Meghan Markle is politically ambitious and is forming ties with the right people to get started in the world of politics, a royal expert suggested.
The Duchess of Sussex, who remained very vocal about personal, social, and political issues after quitting her life as a royal in the UK, could be running for president in 2024, sources, including a close friend, previously suggested.
Now, royal expert Russell Myers hinted the former Suits star is already rubbing shoulders with the people that could help her make a big break in the political scene.
“Prince Harry and Megan have moved over to the United States. They’ve got their financial freedom. They’ve got their essential freedom from the royal family so they can speak on political issues,” Myers said on the Lorraine show.
“And certainly, Meghan was speaking to Vogue at the weekend, talking about Roe versus Wade, a very, very controversial abortion law that has been repealed in the US.”
Over the weekend, the 40-year-old met with activist Gloria Steinem and suggested the two could soon be going to Washington.
“Now Meghan has said, you know, that [she] might be in Washington very soon,” Myers added.
“So does she have political ambitions? I do think she does. And she’s certainly rubbing shoulders with the right people and making the right noises.”
As the royal expert believes, the “right noises” that Meghan is making are likely an indication that “she might stand for office” in the near future.
The comments come after Meghan blasted the Supreme Court for overturning the Roe v Wade landmark case and called on men to be more vocal as she branded Prince Harry as a feminist.
“Men need to be vocal in this moment and beyond because these are decisions that affect relationships, families, and communities at large,” Meghan said during an interview for Vogue.
“They may target women, but the consequences impact all of us. My husband and I talked about that a lot over the past few days. He’s a feminist, too.”
