Meghan Markle tipped to make shock move in desperate bid to keep US political dream alive

Meghan Markle has been tipped to make an astonishing move in a desperate bid to keep her US political dream in one piece.

The Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry are forging their own careers in America, with the former actress regularly being linked with a stunning move into US politics and even the White House.

Fuel has been added to the speculation as it has previously been reported that she was receiving guidance from California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Meghan had been linked with the vacant Senate hot seat following the death of Dianne Feinstein last week, but Newsom instead opted for Democratic strategist Laphonza Butler on an interim basis.

But that hasn't put a stop to rumors of her US political ambitions, with a British Royal Family expert claiming she could aim for a seat in the House of Representatives, which is currently in a state of chaos following the ousting of Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

Richard Fitzwilliams told Daily Express US: "The rumors of Meghan entering the Senate as a replacement for Dianne Feinstein were always rubbish.

"She has an interest in women’s rights and diversity, and there is a possibility she might attempt to enter politics aiming for a seat in the House of Representatives."

But should she decide to make a move into US politics, it is believed she will have to relinquish her Duchess of Sussex title.

Meghan and Harry quit their roles as senior working members of the British Royal Family in 2020 but still have their respective Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles - despite loud calls for those to be stripped from them.

Mr Fitzwilliams continued: "She will have to weigh up the pros and cons for such a move and how important her royal title is to her.

"More importantly, she will have to widen her appeal. What has she actually done? The answer is very little. How does she appeal to the Democratic Party and where? We don’t know this."

One royal author has claimed Meghan is "clinging" to her royal title "for dear life" while tearing apart her chances of making a stunning move into US politics or even the White House.

Angela Levin told Sky News Australia: "Meghan Markle could never really be a politician.

"She’s got very, very thin skin, and she also would have to lose her titles as I believe Harry would as well.

"She’s clinging onto them for dear life, so I don’t think there’s a chance in hell that she’d ever get anything in parliament. It's so ludicrous to think that she could just go in at a high level."

Rudy Giuliani, the ex-New York mayor and former personal lawyer of Donald Trump, also recently gave his opinion on whether Meghan could make a run for the White House.

The Duchess of Sussex has made a series of public interventions into US politics since she and Harry relocated to Montecito, California, lobbying politicians in the country for changes to parental leave and climate policy.

Last year, she was interviewed by feminist pioneer Gloria Steinem for Vogue, where she spoke about the US Supreme Court overturning the historic ruling from the Wade v Roe case in 1973 on abortion.

It was also reported that Joe Biden's sister Valerie Biden Owens, who is also his political strategist, had endorsed Meghan as a potential candidate for the hot seat.

The Duchess also topped a poll in which Democrats were asked which women they would vote for. She tied with vice president Kamala Harris, and was ahead of former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, according to MailOnline.
