On Friday, ITV news released a clip from an upcoming documentary which showed Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, holding back tears as she acknowledged the challenges she's faced as a newlywed and mother in the spotlight.
"Thank you for asking. Not many people have asked if I'm OK, but it's a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes," she said, before confirming, in the words of her interviewer, that she "isn't really OK."
It's no surprise that Meghan is struggling. Our society's lack of concern for the well-being of new moms is terribly disturbing — and it's even worse for her as a royal.

Poor Princess!
I feel so badly now, not appreciating the very tight finances, the complete lack of any outside help, and having the joy of doing everything myself, sun up to sun down, while my kids were young. My husband also did not appreciate the joy of working double shifts to make ends meet and pay for our “palace”, so I could stay home with the kids.....we were such ingrates. Shame on us.
I have ten children. Some consideration from one’s own family would have been nice.
From “society,” an offer of a seat, or maybe a priority when one’s baby is having a really hard time?
There seems to be a lot of sentiment along the lines of, “You chose to have a baby, so to hell with you.”
Concern is muted upon hearing that her dress cost $80,000 dollars or such. that is obscene for a royal who lives off the public dime.
there’s an old curse, may you get what you wish for... she did
a con - Markle knows that being a victim gives you more power.
Prince Harry, the ginger is a low IQ individual, easily manipulated and controlled.
feckless frunt
Markle hired out her own Hollywood press reps etc. and dropped the royal appointed ones in order to “present” her in the light she wants.
All this is well staged......including how she holds her baby.. ...which she likely had lessons on doing after the big dust up she wasn’t doing tht right.
It’s all for show and tell Hollywood style. But the facts are she will never replace the popularity of Kate nor her position. Kate is fulfilling her role....Markle is acting hers.
Actually, I was expecting her to “struggle”. Even Diana and Fergie couldn’t hack it; and, they were born into this system. That B-List actress had absolutely no idea about the amount of protocal that is involved with being a royal. She went into this thinking it would be “Disney”; and, instead, they actually expect her to work, shake hands, go to boring events and smile about it. I see divorce in her future.
Me too. Tears just streaming down my face as I ponder how rough this poor widdle mommy is struggling SOOOO hard with NO ONE around help her.
Except a royal family.
Sheesh!!
I’d like to know why she is struggling.
She doesn’t have to work.
She doesn’t have to worry about if she has enough money to pay the bills.
She doesn’t have to worry about how she’s going to pay the babysitter so she can work.
She doesn’t have to worry about the high price of formula.
She doesn’t have to worry about paying for insurance so when the baby gets sick she can take it to the doctor.
I was a single mom after I kicked the no good dad out and these are the things I worried about.
I’m not worried about Megan Markle. In fact I haven’t given her any thought whatsoever.
Crying on the yacht. How touching. /sarcasm
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Yeah like every new Mom has Nannies and servants and stuff...
SOBBITY SOB SOB
Yea. Last time I left my newborn to jet across an ocean to watch a tennis match, then jet home, it wrenched my guts.
Somewhere in there was a mean thought but I cant figure out what it might have been
;)
They left the baby home to attend a big, fancy wedding in Italy too. Her life is so, so hard.
coupons...
Yes let’s all cry for the royalty’s hardships.
Which she joined voluntarily.
A synonym for woman is complain.
They want it both ways.
As far as putting those ladies “with child” first, I must take that approach with a grain of salt. I see lots of females (of different races) who are “single” mothers, spitting out progeny like jelly beans for the taxpayer to support. Hard to feel empathy for them and put them to the head of any lines when they are raping the USA.
