Meghan Markle has, allegedly, announced that she will run for president in 2024.
This week, a website claiming to promote Markle’s bid for presidency went live and it also sent royal fans into a frenzy.
The website features photos of Markle with politicians, as well as inspiring quotes from Prince Harry’s wife. At the bottom of the website is an alleged statement from Markle.
“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, I have heard your calls to become President of the United States of America. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few months, that I feel prepared to make this decision. With your support, I believe we can bring equality, empowerment, and kindness to this dangerous, aggressive, and confrontational world we live in,” the statement read.
Royal fans were quick to say that the statement didn’t come from Markle and that it was made up. However, this doesn’t mean that Markle will never run for office one day.
In fact, royal commentator Phil Dampier said that in the coming months, the Duchess of Sussex will become more involved in politics. And she could one way aspire to become the president of the United States.
“I believe she will increasingly get involved in politics and may one day try and run for the presidency. I don’t think the Queen, Prince Charles, William, and the royal courtiers will be happy about this, but there is little they can do and increasingly, Meghan and Harry seem determined to burn bridges,” Dampier said.
Meanwhile, Gossip Cop recently revisited a tabloid’s claims that Markle will run for president in the 2024 elections.
“Meghan's always had political designs, and there are whispers she's thinking of running as a Democratic candidate for the 2024 presidential election. It might seem a while away, but now is the time to prepare, which might explain why they have rushed into moving to Los Angeles. Sure, a duchess going for Commander-in-Chief sounds weird, but is it any weirder than a reality TV show contestant like Donald Trump being president?” the source said.
However, the claims that Markle would run for president are just based on hearsays. It could happen one day, but for now, the stories about the Duchess of Sussex running for office are nothing more than just rumors.
