Meghan Markle going "head to head" with Donald Trump in the 2024 US presidential race would be "one to watch", according to a royal commentator. Suggestions that the
Duchess of Sussex could successfully run as the Democratic Party's candidate have "ramped up" in the wake of her candid interview with Oprah Winfrey. Daily Telegraph Royal
Editor Camilla Tominey discussed the former working royal's "political ambitions" on ITV This Morning. She told viewers: "Oh my goodness me, I don't even want to
imagine a celebrity deathmatch between Trump and Meghan. "I think I know who'd win actually, and I don't think it's the Donald. "Wouldn't it be great, just for
copy, journalistically, to see them both go head-to-head in 2024? "I love that this idea of Meghan as the next President has really ramped up now in the aftermath of the Oprah
interview." READ MORE: 'NOTHING OFF LIMITS' MEGHAN MARKLE'S DETAILED ROYAL DIARY SPARKS FEARS Ms Tominey continued: "It had always been suggested that she had
political ambitions. "2024 might be a little too soon when you consider that she's pregnant with her second child. "Also she might have family matters closer to hand.
"But, yes, that is certainly a presidential race I want to watch." Joe Biden's Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, also commented in the aftermath on the interview on the current US
President's behalf. She said: “For anyone to come forward and speak about their own struggles with mental health and tell their own personal story, that takes courage. And that’s
certainly something the president believes. “And let me just reiterate that we have a strong and abiding relationship with the British people and a special partnership with the government of
the United Kingdom on a range of issues. And that will continue.” Additionally, former First Lady Michelle Obama offered a sympathetic view, telling NBC News: "I feel like that was
heartbreaking to hear, that she felt like she was in her own family - her own family thought differently of her. "As I said before, race isn't a new construct in this world for
people of colour, and so it wasn't a complete surprise to hear her feelings and to have them articulated."
