Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are members of a hereditary monarchy but are preparing to alert American voters of misinformation signals in the upcoming November presidential election.
A new report shared how a "bipartisan coalition with support from Hollywood power players and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Archewell Foundation is working to prepare U.S. voters for a possible deepfake onslaught."
This follows the Duchess of Sussex's involvement in the last presidential election cycle in 2020, which found her teaming up with veteran feminist activist Gloria Steinem.
"She came home to vote," Steinem dished that year when discussing Meghan's "Megxit" from the British monarchy. "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."
The report predicts that new advances in AI technology will allow "malicious state actors and domestic political operatives" to manipulate online media in ways that go far beyond "what was seen in 2016 and 2020." The news release revealed that the royal rebels' company Archewell is "helping brainstorm new content" to combat these apparent threats.
British royals, whether senior working members, junior members, or even those who are exiled or leave the institution, are not allowed to engage in "even the slightest fraction of political discourse," according to a palace insider. Their positions are rooted in "service to all" and its members are not elected, "which means their public opinions should only reflect neutral, non-political topics such as unity and charity."
After leaving the Crown in 2020, the pair moved into a lavish Montecito mansion and urged American voters to "reject hate speech, misinformation, and online negativity," with the Duchess stating that the presidential race was the "most important election of our lifetime."
She added: "We're just six weeks out from Election Day and today is National Voter Registration Day. Every four years we are told the same thing, that this is the most important election of our lifetime. But this one is."
Numerous sources close to the ex-working royals have revealed that she "despises Donald Trump" and the feeling seems to be mutual based on the former president's numerous public critiques of the Suits star.
Meghan is technically allowed to vote in an American election, but it would be considered "bad taste" and inadvertently throw the monarchy into "constitutional chaos."
"We vote to honor those who came before us and protect those who will come after us, because that’s what community is all about," Meghan stated in a 2020 "When We All Vote" online event. "That’s specifically what this election is all about."
The U.S. presidential election takes place on Tuesday, November 5.
