It is your choice! Meghan Markle breaks 'royal' rules again
He will be the first person from UK royalty to exercise his right to vote in US elections.
Donald Trump and Joe Biden will play it this Tuesday in the presidential elections of the United States after some debates that have sometimes been very harsh, even reaching personal disqualifications. There have been many familiar faces that have asked US citizens to exercise their right to vote in elections that have been branded as crucial. And among those well-known people Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have slipped in, who at the end of September encouraged people to leave the house to deposit their choice in the ballot box. Now the key moment has arrived and this day will go down in the history of the United States, and also of the British monarchy, which will see how the Duchess of Sussex becomes the first member of the Royal Family to vote at an election date. .
Although it is not known if Meghan, born in California, has participated by mail or in advance, what sources consulted by Newsweek assure is that the Duchess will participate in the process. In late September, she appeared with her husband in a Time magazine special asking her fellow citizens to go to the polls. “Every four years they tell us the same thing, that this is the most important choice of our life. But this one is. When we vote our values come into action and our voices are heard, ”Meghan said with her husband from a wooden bench in the garden of their house. Although he has been living in the United States for a few months now, Prince Harry, grandson of Elizabeth II and sixth in the line of succession to the throne, will not be able to attend the call as a celebration of democracy, as he himself He recalled: “Many may not know that I have not been able to vote in the UK in my entire life. As we approach November, it is vital that we remake hate speech, misinformation and negativity online, ”she said.
In this way, the Sussexes broke one of the great taboos of royalty, since even in some places these samples would be considered unconstitutional. In fact, Meghan Markle has campaigned to avoid abstention with phone calls in which she proposed to call voters on a cold door and address the issue directly: "Hello, I'm Meg, are you going to vote?", According to her friend Gloria Steinem. , an icon of feminism in the United States for decades. Although the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are no longer an active part of the English monarchy, the truth is that Harry as the grandson of the current sovereign and son of the heir will always be a figure that represents the Windsors, although he no longer has an institutional agenda and is that's why those statements drew so much attention. However, in the past, Elizabeth II has encouraged the British to vote.
