In an interview, Ms. Gillibrand said the former actress and wife of royal grandson Prince Harry called her to discuss the issue.

“I could hear how sincere she was about advocacy,” Ms. Gillibrand said in an interview with The 19th, which ran on Thursday.

There was a thread recently, which said how Meghan Markle has called at least one member of Congress on a personal phone, to push this family leave cause.

How Meghan Markle got the personal phone number of a member of Congress was not revealed.

Markle is the same as Greta Thunberg. She has nothing to offer except a certain kind of celebrity. I still want to know how “activist” ever got to be accepted as a full-time job. They produce nothing but trouble.

Still waiting for someone to prove that Harry is really the son of Diana’s riding instructor. That would mean Harry and Meghan’s royalty would go poof. The idea of royalty is silly anyway.

Likely because hubby has a visa that gets him out of paying US income taxes.

The real question is why the assault on the House of Windsor by US and UK Derp States.

W.T.H.?!
