Surely, if there is anyone with their finger on the pulse of American parents and the issue of paid family leave it is Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, wife to Prince Harry Charles Albert David Windsor, the Duke of Sussex, sixth in line for the British throne, right?
Somehow, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) believes this and has rushed to give Meghan Markle a central place in the Senate’s debate over the issue.
This week we learned that Gillibrand gave the phone numbers of select GOP senators, such as Susan Collins and Shelley Moore Capito, to the Duchess in order that she might lean on them to push for the progressive paid leave plan. What a strange phone call to get. What kind of bizarre elite bubble do you have to live in to think anyone would care what the Duchess has to say on this?
It gets better. Gillibrand is now planning to host Markle at the Capitol so her influence campaign can continue. I’m sure they’ll all swoon.
