Meghan Markle, US president? It is the hypothesis of an English documentary
The role of duchess is particularly close to Markle. The former actress aims higher and an upcoming documentary, signed by Nick Bullen, examines how Meghan would be preparing to enter politics in America. Some important friends are complicit
Meghan's dissatisfaction is palpable. Since she appeared in a British television documentary about her recent official trip to South Africa with Harry and little Archie, barely holding back tears and admitting the difficulties she experienced during her first year as Duchess of Sussex, there has been speculation about its future.
And now a new documentary, titled "Meghan For President?", Made by British videomaker Nick Bullen, claims that the duchess, tired of a role at court that does not allow her to make a difference as she would like, is preparing to move permanently to the Use to throw yourself into politics at home. With the aim of entering the White House.
A career written in the stars
The Duchess, who already as a child organized political protests, especially against the Gulf War, and fought for women's rights, once an adult alternated her career as an actress with a commitment as a social activist. But she has realized that, remaining within the limits of the English court, she will not be able to do much. The queen and her traditionalist and, in some ways, archaic system of rules do not allow her the freedom to choose and fight for the causes that matter most to her, as well as in her own way, more direct, independent and, if necessary, even unconventional. Her every move must be approved by Elizabeth's officials who, when 38-year-old Meghan stands up to something, doesn't scruple to personally intervene with all her authority and one of her icy looks.
Important friends
As a senior member of the British royal family, Meghan would not be allowed to enter politics in Britain but, having retained her American citizenship, nothing can stop the fearless Duchess at home. And to this end, Markle is already laying the foundations for the next phase of her public life, with the help of important friends such as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Michelle Obama, Amal Clooney, and Hillary Clinton, who is in recent days. in London with his daughter Chelsea to promote the book "The Book of Gutsy Women" and yesterday, during a radio interview with the BBC, he defended the Duchess, expressing the desire to offer her comfort with a hug.
And we are just at the beginning
"The Duchess is rewriting the rules of the royal family," Bullen told US broadcaster Fox News. “She is used from an early age to stand up for her ideals and is determined not to stop at her real role. We are just at the beginning ". Bullen, Prince Charles' favorite documentary maker and author of numerous television shows about British royalty, interviewed friends, teachers and colleagues at Markle. Like Liz Kores, a friend from school, who said Meghan would be "a phenomenal president, thanks to her passion for volunteering and a desire to help those most in need".
A permanent base in LA
Once back to live in Los Angeles, where she and Harry have already been looking for a home for a while and where they prepare to spend a full six weeks, including Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations (ignoring for the second time the invitation from Elizabeth II in Sandringham), Meghan will have the opportunity to attend important political salons and form alliances essential to her aspirations and suitable for the causes she wants to dedicate herself to on a global platform. Starting with a role of humanitarian ambassador that as a simple Duchess of Sussex she would never have been granted. And for the British royal family it would be an unprecedented move, which will undoubtedly make Elizabeth, Charles and perhaps even the traditional William turn up their noses.
A film already imagines the president
A Meghan in the role of US president is also the subject of a film currently in the works. The story is set in ten years and imagines the Duchess in the White House, with Harry in the role of "First Man", and William and Kate already on the throne of England. One scene, in particular, is destined to make people talk at court: the state banquet organized by the new king to welcome the president's sister-in-law, on an official visit to Great Britain.
At the cinema with Fergie
But this is just one of many royalty-inspired films in the wake of the recent success of "The Crown" (the third series kicks off Sunday November 17 on Netflix), "Victoria" and "Catherine the Great". Sarah Ferguson has been working on the script of her second film as a film producer in recent weeks: after "The Young Victoria", with Emily Blunt, produced in 2009 with Martin Scorsese and which saw her daughter Beatrice in a part - the first Windsor acting on the big screen - for her new project the Duchess of York has decided to focus on Princess Louise of Saxony, mother of Prince Albert (husband of Queen Victoria). At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Luisa was considered the "Diana of the time" and died at the age of 30, after having scandalized at court with two marriages and numerous extramarital affairs.
Kate tries too
And a third duchess is preparing to make her television and celluloid debut: Kate Middleton is in secret negotiations with the BBC for a series of projects of various kinds, including fiction, inspired by the charitable causes she supports. According to rumors, the Duchess of Cambridge has been asked to appear in person but Kate would prefer a behind-the-scenes role.
