Lauren Sanchez dealt a blow to Meghan Markle's pride when she, along with Prince Harry, found themselves excluded from the guest list for the White House State Dinner.
Uninvited, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reportedly set their sights on a foray into American politics, gearing up for the upcoming elections. According to reports from The Mirror, the couple is poised to collaborate with influential figures in Hollywood to address the looming threat of deep fake technology in elections.
Harnessing the resources of the Archewell Foundation, they aim to launch a campaign safeguarding voters against the spread of misinformation during elections. Described as a bipartisan initiative, this coalition boasts support from prominent figures in Hollywood, aligning with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Archewell Foundation. Together, they are dedicated to empowering U.S. voters to navigate the potential onslaught of deep fake manipulation anticipated in the lead-up to the 2024 US presidential election, scheduled for November 5th.
This initiative follows warnings from experts regarding the nefarious use of deep fake techniques by malicious state actors and domestic political operatives to manipulate voters. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's involvement underscores their shared interest in political engagement, despite facing criticism for their previous forays into the political arena during the last U.S. election campaign. Their joint efforts, including the release of a video urging voters to reject hate speech and misinformation, highlight their commitment to civic responsibility.
Furthermore, Meghan Markle's inclination towards social and political issues has often sparked speculation about her potential entry into U.S. politics. However, despite her aspirations, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry found themselves excluded from the White House State Dinner, while Lauren Sanchez, perceived as a rival of Meghan's, was among the esteemed guests in attendance.
Sanchez, accompanied by her fiancé Jeff Bezos, graced the event in an elegant ensemble from the 2024 Resort collection, exuding sophistication and style. The presence of high-profile guests, including Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, underscored the significance of the occasion, hosted by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, marking their fifth state dinner since assuming office in January 2021.
Meghan Markle's vocal support for Joe Biden during the election, albeit not financial, was met with apparent indifference from the Bidens, as evidenced by their exclusion from the event. This snub isn't unprecedented for the couple, with Prince Harry having previously faced exclusion from Joe Biden's reception for Invictus Games veterans in December. The event, attended by notable billionaire CEOs, presented an opportune setting for networking, yet Meghan's absence was conspicuous.
Additionally, despite her attempts to align herself with influential figures in Hollywood, including attending a birthday party alongside A-list celebrities like Robert Downey Jr., Zoe Saldana, and Jennifer Aniston, Meghan Markle's status as a former actress seemed to overshadow her aspirations for higher social standing. This apparent dismissal by both Hollywood and U.S. power players serves as a reminder of the challenges Meghan Markle faces in navigating her transition from actress to royal to potential political figure.
