Meghan’s comments on the US presidential election earlier this year were perceived by some as a sign of her political ambitions. She and Prince Harry urged the US electorate to register to vote, to help implement “change” — which was seen as a slight towards incumbent President Donald Trump — and to reject “hate speech”. Although neither she nor Harry endorsed any particular candidates or parties, many assumed Meghan’s previous claims that Mr Trump was “divisive” and “misogynistic” were indicative that she would support his opposition, the Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
