Meghan Markle’s Political Lobbying Sparks Controversy and Calls to Strip Royal Title

Piers Morgan, known for his criticism of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, has demanded that the Duchess of Sussex be stripped of her royal title.

This comes after reports surfaced claiming that Meghan had been cold-calling politicians in her role as the Duchess of Sussex.

Allegedly, she used her influence to lobby Republican senators on their private phones.

Outraged by this revelation, Morgan took to Twitter, calling it “outrageous” for Meghan to use her royal title for political lobbying and urging the Queen to take away their titles.

It is alleged that Meghan called Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia in her battle for paid parental leave.

These unexpected calls from the Duchess reportedly involved her using her royal title to lobby for the cause.

In a letter addressed to Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Meghan emphasized the importance of nationally mandated paid leave for American parents.

However, not everyone is supportive of Meghan's involvement in the political world.

Republican Congressman Jason Smith voiced his disapproval, stating that while he has no issue with her engaging in politics, he takes exception to her using her British royal title while lobbying for change within the government.

Smith pointed out that the royal family has a longstanding policy of remaining neutral in U.S. politics, suggesting that Meghan should drop her duchess title when addressing the government.

Smith's sentiments are echoed by Republican Senator Susan Collins, who expressed surprise at receiving a call from Meghan on her private line.

Collins revealed that Meghan introduced herself as the Duchess of Sussex during their conversation, which she found ironic.

While Collins was willing to engage in dialogue, she emphasized that her priority lies in listening to the people of Maine regarding the matter.

Similarly, Republican Senator Shelley Moore Capito shared her experience of receiving a phone call from Meghan.

The call came from a blocked number, and Capito initially assumed it was her colleague, Democratic Senator Joe Manchin.

To her surprise, it was Meghan introducing herself as the Duchess of Sussex.

Capito admitted her confusion about how Meghan obtained her number.

The use of Meghan's British royal title during her political interactions has raised concerns among some members of the government.

They argue that she should refrain from leveraging her title while involving herself in U.S. politics.

The controversy surrounding Meghan's actions has prompted calls for her to drop the duchess title when lobbying for causes she is passionate about.

As this debate unfolds, it remains to be seen how Meghan will navigate her involvement in political matters going forward.

The clash between her royal status and her desire to advocate for change has ignited a discussion about the appropriate role of a member of the British royal family in American politics.
