Meghan Markle is encouraging her husband Prince Harry to become a more influential global voice, with the Duchess of Sussex said to believe her husband has the profile and connections to make an impact on the international stage.
According to a new claim, Meghan wants the Duke of Sussex to think beyond traditional charitable appearances and take a more prominent role in important global conversations.
The Duchess reportedly believes Harry has the potential to influence world leaders and challenge political decisions on issues close to his heart.
The father of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet has already started speaking out on matters that extend beyond traditional royal engagements.
His recent appearance at the European Parliament in Brussels offered an example, as he delivered a keynote speech calling for stronger online protections for children.
An insider suggested that Harry becoming more involved in political discussions could create an uncomfortable situation for the Royal Family.
“It would be a shock for the Palace if Harry really steps into politics,” the source claimed.
They added: “King Charles and Prince William will never want Harry to join politics, because they still consider him a member of the royal family.”
A royal commentator also suggested that Meghan wants her husband to take a more ambitious approach to his public role.
“Meghan wants Harry to think BIGGER. She doesn’t want him cutting ribbons and making speeches at charity events. She wants him influencing presidents, challenging politicians and becoming a global powerhouse,” the commentator claimed.
Rob Shuter, citing another insider, also suggested that Meghan does not agree with the traditional expectation that members of the Royal Family should remain politically neutral.
“Meghan thinks the monarchy’s rules are ridiculous. She can’t understand why the royals are expected to stay out of politics. She thinks Harry should be free to speak his mind — and she loves the idea of him challenging the institution that once silenced him,” the source claimed.
Harry stepped back from his position as a senior working royal in 2020 and has since built an independent life in the United States with Meghan and their children.
His recent advocacy work has increasingly focused on issues such as online safety, mental health and the protection of vulnerable young people.
However, there has been no official confirmation that Harry intends to pursue a political career or that Meghan is actively encouraging him to enter politics.
For now, the claims point towards a possible ambition for Harry to expand his influence beyond charitable work, although any future political involvement would raise important questions about his public role and the expectations surrounding the Royal Family.
