The constant backlash and scrutiny that the Duchess of Sussex has been forced to cope with makes your overbearing mother-in-law look like an angel. In an upcoming ITV documentary , journalist Tom Bradby had a chance to ask Meghan how she has been feeling.
“Any woman, especially when they’re pregnant, you’re really vulnerable and so that was made really challenging,” Meghan said. “And especially as a woman, it’s really, it’s a lot. So you add this on top of just trying to be a new mum or trying to be a newlywed.”
Meghan added: “And, also thank you for asking, because not many people have asked if I’m OK. But it’s a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes.”
