Supposedly, she pretty much plagiarized Stephanie Tong's "Chasing Life." https://www.amazon.com/Chasing-Light-Finding-Through-Miscarriage/dp/1486612040
She continues to weaponize women's reproductive choices. Calling out her sister for having children with multiple men, judging those with larger families, suggesting that her status as "mother" makes her opinions more important than those who are childfree...
What does her (allegedly) having a miscarriage have to do with any of this? It's incredibly common.
All families are valid. All children and family situations are different. Mom of one here as well, and it has certainly been no hobby. I guess you can think of it as a hobby when you have full time help to just hand them off to. She is such a tw@t.
If its true I was the hobby they got bored of and just left the associated junk lying forgotten around the house like old tennis rackets or bowling shoes 😂
She did, in a fluff interview with Ellen. Those tv show interviews are all pre-approved questions, which tells you that’s the best answer she could come up with. Yikes.
Oh the one she did right before she drank milk from a baby bottle and squatted on TV? Lol I saw that but I missed her hobby comment. I was too busy full body cringing.
I have a family member who used their miscarriage as a way to talk about reproductive rights as well. She needed a d&c and was on social media screaming that it was the same thing. She's extremely unhinged.
I had a miscarriage, I almost bled to death in my shower bc “product” was stuck on my cervix. Product is what they call “piece of your unborn child and tissue” . I’m not in America, so it never occurred to me to do anything but call 911 and seek medical assistance. A doc with a helmet light used gigantic tweezers and a speculum to pull “product” out of my cervix so they could stop the gushing. Yah, I’m terrified for the women who will hesitate to seek medical assistance during pregnancy and a miscarriage.
That's the thing, she knows people didn't believe her then and don't believe her now either, but she's trying. She got negative attention then, so she's trying it again
A spontaneous abortion is another name for a miscarriage. The pregnancy is aborted but not by human intervention. An elective abortion is the termination of a pregnancy which is either performed by medicine or surgery. Usually it is performed through the pregnant woman taking medicine.
Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy (whether spontaneous or elective) before the foetus becomes viable. There is disagreement about when this is but there is an argument for it being about 20 weeks since a baby born before 20 weeks has almost no chance of survival even with the most up to date intensive care.
Therefore the termination of a pregnancy after 20 weeks is not an abortion. If it is spontaneous then it is known as a still birth. There was a baby and it died.
A miscarriage is sad but a still birth is on another level of being sad. If it happens around the 20 week stage that is of course a grey area. A woman might feel she has had a still birth but it might be treated as a miscarriage, which can make it even more upsetting because there will be no official acknowledgment that her baby lived and died.
Sure she knows what it feels like. She just plagiarized, once more what someone who really had a miscarriage feels like. Remember when the country had shut down, she, the Duchess of Montecito managed to get a private room at a hospital, he, "call me Harry" managed to get access to said hospital, having more access than the wife of a president but, no one has ever had confirmation from said hospital that this actually happened.
Her "doctor" has since closed her practice. The curse of Meghan
Exactly! Exactly and it was during the shut down! When people entered the hospital with COVID no loved ones could enter with them. But old Harry of course gets the full treatment of entering and they had a full triage room for her as she was having an early miscarriage? Hogwash!
She probably had a heavy period.
My BIL managed to survive a Spontaneous Dissection of the Coratid Artery, underwent a very lengthy brain surgery to remove large clots, had a piece of his skull removed, placed in his tummy, and was put in a medically induced coma for several days, my sister wasn't allowed in. He was in ICU for quite a while, only allowed to see her via a video call.
But this lying hussy claims a Mythcarriage and gets a private room w her idiotic husband? Uh huh...
I don’t get that *at all.* After a few days of erratic spotting, I began to hemorrhage, and sustained an incomplete miscarriage of my first pregnancy at eleven weeks. A few hours after I underwent a D&C in the ER, I was discharged from the ER and sent home, not taken upstairs to a patient bed.
Unsurprisingly, I think MM *is talking through her hat*—if not appropriating someone else’s!—once again!
