Meghan Markle's claims she lived on $5 Sizzler salad as a child and her family was poor is a world away from the $14million LA mansion she lives in with Prince Harry and their two children having built up a $100million-plus fortune over the past two years.
Her extraordinary 1,030-word letter asks the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi and the Majority Leader in the US Senate Chuck Schumer, both Democrats, to consider her plea for paid leave for parents 'on behalf of my family, Archie and Lili and Harry'.
And critics have also questioned one of the most astonishing parts of her letter, that she suggests her family were impoverished but fails to mention her father was an Emmy award-winning lighting director and she was educated at private school from kindergarten including the $16,000-a-year private Immaculate Heart High School - all paid for by Thomas Markle's salary and his state lottery win.
Many of Meghan's supporters have backed her calls for universal paid leaves for parents, but pointed out that her letter fails to mention Joe Biden, who is about to try to force it into law as part of his $3.5million Build Back Better Agenda.
Meghan's very public statement is likely to ruffle feathers and add fuel to speculation that she has political ambitions despite her insistence it was sent as an American 'mom'. Many have said this is yet another step into the US political arena for the Duchess of Sussex after the furore she and Harry caused by urging Americans to vote in the last presidential election - angering Republicans including Donald Trump.

My wife is Canadian and she cannot stand the Markles, but like a bad car accident she cannot look away. U.K. Brits probably have the same thing but moreso.
This hits the Daily Mail’s sweet spot, sensationalism and Royals.
They cover that VERY well.
What’s funny about all this is that Meghan thinks the Royals didn’t know anything about her before letting Harry marry her.
I’ll bet their security branches did a deep dive into her shallow past and know all about the Sizzler dinners, nannies, private school...and probably some stuff she’d like to forget herself!
Here’s the take-down you were looking forward to. lol
She doesn’t live in a “LA mansion.”
She lives in a luxury home with a pool and a bit of acreage in Montecito, about five miles south of Santa Barbara and 93 miles up the coast from Los Angeles.
Just one question-she gonna pay for that leave?
No?
Then she needs to shaddup.
Her father won the California state lottery?
I wonder how much.
$750,000. No need to wonder. Right there in the article.
Meghan (pronounced Me Again) is the archetype of the typical first world modern woman today.
Meghan Markle’s claims she lived on $5 Sizzler salad as a child
Who really cares about this person?
She’s getting print far beyond her weight.
A two-bit skid row actress and the bastard offspring of a non-blood princess and her chauffer.
Montecito, where mudslides killed a dozen or so people about 3 years ago.
I kind of admire her gold digging success in a way, but I have no desire to ever meet her.
If you saw her picture in the white designer mini dress you might say differently. It looks like she has put on quite a few pounds recently. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Point taken; but I was thinking of a different kind of ‘weight’.
The Royals seems to be properly ignoring her; the rest of us should do the same.
(Everything these two do is designed to get them attention. I suggest that we starve them of that.)
$5 buffets? Where? If there were $5 salad bars anywhere near I would never buy groceries.
I’m not really sure what the point of her Sizzler story is, but this idiot seems to be whining about the “poverty” of having to eat at a chain steak restaurant.
Actually, the number of deaths in that mudslide was 21 or more.
Some dufus in the area blamed it on “climate change,” when fire denuded foothills followed shortly after by a heavy rain was the cause.
I guess I should have read the article!
$750,000 grand! Wow. It looks like his daughter won an even bigger lottery by marrying Harry.
