The Duchess of Sussex is “shocked” by critics who think she is getting into politics because she feels that telling people to vote in US elections “should not be controversial,” says the Finding Freedom author.

Talking to Elle.comA source told Finding Freedom author Carolyn Durand: [Meghan] he thought he was saying something relatively uncontroversial, which is that people should participate and vote. “
The source reportedly continued: “ Now you feel and admit, as you said the other day, that you have to constantly be careful what you say and stick to what you think will not be controversial. Even telling people to get involved in the democratic process shouldn’t be a controversial issue. ”
