James SS, her Chief of Staff, expressed deep sorrow over her passing and issued a statement saying, "Sadly, Senator Feinstein passed away last night at her home in Washington, DC. Her passing is a tremendous loss, touching the hearts of those who loved and cared for her, as well as the people of California, whom she dedicated her life to serving.
Senator Chuck Schumer, acknowledging Feinstein's exceptional leadership on vital issues, referred to her as a legend both in California and in the Senate.
However, as is often the case in politics, the passing of a prominent figure can create opportunities for others. It was reported that Prince Harry reached out to Gavin Newsom shortly after the news broke, possibly indicating his interest in a political role. The discussion also delved into the constitutional aspect of the situation, with reference to Article 1, Section 9, Clause 8 of the Constitution, which addresses the prohibition of titles of nobility in the United States.
While the idea of a British Prince and his American citizen wife seeking political office may seem unusual, it has become an intriguing point of consideration. Lady Colin Campbell, a British Jamaican author and television personality known as Lady C, revealed during an interview with GB News that some Democrats in Washington and California were eager to distance themselves from Meghan Markle. Lady C noted that Meghan's political ambitions seemed to irritate Democrats, and she suggested that Democrats may have leaked the story about Harry and Meghan's request to join a flight on Air Force One after the Queen's funeral, a request that was denied.
There appeared to be growing frustration among Democrats regarding Meghan's persistent attempts to advocate for herself, especially her suggestion that she should step into Senator Diane Feinstein's position in California, which would grant her access to the intelligence community. In response, it was suggested that Governor Gavin Newsom took the step of blocking Meghan's calls, effectively severing her direct communication with him.
These developments highlight the increasing tensions surrounding Meghan Markle's political aspirations within Democratic circles. A royal expert, Dina, advised Meghan to focus on her role as a duchess. She remarked that pursuing political ambitions didn't align with Meghan's initial intentions before marrying Harry.
Dina emphasized that Meghan's duty as a duchess is to work alongside her husband, Prince Harry, in charitable endeavors, and questioned the rationale behind seeking a political career after marrying into the royal family. Dina also suggested that Meghan's political ambition had always been present and wasn't a sudden decision.
