Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly contemplating a bid for the Senate seat left vacant by the passing of California Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein.
The speculation arises following Feinstein’s death at her Washington, D.C., residence on Friday. She was 90 years old.
According to Daily Mail, prominent California Democrat donors and politicians expressed interest when news of Markle’s potential candidacy for the vacant seat emerged.
After returning to her hometown of Los Angeles with her husband, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, in 2020, the Duchess has been actively advocating for various causes, including parental paid leave and gun safety organizations like Moms Demand Action.
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) holds the responsibility of selecting Feinstein’s replacement for the remaining 13 months of her term.
A close associate of Newsom, who is a major California donor, stated that Markle’s eligibility has not been ruled out.
“Meghan is definitely a long-shot, but in the craziness that is U.S. politics these days, it’s not an impossibility. Crazier things have happened,” the anonymous source said.
This is not the first time Governor Newsom has had to fill a vacant Senate seat. He did so in 2020 after Kamala Harris was elected Vice President.
During that time, the Daily Mail reported Markle’s interest in Harris’ open seat and her efforts to network within progressive circles.
Reports suggest that Markle’s ultimate goal is to run for president.

During that time, the Daily Mail reported Markle’s interest in pursuing a political career, and now it seems that the opportunity may present itself with the open Senate seat.
Markle’s potential run for the Senate would undoubtedly attract significant attention and scrutiny, given her high-profile background as a member of the British royal family and her marriage to Prince Harry.
If she decides to enter the race, Markle will have to navigate the complex world of American politics and win over voters in California. Her charisma and advocacy work may work in her favor, but only time will tell if she can make a successful transition into the political arena.
The California Senate seat is highly sought after, and the competition for the position is likely to be fierce. Markle would face formidable opponents from both major parties, as well as other independent candidates.
While her chances may be seen as slim, Markle’s potential bid for the Senate is a testament to the changing landscape of American politics. Celebrities have increasingly shown interest in political positions, using their fame and influence to bring attention to important issues and effect change.