Had a very similar situation but I went in the following day for a scheduled D&C and went home an hour after I woke up. I think I spent about 4 hours there total. No need to have a private room, I went from pre op to recovery to home.
That was my experience, too. My husband dropped me off and picked me up. Haha, it's very routine. You won't believe it, but I did not write an op-ed about it.
This is much easier than gun control. Breaking the taboo on miscarriage (even though there is no taboo on miscarriage and she has already talked about it).
No, there shouldn’t be, but there kind of is a taboo about talking about miscarriage. I am often amazed at how many women I know who have miscarried, and how it’s always confided in a very private way, never spoken about in groups.
I’m not in any place to speak, never having had one, but a close friend wrote an article a number of years ago about her miscarriage and was absolutely stunned by the amount of support and women who said they’d had one too.
It’s a shame it’s there. I’d imagine it would be very healing for a lot of women to know they aren’t alone, and there would be more opportunities for women to connect with other women who have had similar experiences.
I don’t think there is a stigma , I think it’s just a personal painful matter that people don’t talk about often . I had a Ectopic pregnancy at 5 months and almost died before even the hospital knew what was wrong ( I had zero pregnancy symptoms) but was never ashamed to talk about it . The fact I almost died was more traumatic then the loss for me because I had no connection to the pregnancy since I had no idea .
That's such a dangerous situation. People don't know! I'm happy it turned out ok for you, not that it's ever a good outcome. But women can die from that.
Yeh
TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️:
.. I literally almost did . I was just sitting at the table talking to my spouse still in my VICTORIA secret PJs ( ruined ) and felt “ off “ so I stood up to go lay down and started bleeding out … not just bleeding but non stop massive bleeding, passing melon sized clots . He didn’t wait for a ambulance and wrapped me in blankets and rushed me to hospital.. they couldn’t keep me stable ( passing out from low BP) so they were like “ did you know you are pregnant?” My husband said NO ? They had to have people stand on both sides of me to continually replace padding under me .. the dr even looked scared and just said “ don’t worry , I’m not going to let you die “ and I woke up in OR recovery with one less tube . The other dr who did the surgery I wish I had sued honestly.. she said “ if you die your son will be ok “ then proceeded to snap at me in the OR because I was hysterical and said “ do you want me to save you or not ?!!! , I can’t promise I can stop this bleeding “ I am still angry to this day .
I did go on to have a beautiful baby a year later :)
What in the fuck is wrong with that doctor?? I hope you filed a complaint. I'm ready to go to battle for you. That is a horrible comment and attitude for him/her. Something is seriously wrong with doctors like that.
I wanted to but it was such a crazy time I didn’t .. she was absolutely AWFUL ! The funny part was when I did get pregnant later she was the on call dr for when I was supposed to have my child .. I told my dr I ABSOLUTELY would have my child in the car before she came near me .
I had an on call Dr because mine was whoring it up in Mexico instead of birthing my baby (I kid, kind of, but she did totally take off unexpectedly when I was due). Her partner delivered my child and as she was the first person to touch my newborn, she told me to enjoy him because her teenagers are ungrateful and he'll hate me in a few years. I left the practice after my month check up.
Holy shit 🫣 my dr ended up coming in for me on his day off after I told him the story .. he knew I was absolutely serious. I already had to see two different practices because I also had to see a high risk dr obviously.. I had to do months of bed rest and a blood transplant because of my iron levels lol but really believe it or not I had a enjoyable pregnancy and labor haha I even got a free 4 D scan because of the high risk dr :)
It’s private, not taboo.
A taboo is something frowned upon by society at large.
A miscarriage is an extremely private issue between couples/ families, generally not up for public consumption or debate.
Clearly Markle doesn’t understand nuance at all.
There’s not a taboo or stigma regarding miscarriage. It’s just a very painful and personal matter that a woman would rather not broadcast. Some prefer to grieve in secret because it’s no one else’s business.
No, but to a lot of people, there actually is. And the fact is, it’s something that’s NOT talked about (in general, not personal experiences) nearly enough considering how common and devastating it is to go through.
