Meghan Markle’s transition from her acting career to marrying into the royal family was nothing short of a seismic shift. However, it was their decision to step back from their royal duties that truly set tongues wagging. Ever since they made that decision, it marked the beginning of a tumultuous era for the royal family, especially after Prince Harry’s revealing memoir, Spare, was released, offering juicy insights into their experiences. Since then, the royal couple has ventured into a variety of areas.

With the passage of time, the arena of politics also opened up for the Sussexes. It turned out that even the realm of politics posed challenges for them.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s turbulent journey in politics

Since stepping back from their royal roles, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have embarked on various ventures, including podcasts, docuseries, Netflix deals, and Spotify collaborations. Their latest endeavor, politics, presents a tough choice: retain their royal titles or sever ties with the royal family to pursue their political ambitions. As reported by The Daily Express, the expert Richard Palmer said, “She and [Prince] Harry have proved to be so thin-skinned in handling the scrutiny [and] criticism that goes with being a member of the Royal Family.” 

Royal correspondent expressed skepticism about the couple’s suitability for the world of politics. He cited their sensitivity to scrutiny and previous criticisms of the royal family as potential hindrances. Despite these doubts, Palmer acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding their political ambitions and suggested that Markle, should she choose to enter politics, might need to distance herself from her royal associations and refrain from using her royal title.

The political upheaval utterly dashed the prospects of the Sussexes running for the presidency.

Meghan Markle for president?

Royal expert Kinsey Schofield dealt a heavy blow to Markle’s potential political career in the United States early this year. She declared that any hope of Markle running for office had been “completely destroyed.” Moreover, she raised concerns about trustworthiness, citing the Duke’s past admissions of drug use and controversial actions like wearing a Nazi costume. Furthermore, Prince Harry blamed his brother and sister-in-law for it. The South Park episode mocking the Sussexes’ media activities and Prince Harry’s memoir further fueled doubts about Meghan’s political ambitions.

Schofield emphasized that the American public would unlikely support Markle’s bid for the White House. Persistently because of concerns about the couple’s immaturity and the details shared in Prince Harry’s memoir. However, the supporters once backed her for the post back in 2022. She argued that Americans seek trustworthiness in their leaders, and Markle’s political aspirations appear to face substantial skepticism. They portray the couple’s pursuit of privacy despite public endeavors.
