"It's the parenting paradigm, where it is so full on, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. But I think what's really key about what you said, and the pandemic may have been the thing that shifted this when working from home and parenting from home where they are completely converged [it] can feel incredibly overwhelming,” she said, as per PEOPLE.

Meghan Markle admits to having an ‘amazing nanny’ for her children

But a few days later, Markle appeared on ‘The Jamie Kern Lima Show’, where she admittrd to having a nanny for years.

Describing her daily routine, she said, “I get up at 6:30 and give me a minute to – I wish I could say I woke up and meditated – I don't do that, I have the monitors on so I could hear both the kids.”

“They get up at 7 so I give myself a little bit of time to either put on workout clothes brush my teeth, get both of them, up I get them dressed get them downstairs, make breakfast and then if I haven't done their lunch boxes the night before then do that,” the 43-year-old explained.

The Duchess of Sussex then however mentioned that “on other days then I'll wake up and get them all set and then our amazing nanny who's been with us for five years, she'll take them to school for us.”

Netizens call Meghan Markle’s struggles ‘laughable’

However, her remarks didn't go down well with many people who began to slam Markle on X.

A user commented, “There’s nothing wrong with having a nanny. What’s wrong is making the world think you’ve been doing it completely by yourself when in reality from the very beginning, you’ve had a nanny. There’s nothing wrong with it. What’s wrong is giving the perception that you’ve been doing it alone when you’ve had a nanny in your corner.”

Another user wrote, “Rich People Struggles are just Laughable.”

“Mind you if you believed the whole devoted mother thing you were a bit naive. She's so focussed on being in the media spotlight that there was no time for being mummy too,” the third user said.

A critic tweeted, “‘Little tips’ She thinks everything she does is some major epiphany and a huge accomplishment, like transferring peanuts from one bag to another, or leaving a note in her kid's lunchbox. What a weirdo.”

The second critic shared, “Notice how she is looking down at the floor as she is recalling the morning daily routine. In my understanding of body language, that's indicative of someone who is lying.”

“The sign of a liar is over explaining details that are unnecessary,” a tweet read.
