After Donald Trump's victory over Kamala Harris in the U.S. presidential race, a royal commentator has speculated that Meghan Markle may consider leaving the United States due to her apparent frustration with the outcome. Unlike the more vocal stance the Sussexes took during the 2020 election, they kept a low profile this time, encouraging voter turnout without making explicit political endorsements.
Charlotte Griffiths, Editor at Large for the *Daily Mail*, shared her thoughts on the matter, suggesting that Meghan would likely be deeply upset with Trump’s presidency. Speaking on GB News, Griffiths commented, “Meghan will be really upset to live in America with Trump as president. She really viscerally disliked him for many different reasons, and she’s called him a misogynist on television before. So she might want to leave America.”
Trump has made several critical remarks about the Sussexes in the past, particularly regarding their treatment of the late Queen Elizabeth II. When asked about potential "special privileges" for Prince Harry, Trump responded, “No. We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied, they’ll have to take appropriate action.” This remark referred to Harry’s admissions of past drug use in his memoir *Spare*, released in 2023.
Griffiths added, “Put it this way, Harry’s just bought a house in Portugal, and it might come in pretty handy in the next few months.” She also pointed out that Trump had previously stated that he wouldn’t offer protection to Harry, saying, “He would be on his own, and if it was up to me, he wouldn’t have any protection.”
The controversy surrounding Harry’s memoir has also raised questions about the disclosure of his personal records, though a judge ruled that they would not be revealed.
Eric Trump, however, downplayed concerns over Harry's visa situation, telling *MailOnline* that his father "doesn't give a damn" about Prince Harry, suggesting that these issues likely won’t be a priority for the Trump administration.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams weighed in, acknowledging that while Harry's decision to openly discuss his drug use was “extremely foolish,” it’s unlikely that Trump would take drastic actions against him. Fitzwilliams also noted that although the Sussexes have stayed out of the election spotlight, they still encouraged Americans to vote, without specifying a political preference. Despite rumors of Meghan potentially entering politics, there has been no sign of that happening as of now.
