Royal Family LIVE: Meghan Markle’s ‘victimhood’ exposed during TV interview on birthday

Prince William and Princess Kate want their three children to have as normal a home life as possible.

Meghan Markle has been accused of playing the “victim” as her and Prince Harry’s interview on CBS Sunday Morning is set to to air this weekend.

During the chat the couple talk about their work trying to tackle online abuse, and how they wish to protect their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet from what they have experience.

Meanwhile back at home Prince William and Princess Kate might be one of the most famous couples on the planet, but according to an inside source their life at home is very ordinary.

They do not employ a vast number of royal servants as instead three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are expected to help out with chores.

While the Waleses do have daytime staff to manage their work schedules, when at home in Adelaide Cottage they prefer to raise their children themselves.

A source told the Daily Mail: “I think it would surprise people to see how ordinary things are at home. The children help with laying the table, clearing their plates when they’ve finished eating and helping with tidying up. There’s no preferential treatment.”

Their nanny Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo used to live with the family at Kensington Palace but apparently did not move with them when they relocated to Windsor.

Meghan Markle’s ‘victimhood’ has become ‘tiring in the public’s eyes’ says psychotherapist

EXCLUSIVE: Leading psychotherapist Gin Lalli has spoken about how the public could become tired of Meghan’s “victim” narrative.

She told Express.co.uk: “It’s an interesting dynamic, which could be interpreted as a continuation of her portrayal as a victim in the public eye.

“This approach could be seen as an attempt to garner public sympathy by highlighting her own adversities. This is typical victimhood. It can take the focus away from the bigger picture.

“A victim’s narrative tends to spotlight their individual struggles, reinforcing a perception of perpetual victimhood.

“This might be perceived as a strategic move to draw emotional support and reinforce a public image as someone who has endured significant personal challenges.

“This is fair enough, but it becomes tiring in the public’s eyes.”

Meghan Markle’s birthday wish and the very unusual gift she once asked for

Meghan Markle previously wrote on her now-defunct blog The Tig that she makes a birthday wish every year.

One year she made an unusual request however, as she asked her followers to use her birthday as an opportunity to find their own happiness.

As reported by the Mirror, she wrote in 2014: “I am 33 years old today. And I am happy. And I say that so plainly because, well… it takes time.

“So for my birthday, here’s what I would like as a gift: I want you to be kind to yourself. I want you to challenge yourself. I want you to stop gossiping, to try a food that scares you, to buy a coffee for someone just because, to tell someone you love them… and then to tell yourself right back.

“I want you to find your happiness. I did. And it’s never felt so good.”
