Meghan Markle has her ‘eye on politics,’ Prince Harry ‘holding out hope for new chapter’ when William becomes King: expert

Meghan Markle has her ‘eye on politics,’ Prince Harry ‘holding out hope for new chapter’ when William becomes King: expert

Meghan Markle may have just announced a brand-new lifestyle brand, but that doesn’t mean she’s turned her back on a potential dip into politics.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, has long been rumored to have been eyeing a career in politics, with unconfirmed reports suggesting she’s been forging connections with top Democrats since quitting royal life in 2020.

In fact, President Biden’s sister, Valerie Biden Owens, previously reportedly “endorsed” Markle as a woman she would back for the White House.

“I’ve always said Meghan has her eye on a bigger gain; this isn’t the bigger gain. I’ve always said she has had her eye on politics,” the late Princess Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell said of the Duchess.

“She is trying everything she can to make as much money as she can to support their lifestyle.”

He continued, “Again, they are going against the royal family’s wishes. Queen Elizabeth specifically said ‘do not use your royal titles for commercial gain’ and that is exactly what they are doing.”

“They are making up their own rules as they go along. As long as they can make money they will try everything,” Burrell added.

If the “Suits” alum was to try her hand at getting her foot in the door at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., it wouldn’t be the first time a Hollywood star set their sights on politics.

Actors including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ronald Reagan established themselves in the political sphere after successful stints on the silver screen.

The bodybuilder, 76, served as the 38th governor of California from 2003 to 2011, and Reagan starred in several Tinseltown features in the 1930s before becoming the 40th US president.

Elsewhere, Burrell touched on the possibility of a royal reconciliation being in the cards between Harry and his estranged brother, Prince William, and their father, King Charles.

“I think [Harry] might be holding out hope for when William becomes King,” Burrell said on behalf of Slingo. “Harry believed there would be a new chapter and a new leaf with a place for him but he would be so estranged by then that he would be barely recognizable to the public and I’m not sure they want him back on a full-time role.”

Calling the runaway royal a “destructive” person to have close to the Firm, Burrell said “you never know what he is going to do next.”

“Now he is a resident of America he always has that possibility of going back to the States to spill the beans and that is not what William wants: he wants privacy, and stability and he can’t have that with Harry standing beside him,” Burrell added.

Indeed, an olive branch has not been extended to the father of two ahead of his UK trip next week.

Not only is Harry set to stay at a hotel after not being offered a royal residence, his estranged family members have no plans to see him during his brief visit to London.

What’s more, Charles is reportedly “too busy” to meet up with his youngest son.
