During a panel discussion on Friday, Meghan said: 'You just think about that. And you have to really wrap your head around why people would be so hateful. It's not catty, it's cruel. Why you would do that. And certainly when you're pregnant or you have a newborn, we all as mums, you know it's such a tender and sacred time.'
The duchess added that social media tended to depict unrealistic portrayals of motherhood: 'We all know it's not perfect. We all know that it's messy'.
