Meghan Markle, 39, stepped down as a senior member of the Royal Family with Prince Harry and moved to LA with their son Archie last year. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have since signed multiple deals in a bid to make themselves financially independent from the royals. But royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams has claimed that Meghan, who is a US citizen, could have a political career.

Speaking to Express.co.uk, Mr Fitzwilliams said: “Meghan is a very articulate activist.

“She began activism when she was little, she’s done a great deal over the years.

“What I strongly suspect and also Harry has been involved in several top charities.

“There’s no doubt whatsoever that matters in future years could lead to Meghan having a politicial career or a career with a political dimension because she’s an American citizen. We simply don’t know.

“What we do know is the Netflix deal is very lucrative and will bring certain rewards.

“We also know that there is no question that they seem very happy in the US.”

It comes as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been stripped of their prestigious patronages as the couple confirmed Megxit was permanent.

Harry and Meghan’s decision to walk away from the monarchy and move to the US to pursue personal and financial freedom has come at a cost.

Meghan Markle and Harry: Expert on 'huge' mention of Archie

Buckingham Palace said all were “saddened” by their decision, but they remained “much loved members of the family”.

It had been reported that Harry, a former Army officer with a passion for the military family, was eager to retain his formal links with the UK’s Armed Forces.

But he will lose his roles as Captain General of the Royal Marines, Honorary Air Force Commandant of the Royal Air Force Base Honington, and Honorary Commodore-in-Chief of the Royal Naval Commands’ Small Ships and Diving.

The decision came after the duke held talks with his grandmother the Queen and other senior royals ahead of the one-year anniversary of the Sussexes formally stepping down as working royals on March 31.

A spokesperson for the duke and duchess said despite the formal links being broken they have “offered their continued support to the organisations they have represented regardless of official role”.

Buckingham Palace said in a statement: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have confirmed to Her Majesty the Queen that they will not be returning as working members of the royal family.

“Following conversations with the duke, the Queen has written confirming that in stepping away from the work of the Royal Family it is not possible to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service.

“The honorary military appointments and royal patronages held by the duke and duchess will therefore be returned to Her Majesty, before being redistributed among working members of the royal family.

“While all are saddened by their decision, the duke and duchess remain much loved members of the family.”
