Women praise Meghan Markle for opening up about miscarriage

November 25, 2020 20:36

Social media users are conveying their solidarity and support for Meghan Markle, after she revealed in a moving essay for the New York Times that she had suffered a miscarriage earlier this year.

The Duchess of Sussex stated that she felt something was wrong while she was holding her first child with Prince Harry, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

After changing his diaper, I felt a sharp cramp, she wrote. "I dropped to the floor with him in my arms, humming a lullaby to keep us both calm, the cheerful tune a stark contrast to my sense that something was not right. I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second.

Losing a child means carrying an almost unbearable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few, she describes.

Women have since taken to Twitter with their support and appreciation of the Duchess for sharing her story.

Best-selling Australian author Nikki Gemmell praised the Duchesss honesty on a devastating loss too rarely discussed. Helping others whove gone through it.

Podcaster, author and journalist Elizabeth Day has also spoken out in support of Meghan and Prince Harry, while also stating how grateful she was to the Duchess and Chrissy Teigen for talking openly about their experience of miscarriage.

Chrissy Teigen and the Duchess of Sussex speaking openly about something that historically has given women so much pain, shame and trauma, is a game-changing step, she posted on Twitter.

Author and travel writer Monisha Rajesh commended Meghans decision to speak out in the face of online abuse. That Meghan Markle could write about her miscarriage knowing that it would add fuel to the fire of the demons who want her demise, makes her even more of a queen, she tweeted.

Some have criticised Meghans move to open up about the truth of her miscarriage, tweeting that they dont care and calling her attention-seeking and a professional victim, suggesting that she lacks a soul or that the piece was written by her aides.
