A royal expert has reflected on Meghan Markle’s meeting with Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, and claimed it was no accidental celebrity sighting.

Citing the royal insiders, Rob Shuter has claimed that Meghan’s meeting with Malala was a carefully calculated announcement of the Duchess next chapter.

The royal source told Rob, “She chose Malala because she wants to be taken seriously as a humanitarian.”

“Meghan could have gone to a hundred restaurants without being photographed,” an insider tells Rob for his Naughty But Nice substack. “She chose Claridge’s because she wanted to be seen. This was deliberate.”

The close confidant explained, “If Meghan wanted to get back into movies, she would have arranged to be photographed with a powerful director. If she wanted fashion credibility, she’d be having lunch with a major designer,” adding “She chose Malala because she wants to be taken seriously as a humanitarian.”

The expert went on saying, Meghan Markle’s late mother-in-law Princess Diana famously championed landmine victims. Angelina Jolie reinvented herself through humanitarian work, and now Meghan wants her own defining cause.

Rob Shuter continued girls’ education, which she has previously championed alongside Malala, offers an obvious opportunity.

The source told the expert, “Meghan doesn’t want another acting role. She wants her Princess Diana moment — a cause so powerful that people stop talking about the drama and start talking about her impact.”
