‘She’s only pregnant – not ill!’: Fury as trolls slam pregnant Meghan for needing a well-deserved re
Meghan Markle has divided opinion after the mother-to-be made the decision to cut back her busy royal tour schedule following an exhausting few days in Australia, Daily Mail reported.
The Duchess, who is three or four months pregnant, unexpectedly missed an appearance with husband Harry to watch a road cycling race today.
She will also not take part in tomorrow's scheduled events on Fraser Island, the palace has said.
Meghan Markle has been treating us daily to her personal style on her trip to Australia with Prince Harry. From Emilia Wickstead to Australian brand Martin Grant, Meghan has been showing us how a modern-day duchess looks and acts on her formal duties. On Sunday, however, the Duchess took it easy in the morning while the Duke of Sussex attended the Invictus Games bike race.
But, by the afternoon, Meghan was back and turned out in a black turtleneck, Outland 'Harriet' jeans, a pair of beloved Aquazzura pumps, then added a striped shoulder bag by Oroton and, what caught our eye, this white linen pinstripe blazer.

Royal watchers were split following the announcement, with some suggesting she was looking for 'sympathy' while others defended the 37-year-old former actor. Some angry Twitter users hit out and said 'pregnancy isn't an illness' and she shouldn't take time off because of it
'Millions of women around the world work through pregnancy with illness because they don't have a choice. It's not news,' one wrote.

Another added: 'she's only pregnant not ill'
While a third wrote: 'I doubt shaking a few hands and lording around Oz is gonna have a detrimental on the pregnancy. Try working in a real public sector business 6 weeks before you give birth. Give us a break from this s*** please.'
But there were many more quick to leap to the Duchess's defence, with one praising her sensible
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: Their story so far
'Of course pregnancy shouldn't be treated as an illness, but my god growing a human can be absolutely exhausting (I was regularly asleep by 8pm in my pregs)
'It's a tiredness deep into your bones. Babies take what they need first, leaving Mum to cope with the scraps that are left.'
Another said: 'it's wise, you could see the exhaustion on her face, although she tried her best to hide it. Nothing is more important right now than the precious little one.'
'it's the jet lag combined with the pregnancy that's difficult to deal with. she is absolutely right to rest' another said.

My view: Meghan Markle is not a spring chicken, she's nearly 40, that's why she's feeling very tired, besides pregnancy is not an illness, it's a blessing. Also It's Meghan's fault, as she wants to prove that she's stronger than her royal friend Kate Middleton, she should have stayed back in London, as there's no need to put herself through the hectic schedule, but she'll rather be there to show off her designer labels. In my previous article I wrote that Prince Harry and his wife should have planned their itinerary just two days before the main event - the Invictus Game, instead of Meghan having fashion parade, shaking hands, hugging people, and forcing fake smile for the camera, clearly she was forcing herself to do some things, just look at the pictures and the fake smile. Meghan should come back to London after their Austrialia tour and let Harry continue, but I don't think she'll listen to my advice, as she'll like to showcase more of her designer clothes. There's no need for Meghan to keep up appearances just to please people while she suffering in silence, because she's so fame hungry and wants to be adored. Meghan just wants to be centre of attention, that's why she announced her pregnancy news immediately after Princess Eugenie's wedding, she didn't even allow Eugenie to enjoy her wedding week in the media, also no one is talking about the main event the Invictus game, as Meghan's story has taken over the media. It's all about Meghan, She just loved to be the centre of attention, her £80 polka dot dress is pretty and she looks good, the dress is sold out.
