The world reacts to Meghan Markle’s ‘brave’ revelation about miscarriage tragedy

The world has reacted to the tragic news that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, suffered a miscarriage earlier this year.

In an emotional personal essay she wrote for The New York Times, 39-year-old Markle said she suffered the tragic loss after experiencing a “severe cramp” while caring for her son Archie.

“I knew as I hugged my firstborn that I was losing my second,” he wrote.

The essay has made international headlines and sparked great compassion for the former royal.

Charles Spencer, brother of Prince Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, said his thoughts were with the couple.

Speaking about Lorraine, the 56-year-old said, “I can’t imagine the agony of a couple losing a child in this way. I totally agree with you, all thoughts with them today.”

BBC Home & Foreign Duty editor Allie Hodgkins-Brown said “a source close to the Duchess of Sussex confirms to the BBC that Meghan is in good health.” The source added regarding the time of publication of the New York Times article, “the couple took the time to process what happened in July and, having come to appreciate how common miscarriage is, wanted to talk about it publicly. “.

Online celebrities, commentators and journalists were quick to respond to the article, calling Markle “brave” and “brilliant.” Others said the trial could help change the stigma around miscarriages that makes women suffer in silence.

“This is a heartbreaking opening from Meghan, who reveals that she suffered a miscarriage earlier this year. It is so brave of her to share something so raw,” 9 News personality Sylvia Jeffreys wrote on Twitter.

“Nearly 1 in 4 women has experienced a miscarriage. Miscarriage is not a private matter,” wrote model and host Jessica Davies. “It should be discussed more broadly and openly because women shouldn’t feel alone. Thanks to Meghan for sharing her pain.”

“Miscarriages are too common, heartbreakingly painful and not talked about enough. The Duchess of Sussex should be applauded for this,” said David Hughes, editor of PA Media.

Olivia Singer, British Vogue fashion news director, called Markle a “queen.”

“I can only imagine how much Meghan Markle’s article will help those who have suffered a miscarriage and found it difficult to express their grief,” wrote Channel 5 News anchor Anila Dhami. sands.com.au

“Your courage to share your vulnerability will certainly start a conversation and help people to open up and seek help if necessary.”

“Another example of ‘you never know what happens behind closed doors,'” said YouTuber Emily Canham. “It’s really not that hard to be nice, you never know what someone is going through.”

Markle is not the first real woman to experience the tragedy of losing an unborn baby.

The queen’s granddaughter, Zara Tindall, suffered two miscarriages before having her second child.

The Countess of Wessex also lost her first baby in December 2001 when she was airlifted to hospital after suffering a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy.

Members of the royal family have yet to react to the news. Kensington Palace, home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, has been contacted for comment.
