It highlights their unsuccessful attempts to establish a Hollywood career,including deals with Spotify and Netflix,which have been criticized and reported to be less than triumphant. It also covers their ambitions in US politics, notably Meghan\u2019s alleged interest in obtaining a Senate seat previously held by Kamala Harris, and their efforts to meet with president Biden and stay at Blair House, which were reportedly rejected. Despite denying some reports, there is evidence of their political aspirations and interference, such as requesting a meeting with Biden and attempting to influence US elections. The article criticizes their behavior, suggesting they seek fame and influence beyond their royal roles, and implies that their efforts are viewed as grifting and delusional, especially concerning their aims for political power. Ultimately,it portrays the Sussexes as seeking prominence through various controversial and unsuccessful attempts in the US media and politics.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Foreign influence in U.S. politics.

Apparently, their move to Hollywood to become \u201cworking royals\u201d (translation: Hollywood stars) didn\u2019t quite pan out.<\/p>\n<p>Their podcasting deal with Spotify was bought out, with one executive publicly calling the couple \u201cthe f***ing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/prince-harry-meghan-mocked-grifters-executive-spotify\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">grifters<\/a>,\u201d and their Netflix deal was altered to a \u201cfirst look arrangement\u201d last year, entertainment outlet <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/08\/prince-harry-meghan-markle-moving-to-uk-1237045751\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Deadline<\/a> reported. (This is Hollywood lingo for \u201cyou don\u2019t have a guaranteed show anymore; we\u2019ll call you if you have a good idea, but don\u2019t wait by the phone.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>The move came after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ratings-duchess-meghans-show-catastrophic-honestly-didnt-know-rating-numbers-went-low\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the ratings<\/a> for the second season of \u201cWith Love, Meghan\u201d weren\u2019t even in the top 300 shows of 2025, coming in behind a low-budget kids show called \u201cGrizzly and the Lemmings\u201d and a 2007 season of \u201cGossip Girl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But enough about the dysfunctional power couple\u2019s delusions of Hollywood stardom. Let\u2019s talk about their delusions of political stardom, which the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/08\/20\/us-news\/true-scale-of-meghan-and-harrys-us-political-plans-revealed-from-request-for-biden-oval-office-meeting-to-eyeing-senate-seat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a> is confirming after years of rumors.<\/p>\n<p>From the Post:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Delusional Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sought US political clout far beyond the dreams of any British royal since King George III, The Post has learned, with the Duchess of Sussex angling to take over the Senate seat held by Kamala Harrisahead of the 2020 presidential election.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Weeks before Democrat Joe Biden\u2019s win over President Donald Trump, a source says, Markle requested a sit-down with California Gov. Gavin Newsom because she \u201cwanted to be considered to be appointed\u201d to the seat held by Harris, which she vacated just before becoming vice president on Jan. 20, 2021.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The source added that the discussion was publicly described as a welcome-to-California chat to head off potential inquiries. \u2026 It is unclear just how far Markle\u2019s appeal got with Newsom, who appointed California Secretary of State Alex Padilla to replace Harris two days before her swearing-in as Biden\u2019s second-in-command.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s worth noting that the Sussexes are denying the report, although Newsom himself is just shutting up about it. There was an \u201cintroductory meeting\u201d between Newsom and the couple in October 2020, however. My assumption that it was not a discussion regarding whether the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/despite-backlash-winery-scandal-gov-newsom-makes-mockery-covid-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">French Laundry<\/a> was a good restaurant to go to if you didn\u2019t like dining with masks on.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that while Markle is a U.S. citizen, Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the Constitution states that \u201cno Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust\u2026 shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And even if you were to get around that, it\u2019s not like we were going to get King Charles III as a lawmaker. Heck, we weren\u2019t even getting Sen. Princess Margaret, who was a pretty get-down kind of royal. (I\u2019m not a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/deep-dive-prince-andrews-sordid-belated-fall-everything-wrong-british-royals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fan of the Windsors<\/a>, but any member of the fam who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/offbeat\/2025\/07\/28\/tom-lehrer-satirist-mathematician-inventor-of-jello-shot\/787006\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">publicly declares<\/a> her appreciation for the music of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yhuMLpdnOjY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tom Lehrer<\/a> gets a pass in my book.)<\/p>\n<p>No, we were apparently poised to get Sen. Markle, D-Delulu. Even Gavin Newsom knew enough to stay away from that, and considering the things that Gavin Newsom <em>doesn\u2019t<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/viral-clip-goes-sour-reporter-asks-newsoms-dyslexia-diagnosis-gets-typical-response-govs-team\/\">know enough to stay away from<\/a>, you have to admit that sounds really bad.<\/p>\n<p>Nor, the New York Post reported, was it \u201cthe only time Harry and Meghan dipped their toes into US politics while trying to achieve the same prominence they enjoyed in the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>In late 2021, the couple requested an Oval Office meeting with Biden, as well as accommodations at nearby Blair House \u2014 a perk reserved for foreign leaders on state visits, multiple sources say.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>White House staff quickly rejected the idea, with one source noting the spectacle of Harry and Meghan sitting down with the leader of the free world \u201cwould have caused a major diplomatic kerfuffle\u201d with 20 Downing Street and the British Royal Family.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Another source, a former Biden aide, said the president and first lady Jill Biden \u2014 longstanding admirers of Queen Elizabeth II \u2014 \u201cdidn\u2019t want to get into a family squabble\u201d by hosting the rogue royals.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meghan even went so far as to send a box of lemons to be delivered to then-First Lady Jill Biden to White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, something Psaki mentioned in her 2024 memoir.<\/p>\n<p>After the request to stay at Blair House, they then tried to hitch a ride on Air Force One back from the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II but were denied; the report stated that while the Bidens were sympathetic to Harry because of the loss of his mother in a car crash \u2014 Biden\u2019s first wife and infant daughter were killed in a 1972 car accident \u2014 they \u201cwore out their welcome with the Biden administration\u201d pretty quickly. Yeah, try to hitchhike on Air Force One and that\u2019ll happen.<\/p>\n<p>This didn\u2019t stop Harry and Meghan from trying to inject themselves into American politics, however, giving a September 2020 video interview to Time in which they said Americans needed to vote to \u201creject hate speech.\u201d (Gosh, wonder who they thought was spreading <em>that<\/em>?) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/viewers-catch-gross-sight-meghan-markles-fridge-proves-either-phony-super-unsanitary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Markle<\/a> also lobbied lawmakers for federally mandated family leave back in 2021, albeit with little success.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, the New York Post reported, \u201cthe couple\u2019s attempt to become kingmakers fizzled out.\u201d Which makes sense, given that it\u2019s easier to make it on Spotify or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/netflix-executives-reportedly-not-happy-prince-harry-duchess-meghans-new-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Netflix<\/a> and the same thing happened there. Once upon a time, it was hard to conceive of anything more embarrassing to the modern Crown than King Charles. Then Harry met Meghan and that all changed.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it\u2019s a great irony that the same people who worry about foreign interference in our elections are totally chill about the fact that these two grifters quite openly tried to inject themselves into the process repeatedly and at much higher levels than we previously thought. Ah well. Bon voyage, and enjoy being back in Blighty. Please stay there, Mr. and Mrs. Sussex.
