Meghan Markle voted early by mail in 2020 election

Meghan Markle voted early by mail in the 2020 presidential election, Page Six is told.

As we revealed, the Duchess of Sussex has set up home in a $14.5 million mansion in Montecito, Calif., with husband Prince Harry and baby son Archie.

And after spending the past few months urging her fellow Americans to vote, Markle cast her vote early, sources said.

A source told us: “Meghan was an American long before she was a royal. She wouldn’t miss voting in this election no matter where she was living.”

It’s believed to be the first time a modern royal has voted in an election.

Although Wallis Simpson — whose relationship with King Edward VIII led to him abdicating the throne in 1936 — was American, it’s not known if she ever voted in an American election.

During an appearance on an ABC special to mark the annual Time100 issue in September, Markle said: “Every four years, we’re told, ‘This is the most important election of our lifetime.’ But this one is. When we vote, our values are put into action, and our voices are heard.”

Her husband, Harry, said he has not voted in any election. As a member of the royal family, he is supposed to stay out of political affairs.

“Many of you may not know that I haven’t been able to vote in the UK my entire life,” he said.

In the Time100 special, however, Harry came under fire for his comments as he said: “As we approach this November, it’s vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity.

“What we consume, what we are exposed to, and what we engage with online, has a real effect on all of us.”

Markle and Harry will be in the States for the holidays. They were set to return to the UK ahead of Markle’s privacy trial against the Mail on Sunday, but her legal team has asked for a nine-month extension on “confidential grounds.”

A rep for the Sussexes declined to comment.
