The story, which also featured a photo of Markle in her wedding dress, was published on the same day as Kate Middleton and Prince William's 12th wedding anniversary.
Royal family supporters were angered by the timing of the story, and some accused Markle of paying the magazine for the coverage.
Critics claimed that Markle cannot bear to not be the center of attention, and that this was a deliberate attempt to steal the limelight from Middleton and William.
Markle has often been the target of criticism from royal fans and pro-monarchy commentators. She has been blamed for Prince Harry's decision to step down as a working royal and move to the US.
The controversy surrounding the Vogue story is just the latest example of the ongoing tensions between Markle and her detractors in the public eye.
