Meghan Markle recently made a surprising comment about her daughter Lilibet during her visit to Nigeria, which one commentator deemed laughable.
Meghan traveled to the African country last month with her husband, Prince Harry. The couple participated in several fundraising events and spent time speaking with children at a school in Abuja, supported by the Archewell Foundation. While at the Lightway Academy, Meghan delivered a speech and shared a surprising conversation she had with her daughter.
"Our daughter Lili, she's much, much tinier than you guys," Meghan began. She continued, "She's about to turn three, and a few weeks ago she looked at me and she would just see the reflection in my eyes and she goes, 'Mama, I see me in you.' Oh, now she was talking really literally, but I hung on to those words in a very different way and I thought, 'Yeah, I do see me in you and you see me in you.' As I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well," Meghan concluded.
However, commentator Maureen Callahan found Meghan's story absurd, given how young Lilibet is. Speaking to GB News, Callahan said, "Meghan Markle tells the story with a straight face. What's the point of this trip? She spent the whole time talking about herself; it's laughable." Callahan also criticized Harry's behavior at the event, saying, "It's so laughable and further diminishes Harry in the eyes of the Royals and the world. He's standing at attention as though he still holds his military honors and titles, as if he wasn't stripped of them when he left."
The phrase "I see me in you" has drawn attention due to its similarity to the title of a bestselling children's book by Dr. Michelle Daly. While the phrase is common enough that it might be a coincidence, the context is remarkably similar, focusing on children of color seeing themselves in famous people. Meghan was trying to convey, "Hey, I'm like you," but this led to speculation about potential legal action for alleged plagiarism of Dr. Daly's book. The resemblance between Meghan's comments and the content of Daly's book has raised eyebrows, with some commentators suggesting that Markle may have lifted the concept without proper attribution. If proven true, these plagiarism accusations could result in legal consequences for Markle, potentially tarnishing her reputation and leading to financial penalties.
Critics argue that every time Meghan Markle speaks, she spreads misinformation and lies. They claim she lacks originality and behaves like a narcissist, mimicking others she admires. Due to her alleged laziness and lack of intelligence, they suggest she steals ideas to make herself appear more accomplished. Critics also assert that whenever she talks about children, it strikes against her credibility, as she is not genuinely involved with kids and struggles to craft convincing narratives. This behavior is typical of pathological liars who incorporate intriguing stories into their own narratives.
Dealing with Meghan Markle's type can be incredibly frustrating, according to these critics. They accuse her of plagiarizing everything, from Catherine's fashion sense—though poorly executed—to Rihanna's shoes, from authors' lines to her attire in front of Nigerians, to Diana's perfume. They believe her entire existence seems borrowed from other people's stories or sources. Despite her usually slender appearance, critics describe something bloated and greedy about Meghan, constantly desiring other women's lives, husbands, styles, titles, careers, and more.
