According to British media, Meghan Markle may be vying for a spot in the U.S. Senate to replace the late Dianne Feinstein, who died on Friday. Insiders report that the Duchess of Sussex has been strengthening her political connections for some time now.

Meghan Markle regularly engages in social issues. She also believes that women can change the world, so it should not surprise anyone that the foreign media is abuzz with rumors about the Duchess of Sussex entering politics.

According to "The Mail on Sunday" informant, Meghan Markle has long shown her interest in politics, and after settling in California with Prince Harry, the 42-year-old has reportedly established contacts within the Democratic Party.

Gloria introduced Meghan to key people in the party - a source revealed.

Meghan is more interested in politics than anything else. She believes that's where her strength lies, but she had to focus on making money - he added.

Is Meghan Markle a candidate for the US Senate?

The death of 90-year-old Dianne Feinstein has meant that California Governor Gavin Newsom needs someone to replace the late senator for the next 13 months, until the time of the next parliamentary elections, which will take place in November 2024. According to reports from foreign media, it is not ruled out that Meghan Markle might become the senator of California for the next 13 months.

"Meghan's candidacy is definitely not certain, but in the face of the madness that is currently American politics, it's not impossible. More crazy things have happened," — a source close to the governor told "Mail on Sunday".

According to the source "The Mail on Sunday", Gavin Newsom declared that in the event of Feinstein's resignation, he would appoint a black woman to the Senate. An additional problem is the fact that the governor cannot choose any of the candidates who will be running for a place in the senate in the upcoming elections.

The problem he is facing now is that all the top candidates have already announced that they will be running for Feinstein's seat in November 2024, which is in the next elections — states the source

Governor Newsom cannot currently choose any of these candidates for the position, as it would be perceived as a huge and very unfair advantage — adds a person from the governor's entourage.

As a person from the governor's circle informs, the candidate for Feinstein's deputy would have to agree not to oppose any of the experienced politicians for 13 months, who have already announced their candidacies in the parliamentary elections.

There aren't too many women who meet these requirements. That's why there's so much talk about Meghan — sums up the informant.

Do you think she would find herself in the role of a U.S. Senator?
