Interest in all things Meghan Markle and the British Royal Family has grown since the bomb interview with Oprah Winfrey. This conversation raised many questions about the inner workings of the Windsor House and about what Prince Harry and Markle have been planning to do for a long time now that they are no longer involved in royal affairs.
This latest question has particularly attracted the interest of the press and has led to a variety of speculations including the news that Meghan Markle is planning to run for President in 2024.
The Presidential Conversation actually stretches before the interview with Winfrey. Last September, Vanity Fair published an article saying Meghan seriously considered running for President, saying that is why she did not relinquish her U.S. citizenship when she married Prince Harry. The reactions didn’t really make much of a fuss at the time, but are drawing attention again after the interview with Winfrey.
Well, it's hard to look at Meghan Markle / Oprah Winfrey's conversation and not see possible political options. Markle has a real way of communicating and she is willing to bring bigger and uncomfortable conversation topics. As a British royal and a well-known actress, she has communication skills, life experience on the world stage and a lot of natural charisma. If you can use Twitter as a metric, it is also liked by a wide percentage of the public. As Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump and others have proven in the past, name recognition can help a lot in American politics.
Constitutional experts say she will likely need to give up her Royal title (Duchess of Sussex) in order to run, and it is unclear if she would like to attract the kind of attention that would come after a political power given how badly it was mistreated by the British tabloids.
