British Royal Family News says that for those who were hoping that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would have faded into celebrity obscurity by now, it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen anytime soon. In fact, there are new reports that suggest the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are now more ready than ever before to use their voices about issues that are close to their heart, regardless if they are stepping on political territory or not. In other words, this might only be the beginning of Meghan’s political career and stepping stone in the U.S. Here’s what you ngeed to know.
While it’s very rare for royals to be politically active back in the UK, one source close to the situation says that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are going to continue to use their voice to speak out against injustices while also making sure that the integrity of the voting system remains intact, especially with so many races in several states that are still too close to call.
British Royal Family News: Don’t Expect Political Activist Meghan Markle To Stay Quiet Anytime Soon
A spokesman for the couple recently told The Insider, “Part of being an active member of society is to take part in the democratic process. So encouraging people to get involved in politics is something that is important.”
And while royals shouldn’t be understood to have an influence over parliamentary decisions in the UK, the exact rules regarding their political neutrality is still a little murky. It’s also been noted that Meghan Markle is the first modern royal to vote in the U.S. presidential election.
“We do expect royals to have a different role within the constitution,” said the spokesperson. “But the Queen herself, for example, encouraged people to use their right to vote when there was a referendum in Scotland [in 2014] and when there was an election in Wales [in 2003].”
