Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has written a letter to urge US Congressional Democratic leadership to pass federal paid family and medical leave.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is urging Congressional Democratic leadership to pass federal paid family and medical leave and"ensure this consequential moment is not lost" as Democrats continue to negotiate a deal to pass the Biden administration's social safety net and infrastructure package.

"Paid leave should be a national right, rather than a patchwork option limited to those whose employers have policies in place, or those who live in one of the few states where a leave program exists," she wrote in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, published Wednesday by the Paid Leave for All organization.

Is her and her husband paying their fair share in taxes? I think any celebrity bring up this stuff should do so while releasing their tax returns. U know make sure the rich are paying their fair share…..

Did she propose who this will be paid by? Asking for a friend…

Who cares about an 'american' fake duchess!

Go away!

Who the fuck listens to this princess?

This was Ivanka Trumps push too when her father was in the White House. I believe it was only applied to Federal employees at the time.

Is she trying to throw her (not much-ess) duchess weigh around? Her title means nothing here in the U.S.

Wtf is she to ask for these🤷‍♂️

Duchess of Hollywood and politics

Who?

Is it the only thing the Duchess of Sussex can contribute for the poorest of the poor, writing a letter! Incidentally where is Lilibeth hiding!

Her opinion stopped counting in 1776

She needs to go back to england! we are not interested in her ideas!

(Sarcastic Font) Well she is one of THE most influential 'people' in the world...according to Time Magazine. Maybe she could write Santa and ask him to protect Tiawan or rescue the people left behind in Afghanistan. Get some Priorities Princess!!

Who cares what she wrote? I can write them as well. She an actress with no public position, so why publish it?

I am a graphic designer. Especially I work in line art design. if you need it and like my work please order me at Fiverr.

DO BETTER

Why would anyone listen to the grifter princess?!?

Do not ask him about inflation. JetpackJoe

I thought they want privacy!!!

Little jelly this didn't happen when I had my kids.... we worked our butts off..and sacrificed that precious time because we had to put bread on the table... Proud we did it, and did it well. Our kids are awesome. Happy that the next generation won't have to make that sacrifice.

If people moved away from hating, and focused on the message, then maybe they would stimulate their minds positively. Read the reasoning and statement an argument for ir against it. Y attack her personally?

Harry suffered when their kids were born, no paid time off, poor guy, it was all on her almost-royal shoulders, shame.

It is embarrassing that we don’t have this. It is funny when people try to say America is the best. In the end we only can blow things up better than the rest of the world outside of that we rank rather low

Meghan Markle's father labeled 'deadbeat dad' after latest attack on duchessThomas Markle has been accused of 'attacking his child for profit and notoriety' after he said his daughter and Prince Harry are motivated by money. Mr. Merkle should have said 'not any more' Prince Harry & his celebrity spouse were motivated by MONEY and FAME. But of course FAME without MONNEY amounts to nothing. He was therefore correct in just highlighting MONEY as their [principal] motivation Please stop chasing the absurdity of family It is a really tacky and bad look for what should be real journalists and real journalism

Meghan Markle urges Congress to fight for paid parental leave'Like any parents, we were overjoyed. Like many parents, we were overwhelmed,' the Duchess of Sussex wrote about welcoming her daughter with Prince Harry. We should all thank Meghan for using her platform to address this issue! Last I read, the goal was for 12 weeks, however, due to inevitable package trimming, could be down to 4. Still progress. Show voters which party is truly for families, then build on it w/ bigger majorities None of your business lady. Using kids to get publicity. Shameful!!!! They need to fight for those that fought for us when it mattered the most. Paid parental leave is necessary but when you're a professional essential who sacrificed and worked when most everyone else quarantined and considered champions only to get betrayed later, is real bad.
