Meghan who had once called Trump misogynistic may intervene in US election: 'She wants to be politically engaged'
Meghan Markle had to take a strictly apolitical stance after marrying Prince Harry. She was "frustrated" by it, but following Megxit, she now believes she can speak freely after the pair quit as working royals, according to sources.
Meghan's friends have said that the actress "has strong political opinions and will now take advantage of the greater freedom she has to express them publicly", according to reports.
The source added that Meghan might use her influence to become involved in the US Presidential election this year. Before she married Prince Harry and had to adopt an apolitical stance, Meghan shared her political opinion openly calling out Trump to be "misogynistic" and "divisive".
However, Daily Mail had reported that since Meghan might no longer be bound by the royal family's strict conventions, her political involvement could be deemed problematic.
Two years ago, rumors were doing the round that Meghan had once confided in a friend that her ultimate goal was to become president. Sources reveal that she admitted the ambitious goal after beginning her relationship with Harry.
In 2015, she reportedly told Piers Morgan that "as a kid, I wanted to be either the president or a news broadcaster like you."
"Her friends and associates affirm that she is a political animal. Such is her fame, she could perfectly well follow a route taken by a certain Ronald Reagan," former editor of The Times, Sir Simon Jenkins said.
"She might lead for the Democrats against a Republican Ivanka Trump. All I can say is, why not?" Meghan's spokesperson declined to comment on the report.
Meghan is close friends with Jessica Mulroney, daughter-in-law of former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. She is also friends with Trudeau and the couple together and formed a close friendship with Barack and Michelle Obama.
She recently shared images on the Sussex Royal Instagram account where she is seen chatting with schoolgirls across India and Rwanda for the International Day for Education.
