Meghan Markle just made royal history by voting in the US Election

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their royal family roles this year after months of discussions.

The Sussex couple lost their HRH titles and their Sussex Royal brand and relocated to California, to prioritise their family of three and mental health over their former roles.

As former working royals, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex used to have their hands full with charity work, official tours and royal meetings. Now however, they will not act on behalf of the royal family.

Since their resignation, there has understandably been speculation around what this actually means and what the Sussex couple will do next, with rumours that they could be venturing into politics.

Yes, after years of being unable to voice their political opinions during their time in the royal family, Meghan and Harry are now making their voices heard, speaking out, encouraging others to vote.

And this week, Meghan Markle did a royal first, casting her vote in the US Election, that sees former Vice President Joe Biden take on current President Donald Trump.

Royal family members are unable to vote, something Prince Harry opened up about ahead of the US Election to to impress upon the public how important it is to have your say.

‘This election I am not able to vote in the U.S. But many of you may not know that I haven’t been able to vote in the U.K. my entire life,’ he announced in the video. ‘As we approach this November, it’s vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation, and online negativity.’

He continued: ‘When the bad outweighs the good, for many, whether we realize it or not, it erodes our ability to have compassion and our ability to put ourself in someone else’s shoes. Because when one person buys into negativity online, the effects are felt exponentially. It’s time to not only reflect, but act.’

This is something that Donald Trump was reportedly not too happy about.

When asked his thoughts on the video, Donald Trump unsurprisingly voiced his annoyance, saying of Meghan: ‘I’m not a fan of hers, and I would say this - and she probably has heard that - but I wish a lot of luck to Harry, cause he’s gonna need it.’

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not responded, but we doubt they're losing sleep over it!
