Meghan Markle slammed over comments on being a working mother

Meghan Markle is facing backlash for her recent remarks about balancing work and motherhood.

Speaking on a podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, the Duchess of Sussex shared that she and Prince Harry have had a nanny for five years to help care for their children, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet.

"[Archie and Lilibet] get up at 7am so I give myself a little bit of time to either put on workout clothes brush my teeth, get both of them, up I get them dressed get them downstairs, make breakfast and then if I haven't done their lunch boxes the night before then do that,” she said.

Meghan continued, “I love doing lunch boxes, it makes me very happy and writing a little note in their lunch boxes... If I don't have meetings in the morning then I try to do school drop off.

“They're at two different schools, so that's a big circuit. So from 6.30am in the morning on drop off mornings for me I'm not home till 9am. And then after that I'll just jump into meetings.

"And then on other days then I'll wake up and get them all set and then our amazing nanny who's been with us for five years, she'll take them to school for us and then, yeah, we always try to..."

Sharing her two-cents on the matter, royal expert Bronte Coy said Meghan’s portrayal of being a working mum feels out of touch.

While acknowledging the challenges of parenting, she spoke of the Duchess of Sussex’s privilege of being able to afford professional help.

“I have a son, and when I hear people from positions of great privilege where they can afford nannies and a lot of help go on and on and on about the working mum thing,” the expert said, per GB News.

She added, “Yes, it's time away from your kid, I definitely understand that aspect.

“But it's not the same as the working mum idea that, you know, a lot of the rest of the world has to deal with.

“You do have help. And also you are at home a lot. I don't know. I find that a little bit grating.”
