Actress,Keira Knightley has shared her thoughts about Kate Middleton’s body just hours after giving birth to Princess Charlotte in 2015.
The Guardian reports that, Keira Knightley, who had her daughter Edie a day before Charlotte was born, was not happy with how Kate presented herself to the world hours after giving birth.
In the newly released feminist essay collection Feminists Don’t Wear Pink (And Other Lies), Keira wrote a piece called “The Weaker Sex,” where she wrote kn her disapproval for Kate’s post-baby look. She writes:
We stand and watch the TV screen. She was out of hospital seven hours later with her face made up and high heels on. The face the world wants to see. Hide. Hide our pain, our bodies splitting, our breasts leaking, our hormones raging. Look beautiful, look stylish, don’t show your battleground, Kate.
Seven hours after your fight with life and death, seven hours after your body breaks open, and bloody, screaming life comes out.
Don’t show. Don’t tell. Stand there with your girl and be shot by a pack of male photographers.
Keira continued;
You came out with your eyes open. Arms up in the air. Screaming. They put you on to me, covered in blood, vernix, your head misshapen from the birth canal. Pulsating, gasping, screaming. You latched on to my breast immediately, hungrily, I remember the pain.
The mouth clenched tight around my nipple, light sucking on and sucking out. I remember the s-, the vomit, the blood, the stitches. I remember my battleground. Your battleground and life pulsating. Surviving. And I am the weaker sex?
