Meghan Markle has left people heartbroken as she revealed how she received ‘hatred’ while she was pregnant with her children, Archie and Lilibet.

The Duchess of Sussex stunned everyone when she arrived at SXSW festival to discuss ‘breaking barriers and challenging stereotypes.’

During the discussion, the mother-of-two claimed that she faced cyber-bullying while she was pregnant.

“I keep my distance from it right now for my wellbeing but the bulk of the bullying and abuse I was experiencing in social media and online was when I was pregnant with Archie and with Lili, and with a newborn, with each of them,” Meghan expressed.

“You just think about that and to wrap your head about why people would be so hateful. It’s not catty it’s cruel. Why you would do that when you’re pregnant or as a mom it’s such a tender and sacred time.”

The duchess went on and said that a pregnant woman experiencing it could succumb to it.

“Maybe because I was pregnant that mammalian instinct just kicks in to do everything you can to protect your child and as a result protect yourself too,” she added.

Her husband Prince Harry was seen cheering for her from the front row.

The appearance is the latest of public engagements by the Sussexes.
