Looking back just five years, we remember a time when Harry and Megan were adored as newlyweds from the British monarchy. They embarked on a tour of Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific, where they were warmly received by the public. Megan even made headlines by baking banana bread for the Royal Family. However, the landscape has shifted drastically since then.
The recent passing of the legendary political figure, Dian Feinstein, has left her Senate seat vacant. California Governor Gavin Nome, a potential presidential candidate, is tasked with selecting an interim Senator. He has pledged to choose a woman of color who isn't among the declared candidates. Amidst this, rumors began to circulate about Megan Markle potentially stepping into the political arena.
Speculation aside, it's worth noting that Megan and Harry have been open about their democratic leanings and interest in U.S. politics. Megan's close friend revealed that she maintained her American citizenship to explore political opportunities. They even had a video call with Governor Nome. Additionally, Megan has actively campaigned for causes and discussed political issues.
The couple's connections with prominent Democrats are evident, from interviews with Michelle Obama to meetings with Democratic strategists. Megan and Harry have received recognition from Democratic figures and organizations. All of this has led to speculation about Megan's political ambitions.
However, the question remains: does Megan truly desire a career in politics? While it could elevate her and Harry's status and impact, it also means taking on significant responsibilities and leaving behind their royal titles. Additionally, Megan is reportedly gearing up for a major commercial venture, which could be her primary focus.
Financially, their earnings from Spotify and Netflix might not sustain their lifestyle, and Harry's prospects in terms of income seem uncertain. Moreover, politics can be a demanding and public career, potentially affecting their personal lives and the upbringing of their children.
Furthermore, there could be repercussions from Buckingham Palace and the British royal family if Megan enters American politics. It may lead to relinquishing their Sussex titles and potentially impact Harry's role as a counselor of State in the UK.
