Can Harry and Meghan succeed in reintroducing royalty into


US politics? », Sunday 14 November 2021

« Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, appear to have
embarked on a new course in recent weeks as they seek to define their lives in America by
adding political issues and influence into their established interests of being royal
humanitarians embracing US celebrity norms of wealth, fame and talkshows.
First it was Meghan, cold-calling two Republican US senators – West Virginia’s Shelley
Moore Capito and Susan Collins of Maine – to urge them to support paid family leave
provisions in Joe Biden’s languishing Build Back Better legislation.

“She called me on my private line and she introduced herself as the Duchess of Sussex,
which is kind of ironic,” Collins told Politico. Collins added – perhaps a little
disappointingly for fans of the royals – that she herself was “more interested in what the
people of Maine are telling me” than members of British royalty.
Meghan then appeared at a New York Times forum to press the issue. “This is one of those
issues that is not red or blue,” she said, underscoring an earlier Paid Leave for All letter in
which she stressed that she was “not an elected official, and I’m not a politician”. She was,
she wrote, “an engaged citizen and a parent”. »
