Bad Liar
Meghan Markle, known for her advocacy work and public appearances, recently faced criticism over her portrayal of her childhood struggles.
Unlike her husband, Prince Harry, Meghan's early life remains largely unknown to the public.
While she has shared some details about growing up in Southern California, a royal expert accused her of exaggerating her financial hardships.
On October 20, Meghan penned an open letter to Senator Chuck Schumer and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, highlighting the challenges faced by many Americans in making ends meet.
She recounted her own experiences, mentioning financial constraints during her childhood.
Meghan disclosed that she could only afford meals at budget-friendly places like the $4.99 salad bar at Sizzler and took up various jobs during her teenage years.
However, critics, including journalist Angela Mollard, pointed out discrepancies in Meghan's narrative.
Mollard highlighted Meghan's attendance at a prestigious private school and her father's successful career as a lighting director.
Thomas Markle Sr., Meghan's father, won a substantial lottery prize when she was young, and Meghan attended a private Catholic school, raising doubts about her claims of financial struggle.
During a speech in Fiji, Meghan spoke about funding her college education through scholarships and work-study programs.
Contrary to her statements, it was revealed during a legal battle with tabloid newspapers that her parents financially supported her education.
The disclosure raised questions about the accuracy of Meghan's accounts regarding her upbringing.
Looking ahead, the christening of Lilibet Lily Diana, the daughter of Meghan and Prince Harry, presents an opportunity for the family to come together.
Born in June, Lilibet is yet to be baptized, with initial reports suggesting a ceremony in Windsor similar to her brother Archie's christening.
However, recent sources have cast doubt on the event taking place in the UK, indicating a change in plans.
Despite reports ruling out a UK christening, a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex hinted at ongoing discussions regarding the ceremony.
Speculation surrounding the event continues, leaving room for a potential trip to the UK for the christening, possibly in the presence of the Queen.
Royal biographer Mr. Morton expressed optimism about the prospect of a Windsor christening, citing the couple's respect for the monarch.
