‘She will just moan’: Royal expert sheds doubt of Sussexes' campaign to ‘stop misinformation’ in US election

A royal expert has shed doubt on Meghan and Harry's campaign to "stop misinformation" by saying that the duchess will just "grumble about it."

It comes as Meghan and Harry look set to wade into US politics, with their brand Archewell Foundation helping brainstorm new content for the campaign.

There has long been speculation that Meghan has political ambition and at one point there were rumours that she planned on running for president.

Speaking on GB News, editor-at-large for the Mail on Sunday, Charlotte Griffiths said: "There's a sort of consortium of bipartisan campaigners who have got together, and they're going to help stop the spread of disinformation, including deep fakes.

"We don't really know how they're going to do that yet.

"We know that in the past, how Meghan tackles disinformation is she has a good old grumble about it.

"So while she worked for Spotify, who we now know dumped her, she moaned about Spotify.

"She was working for them and getting paid a huge fortune. So she was biting the hand that fed her.

"She moaned that they were spreading disinformation about Covid jabs at the time, so that's probably what she'll do. She'll just release a few more public statements like she did last time.

"As far as I can tell, she hasn't really released any other details other than she's going to control the theme."

Meghan Markle

GB News host Patrick Christys then asked the royal commentator whether Meghan was "paving the way for her own political career."

She responded: "I think those days are gone. There was a moment when she hired Michelle Obama's PR woman and spent $90,000 via Archewell to pay for her, and we did think at the time, God, maybe she actually is going to run for president.

"But now I just feel that moment passed, and now she's making cookery shows and shows about gardening.

"Everything just seems so much more toned down about Meghan now. The moment maybe, dare I say it, has passed for Meghan Markle. I can't see her getting that involved in politics anymore."

It is the second time around the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have gotten involved in a presidential election.

In the 2020 contest, they urged Americans to sign up to vote and reject misinformation.

A few years ago, a friend of the duchess told Vanity Fair magazine that one of the reasons Meghan did not give up her American citizenship when she married into the Royal Family was to allow her to keep open the option of entering politics.
