features several other women, including actresses Jane Fonda, Laverne Cox and Salma Hayek.
"These last seven months have been a rewarding process, curating and collaborating with Edward Enninful, British Vogue's editor-in-chief, 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," Markle said in a statement.
"Through this lens I hope you'll feel the strength of the collective in the diverse selection of women chosen for the cover as well as the team of support I called upon within the issue to help bring this to light," she added. "I hope readers feel as inspired as I do, by the 'Forces of Change' they'll find within these pages."
