Meghan Markle [1] continues to be the thoughtful queen we know and love [2]. Over the weekend, Neil Sroka, communications director for PL+US, tweeted that Meghan surprised the employees of the American nonprofit [3] with $25 Starbucks gift cards [4] through Archewell Foundation [5].
"The Duchess of Sussex (aka #MeghanMarkle) bought everyone at @PaidLeaveUS a few cups of coffee while we're working overtime to #SavePaidLeave. Unbelievably classy... and necessary. Truly honoured to know she has our backs in the fight to win #PaidLeaveForAll," he tweeted. In a separate tweet, he added, "Maybe that doesn't mean much to some, but for our team fighting to #SavePaidLeave it was a delightful surprise. Thank you #MeghanMarkle."
PL+US is currently working toward achieving paid family and medical leave [7] for all in the US by 2022, and just a couple of weeks ago, Meghan advocated for it [8] in an open letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. "I am, like many, an engaged citizen and a parent. . . . No family should be faced with these decisions," she wrote. "No family should have to choose between earning a living and having the freedom to take care of their child."
