The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have faced increasing criticism and have been branded as pariahs due to Meghan's apparent political ambitions.
It was reported that Joe Biden snubbed the couple when they asked for a ride on Air Force One after the Queen's funeral last year, further exacerbating the situation.
As the 2024 campaign season gathers momentum, speculations about Meghan potentially joining President Biden's Democratic party have intensified, leading to scrutiny of her political interests.
Meghan Markle's involvement in American politics dates back to the 2020 U.S. presidential elections, where she and her husband released a Time 100 video message encouraging people to vote.
Subsequently, Meghan called Republican senators and wrote to Congress advocating for paid parental leave. In another instance, she weighed in on the overturning of Roe vs. Wade.
The Sun obtained a memo suggesting that Meghan and Harry participated in a virtual meeting with California Governor Newsom just weeks before the 2020 U.S. presidential vote. It was later revealed that Meghan had the audacity to request an appointment to replace Senator Dianne Feinstein until the next election upon her retirement. However, Governor Newsom reportedly ended the meeting without committing to her request, stating, "I'm not going to make you Senator."
Due to her persistent efforts and cold-calling of senators and congresswomen on private phones, Meghan has found herself facing stonewalling from the Democrats. It seems that her approach has not been well-received, and her number has been blocked by some politicians.
Notably, Lady Colin Campbell and journalist Phil Dampier believe that Meghan and Harry are now outcasts, being shunned even by their famous friends. Some speculate that President Biden's close relationship with Prince Charles may have influenced the situation, leading to the Air Force One snub.
This latest development has put Meghan's political aspirations under a harsh spotlight, and some question whether she truly has the clout, backing, and temperament for a successful political career. While there were once rumors of her potentially running for president, many now doubt the feasibility of such a venture. It may be wiser for Meghan to focus on other pursuits, particularly in the commercial sphere.
