Meghan Markle 'sent Jill Biden intriguing gift' after Oprah Winfrey interview
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been "trying to gain political influence in the United States" since moving away from the UK, according to reports.
And while attempting to do this, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is said to have handed the First Lady Jill Biden a very "intriguing gift".
The couple, who stepped back as working members of the Royal Family in 2020, reportedly wanted to gain political influence in the United States of America after leaving the UK. Reports say that the couple "tried a variety of methods" to connect with the Bidens and build up their status and stance in the country.

Harry and Meghan famously sat down for a tell-all interview with American talk show host Oprah Winfrey on March 7, 2021. The interview saw the couple talk about their departure from the Royal Family and the reasoning behind it.
After the interview, the world was divided, but many believe that the Bidens were sympathetic and subtly showed their solidarity to Meghan and Harry in a very sweet way. The following day after the Duke and Duchess' bombshell chat with Oprah, the First Lady was seen wearing an Oscar de la Renta dress that was very similar to a dress from the same brand that Meghan had worn a month earlier.

The paper also report that Jill Biden was invited to attend Harry's Invictus Games, but add that the idea "was killed amid concerns that the Royal Family may have been offended by her presence there". Although in 2021 Harry and Jill did join forces for an event, with the First Lady hosting a Zoom event with wounded warrior athletes in September 2021.
This comes after the paper claimed the couple "wanted to fly back to the US with President Biden on Air Force One" after attending the Queen's funeral last autumn, but their request was denied by the White House.
A source told the MailOnline the White House denied the request in case it caused a "commotion" and harmed the President's relations with the palace.
