Royal Family LIVE: Meghan Markle confronted with “Young Moms Conference from £ 11million Mansion” | Royal | New

Royal author Duncan Larcombe has denounced the Duchess of Sussex’s birthday initiative to mentor women returning to work after the pandemic. Mr Larcombe said Meghan, who lives in California with Prince Harry after stepping down from royal duties, should instead “try to build bridges” with the royal family.

Speaking to True Royalty TV’s The Royal Beat, Mr Larcombe said: “It’s awesome, she’s doing this, she just had a baby, and it’s all about Meghan, and that’s frankly about the It went so badly in this country.

“She left a trail of devastation behind her, on the Markle side, and now on the Windsor side.

“I don’t want to see her lecture young moms who are forced to return to work from her £ 11million mansion in Los Angeles.

“This move is absurd, she should spend her time trying to build bridges with the very people she and Harry betrayed.

“That’s what I think most people in this country believe.”

Meghan unveiled her 40×40 project earlier this month to mark her 40th birthday.

In a short video with Hollywood actress Melissa McCarthy to kick off the initiative, the Duchess said: “Because I’m 40, I’m asking 40 friends to donate 40 minutes of their time to help mentor a woman who is once again mobilizing in the labor market.

“Over two million in the United States alone and tens of millions around the world have lost their jobs due to Covid, and I think if we all do that and we all spend 40 minutes doing some sort of act of service, we can create a ripple effect. “
