Meghan Markle was blasted Thursday after it emerged she has been cold-calling US senators on their private numbers and using her royal title while lobbying them about the disastrous $3.5 trillion spending bill. The exiled UK royal long rumored to have her eyes on the White House startled the GOP lawmakers when she unexpectedly called them to lobby for federal paid parental leave as part of President Bidens divisive proposals, they told Politico. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) said she was driving when a call came from a blocked number, which she assumed to be Democratic holdout Sen. Joe Manchin. And she goes, Senator Capito? This is Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex,' Capito recalled to Politico. I couldnt figure out how she got my number, she said. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) told Politico she also got a call from Prince Harrys wife, who famously turned her back on the royals and accused them of racism in a bombshell TV sitdown. Much to my surprise, she called me on my private line and she introduced herself as the Duchess of Sussex, which is kind of ironic, Collins said, according to Politico reporter Marianne LeVine. I was happy to talk with her. But Im more interested in what the people of Maine are telling me about it, the senator then insisted dismissively.

News of the cold calls and former actress Markles reliance on her duchess title quickly sparked outrage. GOOD GRIEF! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? one angry voter put it simply. Political pundit Darren Grimes called it further proof that Markle and Harry have turned into an insufferable pair. If you have to cold-call someone, impress them with the force of your argument. Not by trading on the royal title of an institution you and your husband have done so much to undermine, GB News host Colin Brazier tweeted. Another British commentator said it was finally time for the Gov to put things in motion to remove the use of their titles. They are breaking all Royal rules using them for political means & commercial gain, tweeted Jackie P. Proud royal watcher Brittany Gadoury stressed that Meghan Markle the American citizen can call senators all day long but Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex has no place meddling in US politics.

It's all part of the UK's plan to take back America. Bet that behind closed doors, Meghan and the queen are still best buddies.

lmao. So she has one of his numbers blocked that it was reasonable for her to think it was Joe calling from another number.

Just as a reminder:
Meghan is a US citizen and was born in the US.
She also lives here for some of the year and would pay taxes in the US

Edit: Still kinda weird she's throwing around her title but whatever.

Literally dont give a shit if she throws around her title. That's like 80% of what our politicians do to begin with.

The clear implication being that she is unworthy of her title. Hmm, I wonder why

You must have missed all the people upset about her mere existence.

As a Brit, I have absolutely no problem with this at all. I'd also wager that pretty much no Brits actually have an issue with it.

And yet I have a weary feeling that this is going to be the main "outrage" in certain shitty newspapers for the next few months anyway.
