Bad Liar: Meghan’s Exaggerated Childhood Struggles Exposed

Meghan Markle, unlike Prince Harry, has not spent much of her life in the public eye.

As a result, there is a significant portion of her childhood that remains unknown to the world.

While Meghan has shared some glimpses into her upbringing in Southern California, a recent accusation by a royal expert suggests that she may have embellished a story about her struggles during those early years.

On October 20, Meghan penned an open letter to Senator Chuck Schumer and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, advocating for paid parental leave.

In the letter, she expressed empathy for Americans who constantly struggle to make ends meet.

Meghan even disclosed some financial hardships she experienced in her own childhood.

For instance, she revealed that eating out was a luxury, limited to affordable options like the $4.99 salad bar at Sizzler.

Additionally, as a teenager, Meghan worked multiple jobs to earn money.

While some can relate to her story, others believe she may be exaggerating her financial difficulties.

One critic, journalist Angela Mollard, highlighted Meghan's claims and questioned their accuracy.

Mollard pointed out that she, too, had to rely on inexpensive meals and worked in a yogurt shop during her own upbringing.

However, critics argue that Meghan attended a private Catholic school, Immaculate Heart High School, which cost $16,000 per year, and her father, Thomas Markle Sr., was a successful lighting director who won a $750,000 lottery when Meghan was young.

Mollard suggests that Meghan's tendency to embellish stories undermines her credibility.

During a speech at the University of the South Pacific in Fiji, Meghan mentioned that she was able to attend college through scholarships, financial aid programs, and work-study opportunities.

However, it was later revealed during her trial against tabloid newspapers in the UK that her parents financially supported her education.

Meghan's lawyer stated that both her father and mother contributed to her university tuition.

This revelation casts doubt on Meghan's claim of solely relying on scholarships and work to fund her studies.

The christening of Lilibet Lily Diana, Meghan and Prince Harry's daughter, was expected to be an opportunity for the family to move forward.

Born on June 4 at a Santa Barbara hospital, Lilibet has yet to be baptized.

In July, sources suggested that the couple desired to return to the UK to have their daughter christened at Windsor, following in the footsteps of their son Archie Harrison.

However, recent reports dismissed the likelihood of the christening taking place in Harry's homeland.

A Palace insider stated unequivocally that there would be no christening in the UK, contradicting earlier speculation.

Nonetheless, a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex maintained that plans for the christening were still being finalized, leaving open the possibility of a trip to the UK for the ceremony, potentially in the presence of the Queen.

When asked about the possibility of a Windsor christening, royal biographer Mr. Morton expressed his belief that it would be a desirable choice for Meghan and Harry, given their respect for the Queen.

Mr. Morton, renowned for his collaboration with the late Princess Diana, shared his views on the potential ceremony before the Palace sources deemed it unlikely.

In conclusion, Meghan Markle finds herself facing scrutiny over allegations of exaggerating her difficult childhood.

While she has spoken about financial struggles and hardships, critics argue that her privileged upbringing and the support she received from her parents undermine the authenticity of her claims.

Additionally, the christening of Lilibet Lily Diana remains uncertain, with conflicting reports on whether it will take place in the UK or not.

As the public continues to follow Meghan and Harry's journey, questions surrounding their past and future decisions persist.
