In an interview with Slingo, Burrell said: “Don’t underestimate Meghan, she’s ambitious.
“And what if she became Governor of California and lords it over Hollywood.”
Speaking of Meghan and Prince Harry’s potential of becoming a “power couple”, the former royal butler added: “It’s not so far-fetched because they have to keep going on, they have to keep reinventing themselves because if they don’t, that brand is going to disappear, the Sussex brand will disappear.”
Burrell then mentioned a few other famous actors who have ventured into Governorship – citing Arnold Schwarzenegger as one.
But he claims that he believes the couple have the power to win over the public again and, despite recent blows, have a chance to leave a legacy for the late Princess Diana’s name.
He added: “I do think there’s a world out there that is still fascinated by it all, by them.”
For Meghan, Burrell added that she could have a path of opportunities ahead to “grow tentacles in different areas”.
Burrell concluded: “Why wouldn’t someone want to take a risk with that and create something for Meghan then that would give her a foothold and a platform to launch herself into fashion?.”
