Meghan Markle published: why the release of her children's book is so scandalous?
Critics have been hitting Meghan Markle since she gave an interview to Oprah Winfrey in March. While Prince Harry's wife is soon releasing a children's book, her detractors have not missed it.

Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld. to her little boy Archie , at the start of confinement, to support the British organization Save the Children on social networks. Now that Meghan Markle has decided to release her own children's book, lightning is already falling on her head. And this even before its publication, on June 8.
Meghan Markle accused of usurpation

She explains: “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is a mother, wife, feminist and activist. Through the non-profit work of the Archewell Foundation, she and her husband are committed to activating compassion in communities from around the world. She currently resides in her home state of California with her family, two dogs and a growing flock of rescued chickens . "
