In a scathing critique, a role commentator has taken aim at Meghan Markle for what’s been described as a questionable anecdote about her daughter, Lilibet. Recently, the Sussexes wrapped up a tour of Nigeria, kicking off with a visit to a school in Aja supported by the couple’s Archewell Foundation. During her time at the school, Meghan shared a story about a conversation she had with Lilibet, using it as a bridge to connect with the students.
She recounted, “Our daughter Lily, she’s much, much tinier than you guys. She’s about to turn three, and a few weeks ago, she looked at me and she would just see the reflection in my eyes and she goes, ‘Mama, I see me and you.’” Meghan explained how she interpreted these words in a deeply personal way, drawing parallels between herself and the students she addressed, saying, “As I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well.”
However, speaking on GB News’ “America Daily,” columnist Moren Kahan sharply criticized Meghan’s narrative. “Meghan Markle tells the story with a straight face,” she remarked, adding, “What’s the point of this trip? She spent the whole time talking about herself. It’s laughable.” Kahan didn’t stop there, also scrutinizing Prince Harry’s behavior during the same event. She condemned Harry for his actions, including inspecting Nigerian troops despite having been stripped of his royal titles.
“It’s so laughable and further diminishes Harry in the eyes of the royals and the world,” Kahan continued. “He’s standing to attention as though he still holds his military honors and titles, as if he wasn’t stripped of them when he left. It’s an insult to the Nigerian people.”
Kahan went on to criticize Meghan’s tendency to prominently display her role as a mother. “Megan delights in flaunting her role as a mother. It’s all about maintaining appearances, isn’t it?” she questioned. “Who needs to proclaim their parental love to the world? Genuine empathy naturally fosters affection for one’s children.”
Highlighting what she perceives as a disconnect between Meghan’s public persona and her actual parenting, Kahan suggested that Meghan’s absence from her children’s lives undermines her professed maternal devotion. She pointed out Meghan’s recent absence on Mother’s Day, noting her travel to Nigeria to support her husband’s charitable endeavors instead of spending time with her family.
“Amidst it all, she consistently touts maternal love and the wonders of motherhood, yet her actions overshadow her words, revealing blatant hypocrisy,” Kahan concluded.
This critique underscores ongoing skepticism and scrutiny surrounding Meghan Markle’s public image and her portrayal of motherhood amidst her and Harry’s philanthropic activities.
