A top PR executive has tipped Meghan to run for US president.

Mark Borkowski, a brand a PR consultant, told GB News: "What matters is the younger audience, people who emphasise with arguments about mental health and diversity. It's very much where they've pitched their wagon.


"We're going to see a very big competing brand, but the UK isn't where they're going to earn the type of money they need.

"It's a very ambitious partnership. I've often said it and people often think I'm joking, but who wouldn't bet against Meghan Markle running for president in years to come?"

It comes as the royal couple bought the “Lilibet Diana” and “Lili Diana” internet domain - before their daughter’s name was approved by the Queen.

The public announcement of Lilibet Diana's birth came two days later.

Harry insisted he spoke to the Queen about the name prior to the announcement being made public, but no specific information was given on when that was actually said.

In a statement given to The Telegraph, a spokesperson for couple said: "As is often customary with public figures, a significant number of domains of any potential names that were considered were purchased... to protect against the exploitation of the name once it was later chosen and shared."

Harry and Meghan had clashed with the BBC earlier this month over the naming of their daughter.

The couples lawyers have written to the corporation after a BBC story claimed the Queen had not been asked about naming their baby Lilibet, which was the monarch’s childhood family nickname.

It has been widely reported that Harry and Meghan did consult with the Queen before the name of their baby, who was born in California, was announced.

But an article on the BBC’s website claimed palace sources had said the Queen was not asked by the duke and duchess about naming their daughter Lilibet.

A spokeswoman for the couple said their daughter’s name was mentioned in a conversation with the Queen.

She said: “The duke spoke with his family in advance of the announcement, in fact his grandmother was the first family member he called.

“During that conversation, he shared their hope of naming their daughter Lilibet in her honour. Had she not been supportive, they would not have used the name.”

The Times newspaper reported the couple’s lawyers Schillings have sent a letter to the BBC warning the story is “false and defamatory”.

The story by one of the BBC’s royal correspondents remains on the corporation’s website. Buckingham Palace has declined to comment.
