Meghan Markle denies claims that she wanted to become a U.S. senator and that she lobbied for an appointment after meeting with a top Democratic figure. The claim is linked to a previous meeting involving her and Prince Harry with California Governor Gavin Newsom.
According to a memorandum previously associated with Newsom’s office, Newsom meets Harry and Meghan in an “introductory meeting” on October 19, 2020. The Daily Mail reports on Meghan’s denial in response to the wider allegation that the meeting was connected to political ambitions rather than routine discussion.
The outlets’ focus centers on interpreting the purpose of the 2020 meeting: one side frames it as part of lobbying for a potential Senate role, while Meghan denies the underlying premise. The available reporting relies on the referenced description of the meeting from Newsom’s office, alongside Meghan’s rebuttal to the claim about seeking a Senate position.