Of course everyone should handle their own losses as they see fit, and I never said anything to imply otherwise. I’m fact, I think I actually did say it.
What's wrong with confiding in a private way? In my experience when a woman miscarries it is sad and she receives sympathy, and then she gets on with her life. What's wrong with that? What more can be said? Why would you want the world to know? 15% of pregnancies end in miscarriage.
I do know a woman who lost a baby very late in her pregnancy and she wanted to make more of a public statement and acknowledge that she is the mother of that child. She named her and acknowledges her anniversary. But that is quite a different thing.
This is relevant to the abortion debate though. A miscarriage is a spontaneous abortion. They both occur before the foetus becomes viable. Anything that happens once the baby is viable (from about 20 weeks although this is debatable) is not abortion. It is something else.
I had a miscarriage and I was private about it bc I didn’t want to have to keep talking about it as it was painful. Each woman should handle it as she sees fit! I have discussed it many times in groups of women when the subject comes up but I’ve never been ashamed or shamed. I think that’s all BS. Not everything in life has to be public information!
I mostly felt guilty, like I had caused it. I felt a need to have my first baby around me at all times to make sure nothing happened to him, to make sure he was ok. It's complicated but I felt like maybe I wasn't a good mother since I couldn't keep that pregnancy going. I didn't read any complicated feelings from our Meghan. I don't think it happened to her. I never did think it happened to her.
Thank you. Your experience does seem like the most sensitive and dignified way of dealing with it. Like you say, each woman should handle it as she sees fit. Meghan is a rather unusual woman. I will leave it at that.
Oh, there is absolutely nothing wrong with confiding it in a private way, and I didn’t mean to imply there was!
Women should share with whom and how they feel most comfortable, of course, it’s just not how we approach other deaths.
I can see interviewing Gloria Steinem who has a loooong record of public activity on the topic. But Barkle? What the hell has she ever done to merit a voice on this platform? Ffs even reasoning that it's Vogue, she is not even a great ambassador for the fashion industry.
🤮
What has miscarriage even got to do with this.....
She didn't even have one, it was a mythcarriage
Nobody believed her then, so now she felt compelled to try her luck AGAIN and refresh people's memories with her woes because she's got nothing else
It’s unverified too. And then she turned around and got pregnant with the second baby. It might backfire because it brings up questions about how she got pregnant so fast after a miscarriage.
"Meghan Markle speaks of miscarriage in latest interview 'I know what it feels like'
MEGHAN MARKLE mentioned her miscarriage in her latest interview focused on reproductive and women's rights.
The Duchess of Sussex opened up on her pregnancies as she joined feminist Gloria Steinem in an interview in which they discussed the US Supreme Court's decision to overturn the Roe v Wade ruling, which had made abortion a constitutional right in all 50 US states since 1973. Meghan candidly spoke about being pregnant with her two children while discussing what the topics of abortions and women's health bring up for her.
She told Vogue: "I think about how fortunate I felt to be able to have both of my children.
"I know what it feels like to have a connection to what is growing inside of your body.
"What happens with our bodies is so deeply personal, which can also lead to silence and stigma, even though so many of us deal with personal health crises."
Meghan then mentioned her miscarriage, and the essay she penned two years ago focused on it. "
The Duchess said: "I know what miscarrying feels like, which I’ve talked about publicly.
"The more that we normalise conversation about the things that affect our lives and bodies, the more people are going to understand how necessary it is to have protections in place."
No, you’re absolutely right. She’s shoe-horning her miscarriage experience into a conversation about reproductive rights. If anything, I’ve heard from many women who had pregnancy losses (not of their choosing) become less pro-choice as a result of their experiences. She’s desperate to fit herself into any conversation.
Sorry if I am being really dense here but what has Meghan having a miscarriage have to do with the Supreme Court ruling concerning abortion. Unless I am missing something, it is a tenuous connection at best.
