The New York Post dropped yesterday an absolute tell-all alleging the true, wild scale of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s U.S. political ambitions following “Megxit” and it is a mess!
According to sources, the couple sought political clout far beyond what any British royal has attempted since the Revolutionary War, but their ambitious moves reportedly crashed and burned.
Eyeing Kamala Harris’s Senate Seat: Right before the 2020 election, Meghan reportedly reached out to California Governor Gavin Newsom requesting a sit-down. The real reason? She allegedly wanted to be considered for appointment to Kamala Harris’s U.S. Senate seat once Kamala became Vice President! The meeting was publicly framed as a “welcome-to-California” chat to avoid suspicion. (A Sussex source strongly denies this, while Newsom’s rep stayed silent).
The Oval Office & Blair House Rejection: In late 2021, the pair allegedly asked the White House for a high-profile Oval Office meeting with President Joe Biden, as well as VIP accommodations at Blair House—a luxury perk strictly reserved for visiting heads of state. White House staff quickly shut it down, fearing a massive diplomatic fight with the British Monarchy and 10 Downing Street.
A Box of Lemons: Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki revealed in her memoir that Meghan once sent a box of lemons straight to Psaki’s home, asking her to carry them past White House security to hand-deliver to First Lady Jill Biden.
Air Force One Freebie: After Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022, Harry and Meghan reportedly asked if they could hitch a ride back to the U.S. aboard Air Force One with the Bidens. Unsurprisingly, the answer was a swift “no.”
Constitutional Drama: Experts pointed out that if Meghan had actually snagged a Senate seat, it likely would have triggered a constitutional crisis over the U.S. Constitution’s “Titles of Nobility” and Emoluments clauses.
Back to the UK: After their U.S. political and Hollywood ambitions allegedly fizzled out, the Post reports the couple is now packing up their Montecito estate and moving their family back to the United Kingdom—a move that allegedly caught King Charles III completely by surprise just days ago.
