Shameless Flip Side: Meghan Markle Advised to Rethink Using Duchess of Sussex Title in US

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been cautioned against using her royal title in the United States following her recent lobbying efforts.

The 40-year-old reached out to Republican Senators Shelley Moore Capito and Susan Collins on their private phone numbers to seek support for paid parental leave and a climate policy.

Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand provided Markle with the contact information and expressed her intention to collaborate on long-term paid leave initiatives.

However, royal expert Jonathan Sacerdotty has advised Markle to reconsider utilizing her title in this manner.

In an interview with Express.co.uk, Mr. Sacerdotty expressed his concern, stating, “I think that there's a sense that Meghan has increasing ambitions but maybe more as an activist than as an actual politician.

I think that would be a very bold step to go and do that, especially if she constantly reminds everyone that she's the Duchess of Sussex.”

He acknowledged Markle's right to use her title but suggested that involving herself further in American politics might require careful consideration due to potential associations between the royal family and political causes.

On the other hand, royal commentator Hillary Fordwich criticized Markle's lobbying efforts, emphasizing that she holds no elected position.

Speaking to News Nation, Fordwich questioned, “We didn't elect Meghan Markle.

She's not elected.”

Fordwich also revealed that Markle intends to make additional phone calls to senators, as she has been given more contact information.

Fordwich raised concerns about Markle's involvement in determining the duration of paid family leave, asserting that it should be a decision made by Americans themselves.

According to Access Hollywood, Markle's outreach to senators is not limited to just these two individuals.

Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand from New York provided Markle with the contact details of other senators as well.

Markle aims to contribute to a working group focused on long-term paid leave.

While the outcome may not be immediate, Markle will be part of a collective effort with fellow women dedicated to addressing this issue.

In light of the ongoing drama between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the royal family, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield has suggested that the couple consider relinquishing their titles.

Schofield believes that distancing themselves from the controversies would be beneficial, especially after their decision to relocate to the US for a quieter life.

The couple has been entangled in various reported disputes, including disagreements between Markle and Kate Middleton over flower girl dresses, as well as addressing allegations of racism within the royal institution.

Schofield further commented that Harry and Markle often appear vengeful and competitive, indicating that their public relations strategy might need further maturation.

As Meghan Markle continues to navigate her role in the public eye, the question remains whether she will heed the advice to reconsider her use of the Duchess of Sussex title in her political endeavors.

With the potential for increased involvement in American politics, Markle must carefully balance her ambitions while preserving ties to the royal family.

Only time will tell how she chooses to move forward and the impact it will have on her reputation and public perception.
