“I’m generally very decisive, but social media is a great barometer for me, because putting out a video of myself, nine months pregnant, was a really big choice.
“But I also wanted people to see themselves in my story and our story. And to be able to show that with all the noise that might happen in the world on a day-to-day basis, real life is still happening behind the scenes, really real life.”

A post shared by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (@meghan)
When Chang mentioned how some people criticised the video, Meghan admitted that she protects herself from seeing such criticism.
When told by Change that some people “tear” it (the video) apart, Meghan said: “I’m sure they did. I don’t know. But I also protect myself from seeing that.”
Meghan has suggested before that she avoids looking or listening to any criticism about herself.