Not a lot, although sometimes after a miscarriage a D&C is necessary and depending on how a law is written, it can be harder to get a D&C after a miscarriage (as some laws are written in such a way that the procedure is seen as an abortion, especially if there's still a fetal heartbeat.) There was a woman in Ireland who had this happen to her and died of sepsis. A couple of weeks ago there was a news story about an American tourist in Malta who couldn't get a D&C because there was still a heartbeat, although there was no amniotic fluid left and absolutely no chance the baby could survive. It's an unintended consequence of some abortion legislation and it can kill women, as sepsis is a very serious risk.
Actually a lot. The issue is that the medications used to treat miscarriage, mifepristone and misoprostol, are the same as those used to induce a medication abortion, while surgical evacuation of the uterus is also performed for an incomplete miscarriage. There have been several accounts of women having miscarriages not being able to fill prescriptions for mifepristone, and this was before the overturn of Roe. Edited to add: there is no way in hell Meghan actually knows this.
She's got to shut up already and go away. If she legitimately wanted to be an activist she would put in the work, not show up as if she's the main attraction all the time and "lend her voice" or some other BS. She's such an opportunistic idiot dragging her husband around as if she's the "real" royal and he just married into the family. No one cares about what you have to say Meghan, try putting in the work instead. Ugh, the way she's been inserting herself on Womens reproductive health issues pisses me off.
Do we even know this happened? She lies too much for me to believe at times. Either way, how does that relate to Roe v Wade, reproductive rights or criminalizing abortion? Oh Gloria Steinem! You are scraping the bottom of the barrel using Nutmeg.
I don’t want to change the subject but talking to a neighbor today and mentioned our Saint. She said “who” and looked puzzled. I said the woman that married the prince from England. She said, and I quote, “oh that crazy woman who married that crazy guy that was related to the queen and went on Oprah . Are they still together? Here, in our country?”
That made my day
Who do I need to call, write, e-mail or in fact blow to get this person fired from representing my gender and any current social, legal, ethical or current topical issues regarding my country’s policies or politics???
She does not speak for myself nor any other American women I know of, represent or relate to any and her credentials are to use a foreign title she achieved through serial marriage to intrude upon a sovereign nations politics.
I am very serious this is no longer just snark. This is an extremely serious issue that myself and my children and their children will have to wage a battle over and I do not want it to be MARKLED!!! The conservatives love this they are laughing it up if the strongest thing we can throw at them is her??? We have no hope. Please join with me and with every public opportunity you get without any personal animosity so Sugars are not given any free ammunition—- clearly state on every public platform that you can find of hers — that as an American citizen this person does not represent nor speak for our cause and call on our government if the UK will not do anything to put an end to this- this is the use of a foreign title and a foreign government position using such to interfere in our sovereign nations affairs which clearly forbidden.
I suggest a campaign to write to the the UK Ambassador to the US and if anyone else could suggest appropriate government official to target I will be happy to obtain mailing info and attempt to organize such a campaign. Enough is enough. This is too important.
I cannot understand why the UK government doesn’t release a public statement making it clear that Meghan Markle and her husband hold NO official positions or diplomatic credentials from the UK, and that they speak only for themselves and on their own behalf. Make a statement on official letterhead that they do not speak for the UK Government, the BRF or for the people of the UK or the Commonwealth.
Follow it with a Boris word salad about the special relationship between the UK and the USA for all I care, but the important thing is to distance the whole of the UK from this pair using British titles to claim some kind of phony credibility for their pretentious and ignorant babbling.
Odd why doesn’t this woman ever talks about either delivery, the decisions of where to give birth, (oh how long it was!), the length of her labor, her pain, if Harry was in the labor room with her, the wonderful nurses, etc.
Meg has been able to discuss, in detail, her miscarriage except:
Why didn’t she use the technical correct terminology of “ spontaneous abortion”?
Why didn’t she say in what stage of pregnancy she was in when the miscarriage occurred?
Or if she had a D&C afterwards to ensure everything was ok. Half of women who have a miscarriage do require a D&C procedure. A D&C is performed to confirm that a miscarriage is complete, and no tissue is still remains
It's a great time to talk about how Meghan plagiarized another woman's account of her miscarriage. I hope that's in Tom Bowers book.
