The Duke and Duchess moved to California just before the United States-Canada border closed to travel in the spring of 2020 and purchased a $14 million mansion outside of Los Angeles late last year, making them two of Newsom\u2019s constituents.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting does strike a strange note, Fox News reports, given that Queen Elizabeth and other members of the royal family are about to undertake a one-year review of the deal that saw Harry and Meghan abandon their royal posts \u2014 a deal that reportedly barred the pair from being overtly political. Under the terms of the deal, the Duke and Duchess could lose their titles if they wade into American party politics.<\/p>\n<p>The pair are already under scrutiny for a video they made for \u201cTime 100\u201d that saw Meghan describe \u201cthe battle between Donald Trump and Joe Biden as \u2018the most important election of our lifetime,&#8217;\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/californias-newsom-met-online-with-harry-meghan-just-before-us-election\">according to Fox News<\/a> \u2014 commentary that some experts believe veered too close to a public political opinion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we vote, our values are put into action and our voices are heard,\u201d Meghan said. \u201cYour voice is a reminder that you matter. Because you do. And you deserve to be heard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prince Harry, who is, of course, not an American citizen and ineligible to vote, echoed his wife\u2019s sentiments, adding commentary that seemed to echo that of Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we approach this November, it\u2019s vital we reject hate speech, misinformation, and online negativity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Those comments, Fox News says, were considered by Buckingham Palace to be \u201ccrossing a line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both The Sun and Fox News noted that the meeting came around the time Newsom was being tasked with teeing up a replacement for then-Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA), who resigned her position once she was elected Vice President. Though the timing is strange, it does not appear Meghan Markle was ever on the shortlist to replace Harris. That job went, instead, to California Secretary of State Alex Padilla.<\/p>\n<p>Prince Harry is expected to return to the United Kingdom this month to sit down with his grandmother, the Queen, as well as his father, Prince Charles, and his brother, Prince William, to discuss whether the \u201cMegxit\u201d plan is working out and to pave a path forward for the Duke and Duchess\u2019 more \u201cprogressive\u201d royal role. By all accounts, the separation has not gone as planned; although the pair inked some income-generating deals, the pandemic has largely restricted their ability to earn money as planned, through speeches and appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Gov.
