Meghan Markle will likely run for president of the United States and “do good things” for the people, the Duchess’s half-brother says.
Speaking to Australia’s New Idea magazine, Thomas Markle Jr., the estranged brother of Meghan Markle, suggested the Duchess has the right drive and determination to succeed as the Americans’ leader.
The brother, who hasn’t seen or spoken to his sister for more than ten years, also went on to insist that Meghan would likely do “good things” for the nation should she rise to a position of power.
“She obviously has that personality and that determination and drive. It wouldn’t surprise me [if she ran for president],” Thomas told the publication.
“I just know, whatever endeavor she endures and puts her hands on, she will do good things. I wish her the best of luck, but absolutely if that’s what she’s going to put her sights on, she’ll go for it.”
Thomas’s comments come shortly after royal biographer Tom Bower suggested that the Duchess will “likely” run for president in the future.
As the biographer warned, however, Meghan would probably struggle to overcome all the criticism that comes along with a political campaign due to her “sensitive” nature.
“The prospect of Meghan running for president is possible and I’d even say likely. I really believe it’s where she sees herself going,” Bower told Closer.
He went on to suggest the Duchess has all the necessary “qualities” – including strong drive, determination, speaking skills, and self-confidence – that one needs to succeed in the world of politics.
Though Meghan clearly gets what she sets her eyes on, Bower warned that her sensitive nature would pose difficulties due to the amount of criticism politicians are subjected to on a daily basis.
“They’re probably the public figures who face the most backlash. I really think she would struggle. She’d need to learn to take the heat,” the biographer added.
Bower also insisted Meghan would need to learn to be a team player in order to succeed in her political campaign.
“We’ve seen through the reports about her staff members quitting and moving on that she doesn’t seem to be able to hold onto her team,” he concluded.
