Summary

Alise, Milly, and Amanda are back to elaborate on how race factored into the British press’s discrimination against Meghan Markle, and how her biracial status earned her support among the most dedicated advocates. Then, they react to Piers Morgan throwing a tantrum on behalf of the queen. Finally, they discuss how the COVID relief’s transformational child tax credit -- a $300 monthly benefit per child! -- will impact their friends and families, and discuss the role finances have played in delaying parenthood in their own lives.
