Meghan Marklea would “love to play a political role” in the future when her kids go to school, royal author Tom Bower has claimed. But he pointed out that the Duchess of Sussex “needs a lot of money to live”. Speaking to Palace Confidential on Mailplus, Mr Bower said: “I think she sees her future as a California congressman.
“There are 40 seats there and most of them are Democrats.
“But her problem is twofold: one is that it is very poorly paid and that Meghan needs a lot of money to live on, and secondly you have to be pretty tough in a political fight.
“Whether she has the ability to be that tough and insensitive to go with the rocks and rolls, we’ll see – she can’t charge people the way she would like in Britain for assaulting her.
“I think she would like a political role, I think she will wait to see her children go to school first, she will lay the foundation for it.

“But she’s a very pretty woman, she’s sassy, she’s got her issues like parental rights — there’s been worse people who’ve been congresswomen, so there’s a good chance.”
It comes as a royal expert has claimed that Meghan is taking a “completely different path” from Prince Harry.
The Duchess called Senators Shelley Moore Capito and Susan Collins on an unlisted number about paid parental leave and U.S. government climate policy.
Royal pundit Neil Sean has claimed Meghan’s involvement in politics has left Prince Harry as a “house man”.
Royal commentator Hilary Fordwich attacked the Duchess of Sussex for meddling in politics while using her title.
Speaking to Dan Abrams on Newsnation, Ms Fordwich said: “Prince Harry clearly has no control over his wife because he knows full well that you can’t be a renegade royal here in the US because you break centuries of the royals who stay out …of politics.
“Not just American politics, all politics.”
It has since been reported that Meghan is expected to make more of these calls.
