From August 15 to 18, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry traveled to Colombia for an official visit that resembled a royal tour. During this time, the couple actively participated in various events that spotlighted causes close to their hearts, such as mental health in education and female empowerment.
Throughout these days, Meghan Markle once again showcased her extensive dedication to humanitarian efforts. This raised some questions among commentators like Michael Cole, a royal correspondent for the BBC. Cole speculated that these commitments could be preparation for a new turn in Meghan Markle’s career.
Is a New Role on the Horizon for Meghan Markle?
In an interview with GB News, Michael Cole explained that Meghan Markle has always had an inclination towards political and charitable engagement, suggesting a potential new direction for her. “At one point, Meghan wanted to work for the State Department, the U.S. Foreign Affairs Ministry, and she interned at the embassy in Buenos Aires. Sometimes, plays are in three acts. She’s had an acting career, then she obviously became a royal duchess. Is she preparing for something else?” the journalist elaborated.
According to him, she could be an ideal candidate for the Democratic clan, which “could do with a talented and charming candidate.” He further emphasized that this wouldn’t be impossible: “In California, there have been people like Schwarzenegger, not to mention Ronald Reagan, both actors with skills who became governors.”
An Asset for the Crown
Michael Cole predicts a future political career for Meghan Markle and highlights the significant potential of the British royal family. Furthermore, this potential could have significantly impacted Archie and Lilibeth’s mother’s career trajectory.
According to the journalist, she could have brought much more exposure to the causes she champions by leveraging the institution’s aura: “She would have been a huge asset if she had chosen the grand stage that Buckingham Palace could have provided her, instead of moving to Canada and then to the United States.”
One thing is certain: Prince Harry’s wife has no intention of reversing her decision concerning the royal family.
