Following Meghan Markle’s triumphant visit to Nigeria, her fans and supporters increasingly believe that she is destined to become one of the next occupants of the Oval Office, as president of the United States.
Meghan’s Suits co-star Erika Alexander said this week that the Duchess of Sussex is “heading for the White House”, predicting that she is the activist and champion of women with the courage to become the leader of the Free World.
Experts have told MailOnline that Meghan might be just a few steps away from the US presidency – as long as she is inspired by one of her fiercest critics, Donald Trump, and her prince husband is willing to become an American.
Distinguished historian Christopher Phelps, an expert on US politics, told MailOnline today (18.05.2024): ‘It would be a great story. The British prince who loved her so much that he gave up his British citizenship to become an American. There would be no requirement for him to do so – but he would have to if he wanted to have any credibility.”
Her pseudo-royal tour of her self-proclaimed “homeland” Nigeria with Prince Harry has been seen by some as a potential springboard for her political career.
But another politician warned: “Meghan has political ambitions but like most celebrities or business people, she’s not ready to get there. Maybe Oprah Winfrey might pull it off. But she has made it through hard work. Megan hasn’t done anything.”
Professor Phelps, who teaches at the University of Nottingham in England, said parallels might be drawn between the former Suits star and former actor Ronald Reagan, who was governor of California before serving as the 40th president of the United States from 1981 by 1989. Arnold Schwarzenegger also made the transition from showbiz to politics.
“Her name will open doors, but you can’t just say ‘you all know who I am – vote for me’ – she has to have some substance in politics. “Americans want to know how she’s going to protect their jobs, where she stands on taxes and on dealing with crime in their neighborhoods,” he said.
