Myleene Klass, the renowned model and businesswoman, has shared a cheeky incident in which she confessed to King Charles her disdain for name-droppers.
The 46-year-old celeb opened up to the Daily Mail about her Royal encounters, revealing: “The last time I saw him was only two weeks ago. And we both joked that we actually keep bumping each other, which was very nice. As I said to the King, I abhor name droppers”.
Myleene is pushing for the introduction of paid bereavement leave following miscarriages in her new campaign, which promotes women’s rights in the UK. The ‘ I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! ‘ star, mum to Ava, Hero, and Apollo, has experienced four miscarriages and openly discusses their impact on her life.
Myleene supports legislation through various media appearances in collaboration with MPs from the Women and Equalities Committee, who are pushing for paid bereavement leave for miscarriage victims.
She noted that “with bereavement leave, the parameters or the boundaries for both the employee and the employer are very clear,” and that she needed to have clear boundaries regarding such things. She did this just this week on “Good Morning Britain.”
” This is not the first time that this has been mooted, which is, I guess, frustrating, but again, at the same time, it shows the importance that people do feel we need this change. It’s integral to looking after both the women and the family’s mental health, “, reports Lancs Live.
How can you dismiss a child’s death as being in the same bracket or arena as a person who is only required to visit a general practitioner? There has been a baby loss and that should be acknowledged. “
To Myleene and the hosts ‘ astonishment, there is a lack of understanding about why miscarriages occur and no data collected on their frequency, reported the Independent.
Because we have been taught as women to keep quiet for so long, Myleene continued, “We don’t know whether fertility issues or miscarriage runs in families.” It’s a deep, dark secret, even the first trimester, we keep silent in our pregnancy.
“Then what happens is that you go to your doctor, or you go to your employer and say you’re pregnant, and you’ve lost a baby, and this is a double whammy,” the woman said. “This secrecy is actually a prison for women.
When Myleene heard she was being made an MBE for services to women’s health, miscarriage awareness, and charity at the end of last year, she said she was “utterly shocked and surprised” to receive the honour.
In a conversation with the BBC, she further expressed: “When I think back to how all of this started, it all came from a very dark place, and I certainly didn’t have it in mind to become a campaigner at the time. Anyone who has lost a child will understand how difficult and personal this kind of trauma is to express.
