“I was happy to talk with her, but I’m more interested in what the people of Maine are telling me about it.”Īpparently, The Duchess had been given their mobile numbers by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Senator for Maine Collins continued to say: “Much to my surprise, she called me on my private line and she introduced herself as the Duchess of Sussex, which is kind of ironic. It says ‘caller ID blocked’,” the senator recounted. Senator Capito said she was the wheel when her phone went. Now, an American senator has mocked Meghan Markle saying she’s “more interested” in what her constituents have to say after the Duchess of Sussex cold-called her. Meghan apparently called senators Shelley Moore Capito and Susan Collins on a withheld number, when they answered the phone they were told: “This is Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.” The Duchess of Sussex lobbied Republican senators by calling them with a withheld number in an attempt to include paid parental leave in a Bill by the US government.
