Meghan Markle and Prince Harry sat down for a tell-all with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year, but it might haunt her and affect her political plans.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have graced several interviews in the past months. In March, they sat down for an interview with Oprah Winfrey for a CBS special. According to a royal commentator, the interview might not do good for the duchess.
Meghan Markle warned about the repercussions of the Oprah interview
Meghan Markle is rumored to be running for U.S. president. The duchess hasn’t addressed the speculations yet. However, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams warned her that her interview with Oprah Winfrey might “come back to haunt her.”
In an interview with GB News journalist Nana Akua, he mentioned how former U.S. President Donald Trump branded Markle “inappropriate” for using her royal title Duchess of Sussex in her campaign for parental paid leave.
Fitzwilliams said he was interested if Markle wanted to go into politics and how it would go down to the American voters. He pointed out how Markle still got the HRH title but can’t use it. However, she signs herself as Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
“She’s very articulate as she campaigns in my opinion about extremely important issues such as paid parental leave for example which I believe is the right thing to do and also I mean with diversity gender equality there’s no doubt she’d be a very forceful campaigner for the democratic party how will the voters see her?” he said.
“Also, Will they think back? Perhaps Oprah could come back to haunt her because I think it’s already launching us as well,” he added.
Meghan’s dad reacts to rumors about her running for president
Meghan Markle’s estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr. was asked about the rumors of her running for president. The Markle patriarch doesn’t think that the rumors are true. According to him, to his best knowledge, his daughter has no plans to join politics, much more run for the highest office.
Dan Wootton told Markle Sr. that a lot of people who know Markle “very well” claimed that she has plans to run for president someday. However, Markle’s dad dismissed it.
“From beginning to end, I think it’s a complete joke,” Thomas said on GB News.
He added that Markle has no ambitions to be a mayor. He also doesn’t think that she wants to be a governor. “I don’t think that’s in her mind at all,” Markle’s dad said.
