Meghan Markle has hit the headlines recently after her attempts to lobby US senators for paid parental leave. Her cold calls are not the Duchess of Sussex’ first time dipping her toes into politics and speculation about the royal seeking political office has been rife. Last October, it was also revealed that Meghan had conducted a virtual “introductory” meeting with the high-powered Democratic governor of California, Gavin Newsom.

Dan Wootton spoke about the Duchess’ political moves on GB News. 

Mr Wootton said: “The Duchess of Sussex has been cold calling US politicians on private numbers to influence their decisions using her royal title as leverage.

“This is an astonishing story. Meghan apparently startled Republican law makers when she unexpectedly called them to lobby for federal paid parental leave.”

Mr Wootton added: “Members of the Royal Family are meant to keep out of politics.

“But I’ve said for a long time, I’ve spoken to a lot of people close to Meghan, she seriously believes – I mean she may be delusional – but this woman seriously believes she may end up in the White House one day.

“That’s what this is about, this is the start of a US political career.”

“This is the first step in a long walk. Why does she not pick up the phone and say hi, I’m Meghan Markle.”

“Instead she calls up and says, hi, I’m Meghan Markle the Duchess of Sussex.”

Meghan was also slammed for using her title when reading her children’s book out loud on YouTube. 

The ex-Royal introduced herself as Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex infront of children, before going on to recite The Bench.
