As the US presidential election in November 2024 draws closer, Meghan Markle is reportedly turning her attention towards building a connection with Vice President Kamala Harris. Insiders claim that the Duchess of Sussex believes that forming alliances with influential figures in politics, particularly Harris, who “could be the next US president,” is more beneficial than mending her strained relationship with former friends, such as David and Victoria Beckham.
Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, once shared a close bond with the Beckhams. However, their friendship soured after accusations that Victoria had leaked stories about them to the press, leading to a complete breakdown in communication between the two couples. David Beckham, known for his strong support for the Royal Family, particularly King Charles and Prince William, further fueled the rift. While Harry is reportedly eager to mend fences with the Beckhams as a strategic move to reconnect with his estranged family, Meghan has seemingly shown no interest in reviving the friendship.
Sources close to the couple claim that Meghan considers focusing on the Beckhams to be beneath them. Instead, she prioritizes building relationships with politically influential figures like Kamala Harris. Reports suggest that Meghan is keen to be involved in the upcoming US presidential election, with plans to endorse Harris, whom she has previously expressed support for. Her enthusiasm for Harris was evident in 2020 when Joe Biden selected her as his running mate.
Royal and showbiz reporter Kinsey Schofield revealed to GB News that 40% of people in a Newsweek poll claimed that an endorsement from Meghan and Harry would influence their vote. Schofield suggests that Meghan views this election as an opportunity to advance her “political aspirations”, especially considering President Biden’s stepping down. This move could be a step towards Meghan’s future political career, according to Schofield. “Meghan wants to be included, this is potentially a very historic election. We really saw Meghan involved, including with Kamala Harris in some voter campaigns in 2020, and I think this is a great way for Meghan Markle to get her foot in the door,” she said. While Harry and Meghan have not officially endorsed Kamala Harris yet, the speculation surrounding Meghan’s political ambitions and potential involvement in the upcoming US election continues to swirl.
