True scale of Meghan and Harry’s US political plans revealed — from request for Biden Oval Office meeting to eyeing Senate seat
NY Post ^ | 20 August 2026 | Emily Goodin and Sarah Nathan

Delusional Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sought US political clout far beyond the dreams of any British royal since King George III, The Post has learned, with the Duchess of Sussex angling to take over the Senate seat held by Kamala Harris ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

Weeks before Democrat Joe Biden’s win over President Donald Trump, a source says, Markle requested a sitdown with California Gov. Gavin Newsom because she “wanted to be considered to be appointed” to the seat held by Harris, which she vacated just before becoming vice president on Jan. 20, 2021. The source added that the discussion was publicly described as a welcome-to-California chat to head off potential inquiries.

It is unclear just how far Markle’s appeal got with Newsom, who appointed California Secretary of State Alex Padilla to replace Harris two days before her swearing-in as Biden’s second-in-command. Padilla subsequently won election to a full six-year term in 2022.

A Sussex source firmly denied that Markle wanted to take over the Harris seat, while a rep for Newsom did not respond to a request for comment.

Markle as Senator from California? Why not - Harris, Feinstein, and Boxer were!

I’d vote for Harris a thousand times before voting for British “nobility”.

“Markle requested a sitdown with California Gov. Gavin Newsom because she “wanted to be considered to be appointed” to the seat held by Harris”

Why not?

‘Yacht Girl’ Meghan had a lot in common with Heels Up Harris.

The Grifter strikes again. Good grief, SPAM does like to climb. She’s 3rd rate actress on a now defunct series. She marries her title getting the recognition she’s climbing for then because dumbbell Harry can’t see it, convinces him to step back from the job of royal duties. Knowing that she has to play 2nd fiddle to Kate because of the lineage issue, she convinces Harry to leave his country for Canada then the US. She attempts all kinds of projects to keep herself in the public eye but failed. We find she tried to take over the salad talking witch’s job. After alienating the family with a tell-all book, spending Harry’s inheritance and monies she received from all her failed pet projects, this couple is flat out broke and need to return to the fold to find a living. What a couple!

Yup, certainly does sound like Senator material! She’d fit right in.

Fortunately even most the leftists of this country recognize the Harkles as unserious lame-a$$ grifters and laughed at the idea of “Senator MeAgain Harkle”.

So I heard a couple days ago that they are running back to Merrye Olde Englande in hopes that they will be welcomed back with open arms and open wallets of the British Elite.

I know she is an American citizen, but something about the Duchess of Sussex being in the Senate doesn’t sit right by me. The fact that the duchess just happens to be Meghan Markle makes it even worse.

Interesting that she’s not popular with the Left in this country even though they are ideologically compatible.

When the Obamas dumped them not long after they arrived here, expecting the Oprah/Michelle connection to rocket them to the upper stratosphere of American celebrity and power, wow. It was rumored that Michelle and Barack had taken a liking to them and filled their heads with how to leverage their titles into a lucrative celebrity-circuit grift in the U.S., and flip the bird to the British, whom Barack bore a grudge towards because of Kenya’s former status as a colony. It was a way for him to feel close to his absentee “father.”

But then, Oprah rightfully got a faceful of condemnation on social media for her disgraceful interview with the Harkles, bringing her racial insinuations into it as Prince Philip lay dying. Uh-oh!

Next, Obama’s crew threw that 60th birthday bash for him in multiple rented tents on the lawn of their Martha’s Vineyard mansion, and the Harkles weren’t invited. (Was this before the chef drowned, or after? I don’t recall.)

To even a casual observer, this indicated that the grand Duchess of Pretention had seriously overplayed her hand with them. It’s been a long, slow slide downhill since then. And Harry’s just been along for the ride.

The one card she hasn’t been reported to have played would have been using her former status as a suitcase girl on Deal or No Deal to pressure Howie Mandel to make her a judge on America’s Got Talent. Then again, she would probably have wanted to ditch Terry Crews and be the hostess. Or maybe ditch Simon Cowell...

I’d love to take this little git by the neck and wring it till he chokes.

And while I’m at it I’ve noticed the Brits are horning in on OUR Independence Day celebrations carrying our flag along with that ‘fing Union Jack.

We fought that flag, twice to get it out of here.

It’s an insult.

We don’t celebrate Gut Fawkes Day here.
