Meghan Markle Once Again Attacked For Always Cradling Baby Bump In Public

Meghan Markle has been seen holding her baby bump in several photos and netizens may have too much of it already.

The Duchess of Sussex was attacked by online trolls following her appearance at British Fashion Awards 2018 where she was photographed cradling her baby bump with two hands. Many hate the way Markle kept on touching her stomach in public.

"#meghan, we know you are pregnant. You can stop holding onto the bump with both hands now. It won’t fall off," one netizen wrote on Twitter.

Another user agreed that seeing Markle touching her baby bump is annoying. However, many also stood up to defend the pregnant royal.

One user stressed that Markle is also aware that she is pregnant and if it’s her way to manage her discomfort, then the trolls should just leave her be. The user advised others to not just look at Markle’s photos if they don’t like it.

This isn’t the first time Markle faced the same criticism. When the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were still in Sydney, Markle kept on touching her baby bump following their pregnancy announcement. At the time, Markle’s growing baby bump was still not as visible.

A number accused Markle of seeking public attention for always rubbing her stomach. One netizen said that she was already sick of seeing Markle always touching her "nonexistent baby bump in every picture."

Meanwhile, another netizen compared Markle to Kate Middleton when the Duchess of Cambridge was still expecting. According to the user, in Middleton’s three pregnancies there were only a couple of photos featuring Prince William’s wife touching her baby bump.

Prince Harry and Markle may welcome their firstborn in the first quarter of next year. Odds suggest the upcoming royal baby is due in April.

When Kensington Palace announced that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were expecting, they didn’t confirm how far along Markle was. The palace only announced that the duchess is due in spring of 2019.

On the other hand, Princess Diana’s psychic friend Debbie Frank suggested another due date. According to her, she couldn’t say exactly when Markle will give birth, but the baby will likely be born earlier than late April.
