Taylor Swift, the renowned pop star, recently took to her Instagram account to share a heartfelt message with her Jewish fans in honor of Hanukkah, the eight-day festival of lights.

In the video, Swift expressed her admiration for Jewish culture and traditions while extending warm wishes to her followers for a happy Hanukkah.

As a delightful surprise, she even treated her fans to a snippet of the popular Hanukkah song, “I Have a Little Dreidel.”

However, amidst this celebration, a new book by royal biographer Omid Scobie has unveiled some startling allegations regarding Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.

According to Scobie, Markle disclosed that two members of the royal family had expressed concerns about the potential darkness of her son Archie’s skin when he was born.

Additionally, Markle claimed that one of them made a derogatory comment about Archie’s Jewish heritage, implying that he would not be a suitable heir to the throne.

Markle’s Jewish background has been a subject of controversy and speculation since her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018.

Initially, several media outlets reported that Markle was Jewish, citing a story from the British tabloid Daily Express.

The story claimed that her father was Jewish and that she had a Jewish wedding with her first husband, Trevor Engelson.

However, these claims were later debunked by Markle’s representatives and Westminster Abbey, where she married Harry.

The church clarified that Markle is not Jewish and that her previous marriage did not hinder her ability to have a Christian wedding.

In contrast to Markle’s alleged antisemitism, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has received praise from a Jewish a cappella group called 613.

Known for their parodies of contemporary pop songs with Jewish themes, the group dedicated a song titled “A Thank You to Kate Middleton” to her in 2019.

The song, a clever parody of Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You,” expresses gratitude to Middleton for being a role model and friend to the Jewish community.

It also acknowledges Middleton’s commitment to raising her children with Jewish values.

After the group performed at a charity event in London, Middleton sent them a personal letter of appreciation.

The song by 613 has garnered over 2 million views on YouTube and has received widespread acclaim from viewers who admire Middleton’s grace and generosity.

Many have even drawn comparisons between Middleton and Markle, accusing the latter of being selfish and divisive.

One commenter praised Middleton, saying, “Kate is a class act.

She is respectful of all cultures and religions.

Meghan is a disgrace.

She is a liar and a manipulator.

She is trying to destroy the royal family and the British people.”

Another commenter echoed this sentiment, stating, “Kate is a true princess.

She is humble and compassionate.

Meghan is a fake.

She is arrogant and hateful.

She is spreading lies and hatred.”

While Taylor Swift has not directly addressed the criticism surrounding her Hanukkah message or Markle’s alleged antisemitism, some of her fans have come to her defense.

They argue that Swift should not be held accountable for Markle’s actions and emphasize her right to celebrate Hanukkah as she pleases.

One fan expressed support for Swift, saying, “Taylor is a wonderful person.

She is not antisemitic.

She is just showing love and respect to her Jewish fans.

She is friends with Meghan because of her personality and character, not her race or religion.”