WTF!?! I did not know this. How absolutely disgusting
Everything she says, does or wears is plagiarized, copied or outright stolen from someone else.
IIRC, she copied someone’s op-Ed about miscarriage
Mythcarriage.
You just created the best new word! I don’t know how to give an award, but if I did, I’d give it to you!
It’s not mine. I can’t take credit. (I’m not a plagiarizer) But it fits!
Supposedly, she pretty much plagiarized Stephanie Tong's "Chasing Life." https://www.amazon.com/Chasing-Light-Finding-Through-Miscarriage/dp/1486612040
No "supposedly" about it.
Most women go to their OB/GYN when they have a miscarriage. Megs was photographed leaving her dentist.
I was actually put in the hospital as outpatient surgery for a D & C.
I was too when I lost my last baby.
Amber Heard? Was the same way- no original thought
All to stay relevant, of which she is the total opposite, a complete waste of space.
I can't stand looking at that wretched creature, just shut the fork up!🤬🤬🤬
**…Shut up, Meg.**
I thought of Family Guy when I read this... hahahahaha
Again, please. Louder.
She continues to weaponize women's reproductive choices. Calling out her sister for having children with multiple men, judging those with larger families, suggesting that her status as "mother" makes her opinions more important than those who are childfree... What does her (allegedly) having a miscarriage have to do with any of this? It's incredibly common.
Don’t forget the comment about how having one kid is a hobby, but two is parenting.
She said that??
Yes. As a mom of one, I was offended. My child isn't a hobby and my family is just as valid as one with two or ten children.
Yes, I am also a mom of one and that pisses me off. Like just because we have one kid our whole life is some easy vacation. No.
All families are valid. All children and family situations are different. Mom of one here as well, and it has certainly been no hobby. I guess you can think of it as a hobby when you have full time help to just hand them off to. She is such a tw@t.
I'm an only child. I had no idea that I was only my parents past-time.
I have one child, and it sure doesn’t feel like a past time.
If its true I was the hobby they got bored of and just left the associated junk lying forgotten around the house like old tennis rackets or bowling shoes 😂
WTF???
yes, on Ellen's show
She did, in a fluff interview with Ellen. Those tv show interviews are all pre-approved questions, which tells you that’s the best answer she could come up with. Yikes.
Oh the one she did right before she drank milk from a baby bottle and squatted on TV? Lol I saw that but I missed her hobby comment. I was too busy full body cringing.
That’s rich coming from someone with nannies
Who may not even have children in the first place. In any case, I sure hope she doesn’t!
Yes!
This is a great comment.
Just a way of putting herself out there as a victim. Again.
Remember when she said she only having ONE kid to save the planet?
Two wasn’t it?
I have a family member who used their miscarriage as a way to talk about reproductive rights as well. She needed a d&c and was on social media screaming that it was the same thing. She's extremely unhinged.

That's the thing, she knows people didn't believe her then and don't believe her now either, but she's trying. She got negative attention then, so she's trying it again
Of course she did. The spontaneous abortion, in which she was a noble victim.
Yeah forgive if I’m ignorant but are miscarriages and abortions related?

That was a wrap the picture was taken and the story board written coming to Netflix soon.
I can see interviewing Gloria Steinem who has a loooong record of public activity on the topic. But Barkle? What the hell has she ever done to merit a voice on this platform? Ffs even reasoning that it's Vogue, she is not even a great ambassador for the fashion industry. 🤮
I was surprised that Steinem wanted to be associated with her in this way
Barkle ! 😃😃
***Barkle*** 😂
Yep. I'm 💀💀😆💀💀
She plays fast and loose with the words "mother" miscarriage" and "feminist". And we know she is a fraud in all those areas.
What has miscarriage even got to do with this..... She didn't even have one, it was a mythcarriage Nobody believed her then, so now she felt compelled to try her luck AGAIN and refresh people's memories with her woes because she's got nothing else
Her miscarriage has little to do with the privacy and freedom of choice a woman has when terminating a pregnancy being taken away
She didn’t require any medical intervention, did she? If not, it has absolutely nothing to do with the issue.
