I remembered seeing a pic of her outside Buckingham Palace at 15. Poor people don’t get to London. The woman is such a liar.

She actually went out to eat? That money could have been used to cook larger meals at home.

I dare say that most of us here can say our meals were at the family dining room or kitchen table - not eating out!! We didn’t realize how deprived we were, did we?

She doesn't look terribly impoverished, does she? I'm not an expert on the cost of the shoes, dress, and handbag.

Nothing she has in that pic is cheap, including the trip.

From CNN. Perhaps she forgot this

“ As the country’s largest employer, the United States government must lead by example. After three years of relentless advocacy, the passage of the NDAA will secure Paid Parental Leave for all federal employees,” Ivanka Trump said in a statement. “This will mark a HUGE step forward towards making paid leave a reality for all Americans. This new policy represents another incredible win for millions of hard-working American families courtesy of President Trump!”

And her father, the President, called for a national paid family leave program during the presidential campaign and his proposed budget is the first to include a national paid family leave program. He is expected to sign the legislation.”

How many American 15 year olds get to trot around merry old England??

Even the group HS trips are quite pricey, for most.

She has no idea that a $4.99 Sizzler (or other type) salad bar was, and still is, a luxury unaffordable for many people. I was in my early twenties before I realized there WAS such a thing as a salad bar.

Markle is a major reason we should have not only kicked King George’s ass but destroyed GB as a power.

If Markle wanted to really help she could have loitered down on 14th ST.

What a crock. People are poor, so what? It’s motivation to work harder, to improve your lot in life, to not remain where you are.
Remove that and you have nothing.

‘All due respect......she’s 40!’

Yes, and I feel for her. She will learn, won’t she?

Did she follow her salad with a Colt 45 and a Newport loosey?
Sizzler…

Now add mom and dad’s meal. At that time, they could have eaten steak dinner with potatoes and a vegetable at home for $15.00. $15x7 is $105 a week. Before the Biden inflation, a family of 3 could eat nicely with some planning.
