Prince Harry and Meghan are marking their presence into politics felt with their latest move, having just launched a campaign to tackle election misinformation. Meghan has been linked to political involvement for a while now.
The hype heightened when the couple hired Obama’s PR whiz and spoke out about the US election in 2020. And remember when feminist activist Gloria Steinem revealed about Meghan cold-calling voters with her? Now, she’s back again with a new campaign!
Prince Harry: The Sussexes Wade Into Politics Ahead of 2024 Elections
Prince Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Foundation is launching this campaign against election misinformation in the upcoming US elections. The couple joined forces with Hollywood big shots and others to prevent the use of deepfake tech and media manipulation.
Likewise, software giants like Google, Meta, and OpenAI are all jumping in to fight deceptive AI election content. Moreover, Jesse Dyan also produced adverts to raise awareness about the issue.
Guess who’s “helping brainstorm new content?” Yep, Prince Harry and Meghan’s Archewell organisation. Since moving across the pond, the Sussexes have been quite vocal about their political views. Folks have been gossiping about Meghan stepping into the political arena herself. Back in 2020, the royal couple released a video urging everyone to register and reject misinformation.
Furthermore, Prince Harry clarified he couldn’t vote due to his British citizenship. He even confessed to having never voted in the UK either—royals tend to stay out of politics there. The duo also hired Miranda Barbot, the PR mastermind who helped Obama win re-election, to revamp their image. By the way, Meghan has been very active in fighting causes since she was a kid. She once wrote to companies about sexist ads and protested against the Gulf War at just ten years old.
Throughout her acting journey, she has been advocating strongly for feminism. She even became a UN Women’s Advocate for Women’s Political Participation and Leadership in 2015. It will be interesting to see how this new campaign plays out for everyone! Until then, stay glued to TV Season & Spoilers to catch the latest tea on Prince Harry updates!
