On Twitter, Meghan Markle was criticized by some Internet users for having shared her miscarriage in a column for the New York Times. One tweet in particular stood out to Chrissy Teigen, who spoke up for her.
A fine example of sorority. Wednesday, November 25, in a poignant column written for the New York Times, Meghan Markle revealed that she had miscarried last July. A terrible event that she wanted to share to show her support for women in this situation, but also to raise awareness on the subject. Indeed, although "Out of 100 women, it affects between 10 and 20 of them", the miscarriage remains "Taboo, riddled with shame", believes the Duchess of Sussex.
If his text is moving and honest, it is also very important. Meghan Markle is a very famous personality and followed by millions of people. Her testimony thus makes it possible to make visible a bereavement often suffered in silence… and yet endured by so many women. With her platform, she also inspires other women to share their stories. Talking can be liberating and a step in healing from such drama.

Criticized on Twitter
Unfortunately, that does not prevent Prince Harry's wife from facing many detractors. Sharing your suffering when you are known is inappropriate and egocentric for some. This is what one internet user criticized him on Twitter. In response to a tweet explaining that Meghan Markle won't see the mean comments about him, but other women who have been through this ordeal will, he wrote: "Is anyone really questioning the pain and horror of a miscarriage, or is he criticizing Meghan's decision to write a 1,000-word article about herself?" What does this add to the resources already available for those experiencing such a tragedy? ".
A man who clearly did not understand the need for this kind of text in 2020 and the relief the Duchess of Sussex felt as she wrote it. But also, a man who thinks he knows better than a woman who has endured this tragedy, what women in pain need. Her tweet did not go unnoticed and very quickly Meghan Markle received a wave of support. Chrissy Teigen, who herself suffered a miscarriage last October, also responded. In a tweet, the host called the user idi * t of the year. “The idi * t of the day award goes to Marco Giannangeli. Congratulations, you shit ”, she wrote. Before deleting his tweet and adding: "Sorry, I forgot I had to be nicer lol".
It must be said that these are the kinds of people who keep the taboo around miscarriage … and it is serious. You should never be ashamed or afraid to talk about it, even if it is through a 10,000 word text about your story. You have the right to do whatever you want to heal from this tragedy, and no one can judge you.
