Just hours after Duchess Meghan (née Markle) candidly opened up about her emotional journey as a new mother under the public eye, Peta Murgatroyd took to Instagram to express her heartfelt support for the royal figure. Peta, a well-known personality from Dancing With the Stars, shared her thoughts in a deeply empathetic message, reminding everyone of the immense challenges Meghan faces daily.
Peta's Emotional Response
On October 18, Peta, 35, penned a moving post on Instagram, acknowledging the immense pressures Meghan endures. "This broke me this morning. I cannot even begin to imagine the experiences this incredible woman has been through," she wrote. Peta empathized with Meghan's situation, pointing out that she not only became a new mother and a newlywed but also relocated her entire life from the U.S. to the U.K., embracing an entirely new job, culture, and lifestyle—all while being scrutinized by the entire world.
Peta's post referred to Meghan's recent interview with ITV News at Ten anchor Tom Bradby, where the duchess revealed her heartfelt struggles with living in the spotlight.

Peta's Call for Empathy
Peta, star of Faith, Hope and Love and mother to son Shai Aleksander, 2, with husband Maksim Chmerkovskiy, wanted her message to resonate with others, encouraging them to rally behind the Duchess of Sussex. "I know she chose this life, but she shouldn't have to endure such cruel criticisms just because she's a royal," Peta added.
She further elaborated on the immense difficulties of being a new mother, pointing out how Meghan's every move is dissected and judged by the media. "It's hard enough being a new mom trying to figure things out, and meanwhile, she has papers and articles criticizing how she holds her baby or what she dresses him in," Peta continued. "I truly feel for her, and I hope the British press can back off and let her enjoy being a new mom in peace."
