Before becoming an actress, what did Meghan Markle dream of? A career in politics, as the Duchess herself recounted in her podcast two years ago. But why did Prince Harry’s wife ultimately fail to launch herself? We now know the reason.
Meghan Markle hates failure. And yet, she had to accept it from a very young age. As reported by the Daily Express this Sunday, October 27, the Duchess of Sussex seriously considered a career in politics, before becoming an actress and finding success in the series Suits. The tabloid recounts, using passages from the book Finding Freedom by Omid Scobie, that in 1999, the 18-year-old young woman enrolled at Northwestern University in Illinois to study international relations and theater. During this course, the future wife of Prince Harry would have managed to land an internship at the United States Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with the help of her father Thomas Markle, to whom she no longer speaks, and her brother Mike.
This experience in the world of diplomacy would have awakened political ambitions in her. However, her desire to continue in this path did not allow her to obtain a sufficient score on a “key test” for a job at the State Department of Foreign Affairs.
A disappointment that would have been enough to definitively discourage the student, moreover already aware of her talent for comedy. “When she did not pass the highly competitive test, she was extremely disappointed. She was not used to failing. It was a blow to her self-confidence, which she had always tried to protect,” relates Omid Scobie.
Could Meghan Markle go into politics today? 25 years after this failure, Meghan Markle is no longer an actress and is no longer part of British royalty. Based in Montecito, California, since 2020, she has never publicly mentioned her desire to get involved in the political landscape of her country, but rumors still circulated this summer about a potential career launch.
But nothing has ever been announced by Archie and Lilibet Diana’s mother. In the middle of the American presidential campaign, the forty-year-old and her husband have chosen to keep a low profile.Contrary to their clear positioning in favor of Joe Biden in a video four years ago, the couple preferred this year to denounce the rise of populism and the proliferation of far-right ideas in a press release distributed via their Archewell foundation.
While the duo undoubtedly supports Kamala Harris’ candidacy against Donald Trump, this time they have opted for a more subtle neutrality. Particularly with regard to the British Crown, whose political positions are unknown, but above all to avoid any problems in the event of a victory by the 78-year-old Republican, who has already strongly criticized them in the past.
