Meghan showed the world something that many of her royal predecessors have covered up — what a woman's body looks like 48 hours after birth
Did you notice something in those pictures of Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, with their newborn son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor?Not that she was wearing seemingly impossible high heels. All power to her.For the uninitiated, a baby bump is not just something you have when you are expecting. Gestating a human being takes up space in a woman’s body, a lot of space. To make room for said human being, the uterus expands. Comedian Ali Wong memorably described it as a house.
Meghan showed the world something that many of her royal predecessors have covered up: what a woman’s body looks like a mere 48 hours after birth. Her simple and understated white dress did not hide what her body had gone through. A simple belt tied high above her waist, in fact, seemed to be an intentional signal.
It was the first thing I noticed about the photos, actually, and in our office chat about this important breaking news, one of my colleagues, who is also a mother, was the first person I heard really put to words the power of the image. It felt refreshing and validating, to both of us, to see a high-profile woman reflect the reality of a postpartum body.
