Meghan Markle prepares to take a stroll around Washington. She said this when speaking to activist Gloria Steinem in a conversation widely reported in the media. The two women, who were equally confronted on rights and politics, commented on the recent ruling of the American Supreme Court on abortion. The aforementioned “trip to Washington” would serve to put pressure in the political heart of the country for the approval of an amendment for equal rights. But most people don’t miss the deep meaning of this statement: Meghan Markle really is intending to enter politics and, who knows, become president of the United States.
Russell Myers, an expert on the royal family, is convinced that from here on we will see Meghan Markle increasingly engaged in political campaigns. Journalist Dan Wotton on the Daily Mail he recalled the confidence received from one of the Duchess’ closest collaborators in 2019, when relations with Buckingham Palace were becoming increasingly strained: «I think there is something else underneath. Perhaps the intention to enter politics in the United States. I believe the royal family is just a stepping stone for something that he considers more interesting and important ».
According to the well-informed, the former actress Meghan Markle transformed into Duchess, a few years from now he imagines himself among the most important American political figures. Indeed, maybe he will be the first female president of the United States.
Since leaving Britain, she has engaged in some political activities, advocating for example the paid leave and women’s rights in the workplace. The latest utterance on the US Supreme Court ruling seemed even more eloquent and what seemed unlikely just a couple of years ago (i.e. the candidacy of Meghan Markle in the ranks of the American Democratic party) today it seems very plausible.
They sound just like a green light the words of Valerie Biden Owenssister of the current president, who in the broadcast Good Morning Britain judged the political aspirations of the Duchess “achievable”: “Of course, his presidential candidacy is feasible. It is wonderful that there are women in politics. The more there are, the better democracy works. Meghan Markle is welcome and we invite her to join the Democratic Party“. It can’t have been something said just to say: Valerie Biden Owens is long-standing politicswith a not secondary role in his brother’s last election campaign and decisive in 2008 when he was chosen as vice president by Obama.
With the image of Biden and the Democrats somewhat tarnished in public opinion, against a Trump who could return with full honors, in place of Kamala Harris who has fallen into too many gaffes, Meghan Markle seems like a more than expendable name for the next election campaigns and a great character for the 2028 presidential elections. Said today it seems a huge amount, but at the beginning even the name of Donald Trump seemed like a joke.
Provided in the meantime there are no impediments to the candidacy, the Duchess of Sussex will be ready to the hard blows that an electoral campaign can reserve? Some danger looms, for example the issue of bullied collaborators: who ensures that sooner or later they will not be there embarrassing revelations? Other observers focus attention on Meghan Markle’s private life, in particular on first husband Trevor Engelson, which since the divorce in 2013 has always kept a low profile. But you know that the media know how to be very skilled in being told even what should never be said.
