Daughter of a makeup artist, Doria Ragland and a chief lighting designer, Thomas Markle, Meghan Markle has painful memories of these times of famine. “As a Boy Scout, when my troop went to dinner for a big party, it was at this same salad bar or The Old Spaghetti Factory, because that’s what those families could afford.” She also said she started working at a very young age. “I started working at the local frozen yogurt store when I was 13 years old. I’ve worked my whole life and saved when and where I could – but even that was a luxury – because it was usually about making ends meet and having enough to pay my rent and put gasoline in my car. “
In doing so, the spokesperson for the middle class and presenting himself as “a mother and citizen” like the others, Meghan Markle has faced criticism from the British press, which recalled that the young woman failed to mention that her father was an Emmy Award-winning chief lighting designer, that she was enrolled in a prestigious private Catholic school from a young age and attended Immaculate Heart High School, at $ 16,000 per year. Today, she is a multimillionaire thanks in particular to partnerships with Netflix or Spotify.
