Meghan Markle revealed whether or not she wants a career in politics this week when she appeared on her friend’s podcast. On Monday, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, appeared on The Jamie Kern Lima Show, where she addressed a number of topics.

As well as speaking about her marriage to Prince Harry, 40, their children, and their life in California, Meghan also addressed whether she would want to run for office. This is because the Duchess once expressed political interest before marrying into the Royal Family, and has made some political comments since quitting life as a senior royal in 2020 too. When asked directly in the podcast interview if she would ever consider running for office, Meghan laughed and replied, "No."

Her friend and podcast host Jamie then asked: “Never?" Meghan said: “Never. Oh god, I mean, you can say never say never, but no," adding in a decisive five-word comment: "I'm not interested in that.”

While Meghan and Harry didn’t make it clear what their political views were during the US Presidential election last year, they had previously made political comments in 2020 ahead of the elections in America.

This was when they showed discreet support for Joe Biden, who later became President. Although they did not say they were supporting Biden, the comments they made are believed to have been against Donald Trump, who lost the 2020 election but won the 2024 election.

At a TIME 100 special hosted by US TV broadcaster ABC in 2020 before the US election, Meghan said: “Every four years, we're told: 'This is the most important election of our lifetime'. But this one is. When we vote, our values are put into action, and our voices are heard.”

Prince Harry then said: “As we approach this November, it's vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity.”

The couple did not show support for one party over another ahead of the US election in 2024, however they did reiterate the importance of voting.

Harry and Meghan released a statement through their Archewell Foundation read: "Voting is not just a right; it’s a fundamental way to influence the fate of our communities. At The Archewell Foundation, we recognise that civic engagement, no matter one’s political party, is at the heart of a more just and equitable world.

“By participating in initiatives like this, we aim to amplify the message that every voice matters. Together, let’s make sure every eligible voter is informed and empowered to participate in shaping America’s future."
