As Meghan Markle celebrates her 42nd birthday, rumors abound that the former Hollywood actress is seriously considering a future in politics.
True Royalty TV co-founder, Nick Bullen, revealed that he has heard from reliable sources that Markle is reaching out to secure political positions, indicating her ambition in this direction. This idea of Markle entering politics is not entirely new.
In 2019, True Royalty TV aired a documentary titled “Meghan for President?” which explored her longstanding desire to speak out on global platforms even before her acting career. The documentary featured interviews with friends, colleagues, teachers, and royal experts, and showcased rare footage of a 10-year-old Markle attending her first anti-war protest.
Markle’s interest in social issues has been evident throughout her life, making her potential foray into politics plausible. However, it should be noted that members of the British royal family traditionally maintain an apolitical stance in public, meaning they cannot vote or openly express political views.
Additionally, if Markle were to pursue a significant political role, her husband, Prince Harry, would likely have to relinquish his royal title. Since stepping back as senior royals in 2020, Markle and Harry have been active in various endeavors, including a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, a Netflix docuseries about their life, and Harry’s best-selling memoir.
Markle has also been vocal about social and political issues, advocating for paid family leave and reproductive rights. Some have speculated that Markle might consider returning to acting, especially after being signed by talent agency WME. However, Bullen believes her focus is now on philanthropy and her political ambitions. He suggested that Markle might relaunch her blog, The Tig, which she shut down years ago, as a platform to voice her opinions and control her messaging.
While the Sussexes present a united front in their recent video, Bullen believes they might increase their public activities in preparation for Prince William and Kate Middleton’s visit to New York City in September. He anticipates that the Sussexes will be strategizing to secure their position and brand ahead of the Waleses’ visit.
Whether or not Meghan Markle will eventually enter the world of politics remains to be seen. Her interest in social issues and desire to make a positive impact are apparent, and her potential political career could add an exciting dimension to her already eventful life. As her ambitions take shape, the world watches with curiosity and interest, ready to see what the future holds for the Duchess of Sussex.
