Duchess Meghan has already had to deal with some hostility in her life.
Now she also revealed bullying during her pregnancies.
Austin - Since Prince Harry (39) and Duchess Meghan (42) have gone their own way away from the British royal family, they have repeatedly shared with the public when they believe injustice has happened to them in their lives.
In a scandalous interview, Meghan accused the royals of having speculated about his skin color during her pregnancy with son Archie (4), and Prince Harry also made accusations in his book “Reserve”.
For this year's International Women's Day on March 8th, Meghan reported on bullying during her pregnancies.
Duchess Meghan reported bullying during her pregnancies
Meghan Markle took part in a discussion panel with actress Brooke Shields (58) and journalist Katie Couric (67) on the topic of “Overcoming barriers and challenging stereotypes” at the “South by Southwest” festival in Austin, Texas.
The topic was the public representation of women and Prince Harry supported his wife in the audience.
Meghan Markle reported negative experiences on social media.
The Duchess of Sussex experienced a lot of hate, especially during her pregnancies: "To protect myself, I'm staying away from social media at the moment, but the majority of the bullying I've experienced on social media and online has happened when I was pregnant with Archie and Lili.”
“It’s cruel”: Duchess Meghan affected by hate online
This kind of bullying seemed to leave Meghan somewhat stunned: “Why do people have to be so hateful?
It's not mean, it's cruel." Meghan Markle wondered why people do this at such a vulnerable time when a woman is pregnant or a mother.
According to people.com, Meghan also pointed out that it was often women who attacked other women online.

In her interview with Oprah, which aired in March 2021, Prince Harry's wife had already stated that she had had suicidal thoughts.
The online bullying that she has now revealed may also have contributed to this.
Ultimately, according to “bunte.de”, her maternal instinct won out and she protected herself in order to protect her child.
A British royal insider claims: Meghan “wanted out from the start.”
