Meghan Markle’s parenting hack sparks online debate
Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, recently found herself the subject of online discussion, not for her Netflix series or podcast, but for a comment she made about her children’s bedtime routine. During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Markle shared that when her work schedule prevents her from being home for bedtime, she records herself reading bedtime stories for her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
While some found the idea heartwarming and praised Markle’s creativity, others criticized the Duchess, accusing her of using her children for publicity. Some social media users felt the anecdote was “cringe” and questioned why it was noteworthy.
Others, however, defended Markle, pointing out that many working parents employ similar tactics to stay connected with their children. The Duchess’s comment sparked a wider conversation about the challenges of balancing work and family life, with many parents sharing their own experiences and solutions.
