Meghan Markle ‘might want to leave America’ as US election leaves duchess ‘very upset’
Meghan Markle “may want to leave America” after she was left “very upset” by the results of the election, that saw Donald Trump become the President elect, according to a royal commentator.
The Sussexes have maintained a relatively low profile during this election, unlike their more vocal stance in 2020 where they urged voters to “reject hate”.
Speaking to GB News, Daily Mail Editor at Large Charlotte Griffiths said: “”Meghan will be really upset to live in America and America with Trump as president.
“She really viscerally disliked him and for many different reasons, and has said that he’s a misogynist live on television before. So she might want to leave America.”
Trump has made several damning statements about the Sussexes in the past, often citing his disapproval for how they treated the late Queen.
When questioned by Nigel Farage on GB News about potential “special privileges” for Harry, Trump responded: “No. We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action.”

The controversy centres around Harry’s admissions of drug use in his memoir “Spare”, released in January 2023.
Griffiths said: “”Put it this way. Harry’s just bought a house in Portugal and it might come in pretty handy in the next few months.
“Donald Trump has said in the past that he wouldn’t protect Harry, that he would be on his own, and that if it was down to me he wouldn’t have any protection.
“The Heritage Foundation tried to expose his form and in the end, he was protected.
“A judge ruled that the form would never be revealed.
“I just wonder whether now Trump is in power, I’m not saying it’s top of his priority list, but eventually that form might be exposed.”
Despite these concerns, Eric Trump recently told MailOnline that his father “doesn’t give a damn” about Prince Harry, suggesting visa issues might not be a priority.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams has also suggested that Trump is unlikely to take drastic action against Prince Harry.
“Harry was extremely foolish to discuss his drug taking in Spare both in interviews and in the memoir,” Fitzwilliams said.
However, he noted that “it is most unlikely that Trump would risk an embarrassing episode involving the Royal family by expelling Harry.”
The expert pointed out that while the Sussexes have maintained a low profile during the election, only “urging Americans to vote but not being explicit as to whom for.”
“At one time it was thought that Meghan might enter politics but we have seen no sign of this,” he added.
