WASHINGTON — 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 Harris ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
Weeks before Democrat Joe Biden’s win over President Donald Trump, a source says, Markle requested a sitdown with California Gov. Gavin Newsom because she “wanted to be considered to be appointed” to the seat held by Harris, which she vacated just before becoming vice president on Jan. 20, 2021. The source added that the discussion was publicly described as a welcome-to-California chat to head off potential inquiries.
It is unclear just how far Markle’s appeal got with Newsom, who appointed California Secretary of State Alex Padilla to replace Harris two days before her swearing-in as Biden’s second-in-command. Padilla subsequently won election to a full six-year term in 2022.
A Sussex source firmly denied that Markle wanted to take over the Harris seat, while a rep for Newsom did not respond to a request for comment.

Markle certainly is full of herself. She has an attitude that she is 'owed'.

Harry and Meghan Didn’t Come Home. They Came Back for What They Could Still Get While Charles Is Still King.
Harry and Meghan did not return to Britain because the country suddenly became safe, kind, or worth belonging to. They came back because the version of themselves they built in California stopped working as well as they needed it to, and the family they spent six years tearing apart is still the only institution that can make them matter at the level they want.
That’s the part the sentimental coverage won’t say.
The speeches, interviews, book and documentaries were not just a cry for help. They were a strategy. Tear down the royals’ moral standing. Make Britain the villain. Sell leaving as an act of courage. Then make money from the fallout.
And it worked for a while. Deals get signed when the wound is fresh. It gets a lot harder when the story is old and people have already heard it over and over again.
So now they’re back, with the one reason nobody is supposed to question: the children.
School in the Cotswolds. Roots. Family. Grandfather. It’s the perfect shield. Two school-age children living in Britain changes the whole conversation around security, residency and whether they really “left” for good.
You don’t put your children into a country you spent years describing as racist and unsafe unless something has changed.
The calculation changed.
And living in Britain as private, non-working royals isn’t some great act of humility. It looks an awful lot like the arrangement they wanted back in 2020 and couldn’t get on their terms.
Keep the commercial freedom. Keep the titles. Live near the King. Use the charities, the royal connections, the surname and the calendar when it suits you. Stay close enough to the institution to benefit from the legitimacy it gives you, but far enough away that you don’t actually have to serve it.
Exile was the pressure tactic.
Return is the harvest.
And then there’s William.
Charles is the route in. William is the brick wall.
Harry and Meghan know William isn’t going to entertain them, and they know he will eventually be the one calling the shots. So while they can’t get what they want from William, they can still try to get whatever they can from Charles: access, goodwill, family occasions, royal connections, legitimacy, and whatever else comes with being close to the King and his grandchildren.
That’s why the grandchildren matter so much.
Charles can be softened by his grandchildren and a late phone call. William is a completely different problem.
A Sussex household back in Britain, in the same countryside, the same social circles and the same media storm as the future King isn’t exactly family healing. It’s a permanent complication sitting next to the heir.
And it puts William in an awkward position. If he draws a hard line, he looks cold and unforgiving. If he doesn’t, Harry and Meghan get back into the royal orbit without having to accept any of the responsibility that comes with it.
They don’t need William to welcome them back.
They just need Charles to give them enough access to keep the door open.
That isn’t reconciliation.
It’s leverage.
And let’s not pretend the British public are being offered an apology. They’re being offered royal drama again.
Outrage still gets attention. Security rows still get attention. Even speculation about which school gate they’ll be seen at gets attention.
They already proved they can live off the feud.
This isn’t reconciliation.
It’s occupancy.
They spent years setting fire to the house so they could negotiate their way back into a wing of it, with the children as the reason nobody is supposed to say what’s actually happening.
Call it what it is.
They didn’t come home.
They came to collect.
