”Any woman, especially when they’re pregnant, you’re really vulnerable, and so that was made really challenging,” Meghan confessed to Bradby in the interview, which was filmed in October 2019 in southern Africa.

“You add this on top of just trying to be a new mum or trying to be a newlywed,” Meghan said of the scrutiny and criticism, holding back tears.
