Prince Harry Shares New Meghan Markle Miscarriage Details

Miscarriage is hard on anybody it visits, and yet our society rarely treats it as something that can have a huge effect on the mental health of a family.

Previously, Meghan Markle has shared her own heart wrenching experience losing what would have been her second child in the hopes it can open up conversations around it.

Excerpts from Prince Harry’s memoir “Spare” include accounts of the time they lost their second pregnancy.

“We left the hospital with our unborn child. A tiny package. We went to a place, a secret place only we knew,” the Duke of Sussex, 38, wrote in an excerpt, exclusively shared by Us Weekly . “Under a spreading banyan tree, while Meg wept, I dug a hole with my hands and set the tiny package softly in the ground.”

Following their 2018 wedding, Harry and Meghan became parents for the first time in 2019, with the birth of their son Archie.

After moving from the UK to the US, the Sussex couple welcomed their second child Lilibet in June 2021.

In November 2020, the Duchess penned a moving op-ed for The New York Times, reflecting about her pregnancy loss.

“After changing [Archie’s] diaper, I felt a sharp cramp. I dropped to the floor with him in my arms, humming a lullaby to keep us both calm, the cheerful tune a stark contrast to my sense that something was not right,” she wrote, noting that her son was 18 months at the time. “I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second. … I felt the clamminess of [Harry’s] palm and kissed his knuckles, wet from both our tears. Staring at the cold white walls, my eyes glazed over. I tried to imagine how we’d heal.”

Again, during their recent Netflix docuseries, the miscarriage was one of the things that was discussed on the 6-part show.

“When I reveal things that are moments of vulnerability when it comes to having a miscarriage and maybe having felt ashamed about that, like, ‘It’s OK, you’re human. It’s OK to talk about that,’” Meghan said of what motivated her to write the op-ed and share her painful experience with the world. “And I could make the choice to never talk about those things or I could make the choice to say, ‘With all the bad that comes with this, the good is being able to help other people.’ That’s the point of life, right? Is connection and community.”