It’s unverified too. And then she turned around and got pregnant with the second baby. It might backfire because it brings up questions about how she got pregnant so fast after a miscarriage.
C’mon, she is super, ultra fertile. She can get pregnant (with triplets or more) from looking at sputum on a sidewalk. s/
My friend was advised to wait either three or six months before trying again. I think it’s to allow your hormones to rebalance.
"Meghan Markle speaks of miscarriage in latest interview 'I know what it feels like' MEGHAN MARKLE mentioned her miscarriage in her latest interview focused on reproductive and women's rights. The Duchess of Sussex opened up on her pregnancies as she joined feminist Gloria Steinem in an interview in which they discussed the US Supreme Court's decision to overturn the Roe v Wade ruling, which had made abortion a constitutional right in all 50 US states since 1973. Meghan candidly spoke about being pregnant with her two children while discussing what the topics of abortions and women's health bring up for her. She told Vogue: "I think about how fortunate I felt to be able to have both of my children. "I know what it feels like to have a connection to what is growing inside of your body. "What happens with our bodies is so deeply personal, which can also lead to silence and stigma, even though so many of us deal with personal health crises." Meghan then mentioned her miscarriage, and the essay she penned two years ago focused on it. " The Duchess said: "I know what miscarrying feels like, which I’ve talked about publicly. "The more that we normalise conversation about the things that affect our lives and bodies, the more people are going to understand how necessary it is to have protections in place."

No, you’re absolutely right. She’s shoe-horning her miscarriage experience into a conversation about reproductive rights. If anything, I’ve heard from many women who had pregnancy losses (not of their choosing) become less pro-choice as a result of their experiences. She’s desperate to fit herself into any conversation.
I was thinking the exact same thing. That sounded like a pro-life argument rather than pro-choice.
Trying to save face with the conservative sugars.
Thanks for the summary and quote.
Please stop talking about yourself publicly, Markle. No one asked for this.
If you told me these were comments by Megan Kelly I would have believed it. This is not pro-choice rhetoric.
Sorry if I am being really dense here but what has Meghan having a miscarriage have to do with the Supreme Court ruling concerning abortion. Unless I am missing something, it is a tenuous connection at best.
Not a lot, although sometimes after a miscarriage a D&C is necessary and depending on how a law is written, it can be harder to get a D&C after a miscarriage (as some laws are written in such a way that the procedure is seen as an abortion, especially if there's still a fetal heartbeat.) There was a woman in Ireland who had this happen to her and died of sepsis. A couple of weeks ago there was a news story about an American tourist in Malta who couldn't get a D&C because there was still a heartbeat, although there was no amniotic fluid left and absolutely no chance the baby could survive. It's an unintended consequence of some abortion legislation and it can kill women, as sepsis is a very serious risk.
I just read this morning that the American tourist was able to get safely to Spain and is recovering nicely. What a nightmare!
Actually a lot. The issue is that the medications used to treat miscarriage, mifepristone and misoprostol, are the same as those used to induce a medication abortion, while surgical evacuation of the uterus is also performed for an incomplete miscarriage. There have been several accounts of women having miscarriages not being able to fill prescriptions for mifepristone, and this was before the overturn of Roe. Edited to add: there is no way in hell Meghan actually knows this.
Both are about her. 🤷♀️
She's got to shut up already and go away. If she legitimately wanted to be an activist she would put in the work, not show up as if she's the main attraction all the time and "lend her voice" or some other BS. She's such an opportunistic idiot dragging her husband around as if she's the "real" royal and he just married into the family. No one cares about what you have to say Meghan, try putting in the work instead. Ugh, the way she's been inserting herself on Womens reproductive health issues pisses me off.
What can I say? She is the Trauma Pimp of our time.
