Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ruffled feathers during the last US election.

When it comes to politics, royals usually stays well clear of becoming involved – apart from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

In the run-up to Tuesday’s crunch US presidential election, the Sussexes i ssued a statement urging Americans to make sure they are registered to vote in the contest between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The couple have not gone as far as endorsing either candidate as the statement stopped short of showing support for either candidate in the race for the White House. And this may be because at the time of the last presidential election, Harry and Meghan reportedly caused anger with one bold move.

And while they did not specifically mention anyone by name, the remarks were interpreted as referring to Mr Trump and therefore an endorsement of Mr Biden, with some claiming it was a breach of the Sandringham Summit agreement, which was written up when the couple quit their royal duties in 2020. Later Mr Trump spoke out saying he was “no fan” of Meghan.

And at the time, royal aides told The Sunday Times that the remarks broke the pledge, leaving the Royal Family “wringing their hands”. “The feeling is it’s a violation of the agreement,’ one source said.

It has long been rumoured that Meghan could favour a career in politics one day. In 2021, she spent time cold-calling senators in the US as she campaigned for paid parental leave. The Duchess is said to have called senators Shelley Moore Capito and Susan Collins using a withheld number and told them: “This is Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.”

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are both
Also, during the last US election campaign, Meghan joined forces with feminist Gloria Steinem as they called on Americans to vote. In an interview with Access Hollywood, Gloria said: “She came home to vote. The first thing we did, and why she came to see me, was we sat at the dining room table where I am right now and we cold-called voters.” She also said that Meghan was “so excited” to see Kamala Harris running to be vice president.
