Senate from California. James Sauls, her Chief of Staff, issued a statement expressing their sorrow over her passing, stating, "Sadly, Senator Feinstein passed away last night at a home in Washington, DC. Her passing is a great loss for so many, from those who loved and cared for her to the people of California, as she dedicated her life to serving."
Senator Chuck Schumer once lauded Feinstein as a legend, both in California and in the Senate, for her leadership on various crucial issues. However, as is often the case in politics, the passing of one figure can create opportunities for others. It was reported that Prince Harry reached out to Gavin Newsom immediately after the news broke, possibly seeking a role in the political system.
The discussion also turned to the constitutional aspect of the situation, with Congress referencing Article 1, Section 9, Clause 8 of the Constitution, which addresses the prohibition of titles of nobility in the United States. While the concept of a British prince and his American citizen wife seeking political office might seem unusual, it's an interesting point of consideration.
In an intriguing development, Lady Colin Campbell, a British Jamaican author and television personality, also known as Lady C, revealed during an interview with GB News that Democrats in Washington and California were reportedly eager to distance themselves from Meghan Markle. It was noted that Meghan's political ambitions appeared to be a source of irritation for Democrats.
Furthermore, Lady C indicated that Democrats might have leaked the story about Harry and Meghan's request to join a flight on Air Force One following the Queen's funeral, which was denied. Democrats seemed increasingly frustrated with Meghan's persistent attempts to advocate for herself, particularly in suggesting she should step into Senator Dianne Feinstein's position in California, which would grant her access to the intelligence community.
In response to this, it was suggested that Governor Gavin Newsom took the step of blocking Meghan's calls, effectively shutting down her direct communication with him. This development underscores the growing tensions surrounding Meghan Markle's political aspirations within Democratic circles.
