Meghan Markle is “clinging” to her royal title “for dear life” with an expert tearing apart her chances of making a stunning move into US politics or even the White House.
Prince Harry and Meghan have been looking to forge their own careers away from British Royal Family life but more than three years later, they still have their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles.
Meghan had been linked with the vacant Senate hot seat following the death of Dianne Feinstein last week. California Governor Gavin Newsom has opted for Democratic strategist and former labor leader Laphonza Butler on an interim basis.
The Duchess of Sussex has frequently been linked with a move into US politics, while it has previously been reported that she was receiving guidance from Newsom.
But Royal Family author 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.”
Meghan missing out on the vacant Senator’s seat has not put an end to the rumors she could still one day enter US politics or even 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.
