Meghan Markle Officially Becomes First British Royal To Vote in The American Election

Meghan Markle has made history once again by becoming the first member of the British royal family to vote in an American election.

The 39-year-old Duchess of Sussex is American born and can make her voice heard through her vote, unlike her husband, Prince Harry. Their son, Archie, will also be able to vote as he has dual citizenship in America and England.

Meghan is the only known member of the British royal family to vote in the election, as its been unknown if the Duchess of Windsor, Wallis Simpson, ever did.

Earlier this year, Meghan got involved in the election, calling on her fans to make their own voices heard at the polls tonight (November 3).

She even cold-called American citizens about their rights to vote and educated them on protocols, according to Gloria Steinem.
