Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, writer and broadcaster Robert Jobson suggested that Meghan would not be cut out for politics.
During an exclusive conversation with our Royal Editor, Matt Wilkinson, Jobson spoke about politics being a "dirty game".
And the royal expert did not hold back when asked how he thought Meghan would fare in the world of American politics after meeting with Vice President Francia Marquez in Colombia.
Pondering the hypothetical situation, Jobson said: "I think if she got involved in American politics with the title of the Duchess of Sussex she would be eaten alive.

"She might think she's got what it takes to make it but the Democrats would run a mile."
Jobson went on to claim that he doesn't believe Meghan has the "clout or the background" to be a "serious politician".
He continued: "I just think it's a dirty game and if she thinks she's been badly treated by the British press, it will be an awful lot worse if you enter the world of politics in America."
Despite the claims, it is understood that Meghan has no political ambitions.

Her representatives said that the Duchess has "no interest" in politics.
During the exclusive chat, Jobson went on to discuss what Harry and Meghan have been doing and how it might play out in the future.
The royal expert said that the couple have had their setbacks with the loss of their CEO and inability to retain staff.
And he claims that the Sussexes should "build from the bottom" instead of focusing on "grand moments".

Jobson said: "Just do things that are authentic, and just do things that are real rather then staged with loads of outfit changes.
"I think they need to work out what they want to do. They don't come across as particularly authentic."
He added: "I think they could just do some real work in America maybe and people will start to believe you."
It comes as Meghan and Harry lost their chief-of-staff, Josh Kettler, just days before the couple's Colombia trip.
Kettler has left his role as the couple's fixer after only three months.
The veteran PR supremo had reportedly been brought in to "guide Harry through his next phase".
But the staff member stepped down after three months in the role in what Team Sussex insisted was a “mutual decision.”
And a friend of Prince Harry has claimed that he "desperately wants to be admired" like William and Kate and misses his home.
One close friend, who claims to still receive messages from Harry, has revealed the Prince, who used to be so happy-go-lucky, is missing Britain.
As reported by The Times, an old pal of the former royal claimed he'd rather be in the UK with "everyone loving him" as Prince William and Princess Kate are.
The pal told the outlet: “He has ended up isolated from his family and most of his old mates.
“He’s an angry boy. Things haven’t turned out how he wanted.

“Anyone who knows him feels he’d rather be top of the pops here with everyone loving him, as they do with William and Kate.”
It comes after Prince William reportedly said he 'does not want Harry at his coronation'.
What is Meghan and Harry’s Archewell Foundation charity?
AFTER stepping back as senior royals, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry launched their own non-profit foundation, Archewell.
The non-profit aims to offer "classes, lectures, seminars, conferences, workshops, and retreats on a variety of topics," run a mentoring scheme, or conduct and host "events and exhibitions for cultural, sporting, health, mental health and entertainment purposes.”
The website launched on New Years Eve 2020 and couple included sweet black-and-white photos of them with their mothers as they called for "compassion" in an open letter.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed Arche, the Greek word meaning source of action, was also the inspiration behind the name of their son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.
"We connected to this concept for the charitable organisation we hoped to build one day, and it became the inspiration for our son's name," they told The Daily Telegraph. "To do something of meaning, to do something that matters.
"Archewell is a name that combines an ancient word for strength and action, and another that evokes the deep resources we each must draw upon.”