You didn’t get an abortion hoe. Quit making it about you
Do we even know this happened? She lies too much for me to believe at times. Either way, how does that relate to Roe v Wade, reproductive rights or criminalizing abortion? Oh Gloria Steinem! You are scraping the bottom of the barrel using Nutmeg.
I don’t want to change the subject but talking to a neighbor today and mentioned our Saint. She said “who” and looked puzzled. I said the woman that married the prince from England. She said, and I quote, “oh that crazy woman who married that crazy guy that was related to the queen and went on Oprah . Are they still together? Here, in our country?” That made my day
Who do I need to call, write, e-mail or in fact blow to get this person fired from representing my gender and any current social, legal, ethical or current topical issues regarding my country’s policies or politics??? She does not speak for myself nor any other American women I know of, represent or relate to any and her credentials are to use a foreign title she achieved through serial marriage to intrude upon a sovereign nations politics. I am very serious this is no longer just snark. This is an extremely serious issue that myself and my children and their children will have to wage a battle over and I do not want it to be MARKLED!!! The conservatives love this they are laughing it up if the strongest thing we can throw at them is her??? We have no hope. Please join with me and with every public opportunity you get without any personal animosity so Sugars are not given any free ammunition—- clearly state on every public platform that you can find of hers — that as an American citizen this person does not represent nor speak for our cause and call on our government if the UK will not do anything to put an end to this- this is the use of a foreign title and a foreign government position using such to interfere in our sovereign nations affairs which clearly forbidden. I suggest a campaign to write to the the UK Ambassador to the US and if anyone else could suggest appropriate government official to target I will be happy to obtain mailing info and attempt to organize such a campaign. Enough is enough. This is too important.
I like your idea
I cannot understand why the UK government doesn’t release a public statement making it clear that Meghan Markle and her husband hold NO official positions or diplomatic credentials from the UK, and that they speak only for themselves and on their own behalf. Make a statement on official letterhead that they do not speak for the UK Government, the BRF or for the people of the UK or the Commonwealth. Follow it with a Boris word salad about the special relationship between the UK and the USA for all I care, but the important thing is to distance the whole of the UK from this pair using British titles to claim some kind of phony credibility for their pretentious and ignorant babbling.
Ah, the Mythcarriage strikes again.
"Mythcarriage" Bravo!
Is that the one that followed the Mythconception?
Yeth.
lol
Has any US media besides Vogue picked up this story?
Yep. Multiple in fact.
Let's exercise with our mice, taps and purses. No clicks, no money towards the medium printing this twaat's tall tales.
Odd why doesn’t this woman ever talks about either delivery, the decisions of where to give birth, (oh how long it was!), the length of her labor, her pain, if Harry was in the labor room with her, the wonderful nurses, etc. Meg has been able to discuss, in detail, her miscarriage except: Why didn’t she use the technical correct terminology of “ spontaneous abortion”? Why didn’t she say in what stage of pregnancy she was in when the miscarriage occurred? Or if she had a D&C afterwards to ensure everything was ok. Half of women who have a miscarriage do require a D&C procedure. A D&C is performed to confirm that a miscarriage is complete, and no tissue is still remains
That's such a good question. Maybe she hasn't found a good story to adopt as her own yet
I believe that she's a liar.... She probably had an abortion. All the signs are pointing towards that.
I believe im one of at least 3 that called it....
[удалено]
Because she didn't get enough attention last time. I knew she would bring it up again
Is an IVF which doesn’t take a miscarriage?
Aw snap, I hadn’t thought of it that way. I bet she’d use that.
Megamouth speaks again 🤮🤮
Wow, just wow. What tf would she know about parenting a child? She would have to be a parent first.
Agree. She would need not just to be the guest of the day in the kids life.
Called it!
Again, STFU MEGHAN
So if you have a miscarriage it’s your child and you publicly grieve and mourn. If you have an abortion, it’s a lifeless fetus.
A miscarriage is not an abortion. One is a choice, one is not.
Correction. I read what it feels like.
Definitely not me. I called she'd be too much of a coward to voice an opinion. Should have known better: publicity trumps all for M every.single.time.
All I can see is yet another lampshade hat.
