I knew the British tabloids were racist, but I had no idea how cruel they had been throughout Meghan Markle’s pregnancy. I guess there is a documentary being done about it, and here is an excerpt: Jesus. This just broke my heart. pic.twitter.com/13KsROklv9 — Greg Hogben (@MyDaughtersArmy) October 18, 2019
