The Duchess of Sussex has
given a candid new interview to Vogue in which she spoke about her
two pregnancies and her husband, Prince Harry.
Meghan sat down along with
Gloria Steinem just two days after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade to
speak to Jessica Yellin about the seismic event. And Meghan spoke very openly
about her reaction.
Asked what she would say to
men who support reproductive rights, the mom-of-two replied: “Men need to
be vocal in this moment and beyond because these are decisions that affect
relationships, families, and communities at large.
“They may target women,
but the consequences impact all of us. My husband and I talked about that a lot
over the past few days. He’s a feminist too.”
Gloria then added: “Yes –
I can testify to that since I met him before I met you. He was at a big meeting
I attended and he was advocating for people’s rights.”

Meghan continued: “And
his reaction last week was guttural, like mine. I know that for so many women
right now, there is a sentiment of despair. But again, we have to band together
and not wallow. We have to do the work.”
Meghan – who shares Archie,
three, and Lilibet, one, with Harry – also spoke about the importance of normalizing
conversations about abortions and women’s health. “I think about how
fortunate I felt to be able to have both of my children,” she shared.
“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. I know what miscarrying
feels like, which I’ve talked about publicly.
“The more that we normalize the 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.”
