Recently, Meghan has made a new move, and she is doubling down on her push for Congress to pass federal paid maternity leave.
She donated a Starbucks gift card (Starbucks Gift Card) with a face value of $25 (about 150 yuan) to the staff of a national nonprofit organization that pushed for the proposal.
U.S. spokeswoman Neil Stroka tweeted Saturday that the Duchess of Sussex (Meghan) "bought a couple of coffees and a Starbucks gift card for everyone who attended PaidLeaveus while we were working overtime for #SavePaidLeave." ”
Spokesman Neil Stroka also said: "Megan's move is incredibly elegant... Very apt move. “
"In the battle to win #PaidLeaveForAll, I'm really honored to know that she's our supporter."
Megan was born on August 4, 1981 in Los Angeles, California, and is an actress. Megan Markle's mother was African-American and her father was Dutch-Irish.
On 19 May 2018, Meghan Markle was married to Prince Harry in the UK. In April 2018, he was honored by Time Magazine's 2018 World's Most Influential Person. On October 15, 2018, Kensington Palace announced that Prince Harry's wife, Meghan, was pregnant. In 2019, the princess's name was included in an online dictionary as a verb, meaning "ruthless abandonment." On 31 March 2020, Meghan and Prince Harry officially withdrew from public office in the British royal family and subsequently left the United Kingdom.
She had previously written to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (New York State Democrat).
In the letter, Meghan claimed that a national paid parental leave program should be introduced in the United States, especially to help many women stay in the workforce and keep their jobs to make ends meet.
Millions of people have had to quit their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic to take care of children and other families full-time.
Duchess Meghan insisted that "paid maternity leave should be a national right, not limited to those whose employers have established policies." ”
Only six U.S. states— including New York and New Jersey — offer some form of paid family leave, as does the District of Columbia. Three other states — Connecticut, Colorado, and Oregon — have enacted paid family leave laws that have not yet gone into effect.
According to Forbes, Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, have left the British royal family and are currently estimated to have an estimated net worth of about $10 million.
What Meghan and Harry have done in recent years has been very hurtful, especially for the British people, who have created a rift with the British royal family.
Since being publicly interviewed by Oprah, Meghan and Harry have done little to fix their relationship.
So, is Megan feeling purely as a new mom and wants to help more people this time, or is she really paving the way for her own future?
