NEW YORK (AFP): Meghan Markle revealed that she suffered a miscarriage in July this year, writing in the New York Times on Wednesday about the deep grief and loss she suffered with her husband, Prince Harry.
The Duchess of Sussex, who married the British prince in 2018, had the couple’s first child, Archie, the following year.
In the Times article, she wrote that she had just changed her son’s diaper when he felt a severe cramp and fell to the ground.
“I knew as I hugged my first born that I was losing my second,” Markle wrote in the Times article.
Writing about the “excruciating pain” of the miscarriage of a child, Markle said it was a conversation that remained “taboo, fraught with (unjustified) shame and perpetuating a cycle of lonely grief.”
Her very personal story comes as she and her husband wage an increasingly public war with some news outlets for their right to privacy.
He claims Associated Newspapers violated his privacy, data protection rights and copyright by publishing excerpts of correspondence with his estranged father, Thomas, prior to marrying Harry.
Harry and Meghan shocked the British establishment when they announced they were retiring from royal life.
Her withdrawal in March came after reports that she was deeply unhappy with life within the royal family and fed up with media intrusion.
The couple, who live with their young son, in California, signed an exclusive deal with streaming giant Netflix for an undisclosed fee earlier this year.
They have created a non-profit organization to promote education, mental health and wellness. – AFP
