The royal family has strike rules, which are generally respected unless Meghan Markle, of course . One of them is the tradition of the photo set with the newborn, a few hours after birth. If Meghan Markle refused to be photographed with her son a few hours after his birth, Kate Middleton has done it three times.
In an interview on the "Happy Mum, Happy Baby" podcast, Kate revealed that the first time was "terrible." "Yeah, it was a little scary, I'm not going to lie."
?Everyone was very supportive and William and I were aware that it was something that everyone was excited about and you know we are extremely grateful for the support the public has given us and we really wanted to share that moment with them . But at the same time I had a newborn baby in my arms and being inexperienced parents, the feeling was mixed with insecurity. I had mixed emotions. ?
There have been a few people who have spoken openly against this early tradition of the royal family, because putting on makeup, wearing prescriptions and staying on heels for hours after giving birth to a baby is "inhumane."
Keira Knightley, for example, was not at all enthralled by Kate Middleton's public appearance after the birth of little Charlotte. In writer Scarlett Cutis's book, "Feminists Don't Wear Pink," the actress wrote a letter titled "Poor Sex", comparing how she looked and acted after childbirth and how she appeared, whose daughter was born the day after the girl. of the artist.
"Seven hours later she was out of the hospital dyed and on her heels. The world wants to see. Hide our pain, aching body, leaking chest, furious hormones, look beautiful, elegant, don't show what you have removed, Kate. Seven hours after your struggle with life and death, seven hours after your body cracks, bleeds and where the call to life goes out. Do not tell. Don't say a thing. Stay there with your daughter and take pictures of a pack of male photographers. My shoes stick with yesterday's ammonia juice. They smell. I remember excrement, vomiting, blood, and stitches. I remember my battlefield. Your battlefield and life throb. Survival. Am I poor sex? Are you?"
In October 2019, Meghan Markle confessed to the challenges of motherhood and the fact that "no one asks how you are after birth." Many Albanian women found themselves in her words.
