Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly considering a foray into the political realm as they gear up for the upcoming elections in the United States.
Recent reports from the Mirror suggest that the couple, known as the Harkles, are aligning themselves with influential figures in Hollywood to caution voters against the looming threat of deepfake manipulation.
Through the Ratchaw Foundation, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, alongside Hollywood power players, are set to launch a campaign aimed at safeguarding voters from election-related misinformation.
The initiative, described as a bipartisan effort, has garnered support from both Hollywood influencers and the Archwell Foundation established by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Together, they will collaborate to educate American voters on potential deepfake tactics that could emerge during the 2024 U.S. presidential election scheduled for November 5th.
Concerns have been raised by experts regarding the use of deepfake technology by malicious state actors and domestic political entities to deceive and influence voters.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s interest in politics is not a recent development.
In the past, the couple faced criticism for their involvement in political matters during the previous U.S. election cycle.
They released a joint statement urging voters to reject hate speech, misinformation, and online negativity.
A spokesperson representing the Sussexes noted that Meghan Markle has often been speculated to venture into U.S. politics due to her strong advocacy for social and political causes globally.
Despite Meghan Markle’s public stance on supporting Joe Biden in the election, she and Prince Harry found themselves excluded from the White House state dinner hosted for Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife Yuko Kishida.
Interestingly, Lauren Sanchez, a known adversary of Meghan, graced the event with her fiancé Jeff Bezos.
Sanchez dazzled in a Rosario lace and satin corset maxi dress from the 2024 resort collection, showcasing an intricately designed ensemble featuring satin and lace elements.
President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden welcomed a distinguished guest list at the state dinner, including Vice President Kamala Harris, Robert De Niro, Tiffany Chen, Bill and Hillary Clinton, among others.
Meghan’s absence at the event was conspicuous, especially considering her vocal support for Joe Biden during the election campaign.
This snub isn’t the first time the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been left off the guest list, as evident from Harry’s exclusion from a reception honoring Invictus Games veterans last December.
In a separate social setting, actor Rob Lowe hosted a birthday celebration near the Olive Garden, attended by notable personalities such as Robert Downey Jr, Zoe Saldana, Amy Poehler, and more.
The absence of Meghan Markle at the event, despite her attempts to connect with these high-profile individuals, underscores the perception that Hollywood and influential circles in the U.S. consider her a former D-list actress who married into royalty.
The narrative suggests that Meghan may fade into obscurity in the future, overshadowed by newer figures capturing public attention.
