Has Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, been experiencing insecurities about her post-baby body? While royal observers believe she has yet to shed some more of the baby weight to return to her pre-pregnancy body, her husband assures her that she still looks amazing.
During a royal engagement at the WellChild Awards, Duchess Meghan was complimented for looking great after having a baby by some of the guests. Prince Harry reportedly remarked that it is what he's been telling his wife, suggesting that Duchess Meghan may have had some concerns about her post-baby body.
A few months back, Meghan Markle was heavily criticized during first royal outing just a month after she had Archie Harrison. At the Trooping the Colour to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's birthday, some royal observers shamed Duchess Meghan's chubby cheeks and heavy bags under her eyes. The public thought Duchess Meghan suffered bouts of sleeplessness because of her tired eyes and speculated she couldn't start with her fitness regimen as she was taking care of a newborn.
However, other fans say that Meghan Markle is a "realistic example" of mothers trying to lost weight after having a child. Reports revealed that she did not attempt to shed the pounds so hurriedly since she's not stressing over her weight gain.
Some royal fans complimented Duchess Meghan for not trying to make her body appear as though she has never given birth. In contrast, her sister-in-law Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, instantly returned to her very slim frame weeks after having a baby.
Duchess Kate's figure remained slim thin even after having three children. To be fair, she also didn't gain weight as much when she was pregnant with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Prince William's wife also experienced hyperemesis gravidarum, an extreme form of morning sickness, in all of her pregnancies. One of the side effects of this condition is weight loss during the first trimester of the pregnancy.
Meanwhile, despite what critics say, Meghan Markle seems to be regaining her previous figure back five months since giving birth. She was able to wear and recycle the dresses she used to wear during the first few months of her pregnancy.
The former TV star also appeared to be slimmer while stepping out to return to her royal duties once she completed her maternity leave. Meghan Markle was looking gorgeous in simple slacks and an oversized polo shirt while working on her Smart Works fashion collection.
