Is Meghan Markle already preparing a candidacy to be the first woman president of the United States? The Duchess of Sussex “will use the fury over Oprah’s interview to start her political career while networking among Democrats,” says a senior worker with strong ties to Washington
- One of the leading Labor MPs said she was networking among senior Democrats
- Networking is said to aim to create a campaign and fundraising teams
- In the last U.S. election, Harry and Meghan launched an attack with a veiled veil against Trump
- If she came to the White House, Meghan would be the first president of the United States
Meghan Markle will use the fury of her interview with Oprah to launch a political career that could take her to the White House, if rumors circulating around Westminster last week turn out to be accurate.
A senior Labor figure – a veteran of the Tony Blair administration in Downing Street with strong ties to Washington – told The Mail on Sunday that Mrs Markle, 39, was networking with senior Democrats to build a campaign and fundraising teams for the US presidency.
Last night, a source close to the Duchess of Sussex declined to comment, but the couple has made no secret of their political beliefs.

A senior Labor figure claimed that Meghan Markle (pictured last year), 39, was networking among senior Democrats with the aim of building a campaign and fundraising teams to lean towards the presidency of the United States.
During last year’s U.S. election, they launched a veiled attack on Donald Trump urging voters to “reject hate speech,” which a couple spokesman described as “a call for decency.” Trump himself stated that he was “not a fan” of Meghan, 39.
A source said: “Networks of Blairite, internationalist and Democrat parties are buzzing about talking about Meghan’s political ambitions and possible sponsors.”
Last year, a friend of the Duchess told Vanity Fair magazine that one of the reasons she did not relinquish her American citizenship when she married the royal family was to allow her to keep the option to enter Washington politics.
U.S. constitutional experts responded that he would have to relinquish his title if he wanted to hold public office in the United States, as it would affect the U.S. oath of allegiance.
Buckingham Palace attempted to distance the Royal Family from remarks made during the US election by a statement saying “the Duke is not a member of the Royal Family” and describing his comments as “made in a personal capacity”.
The source added that the presumption was that the duchess was looking to 2024, when President Joe Biden will be 82 and decide whether he wants to run for a second term.

During last year’s US election, the couple launched a veiled attack on Donald Trump urging voters to “reject hate speech.”

If she came to the White House, Meghan would be the first woman president of the United States, successfully when Hillary Clinton failed for just four years
If she came to the White House, Meghan would be the first woman president of the United States – a success where Hillary Clinton failed just four years ago – and the second non-white occupant of the Oval Office after Barack Obama.
He would also follow in the footsteps of President Ronald Reagan, who was a Hollywood actor for four decades before moving into politics. During the 2020 campaign, the Duchess addressed the When All Women Vote on the Couch party, the organization co-founded by Michelle Obama to encourage participation in elections.
Meghan’s friends have previously encouraged speculation about her political ambitions: they have described her rise from modest beginnings as “the embodiment of the American dream.”
