The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle has revealed that she suffered a miscarriage with her second child in July this year.
Wife of Prince Harry and former Hollywood actress wrote about the experience in detail in an opinion piece published in the New York Times on Wednesday.
Meghan in an opinion piece, 'The losses we share' wrote a heartfelt revelation about her loss and how Harry and she had to get through the unbearable pain.
Her opinion piece read that she felt a sharp cramp while changing the diaper of her first child Archie. Meghan said she knew as she clutched her firstborn child, that she was losing her second.
The Duchess said she dropped to the floor with the infant in her arms, humming a lullaby to keep calm, though she sensed that something was not right.
Meghan's revelation comes as a surprise as this is not in compliance with the policies of Buckingham Palace. However a source close to Harry said the Duke had discussed the article with the royal family beforehand.
Meghan wrote, she was sitting in a hospital bed watching her husband's heartbreak as he tried to hold the shattered pieces of her. 'I realized that the only way to begin to heal is to first ask, Are you OK?', she wrote.
Meghan is actually not the first royal to open up about her miscarriage. The Queen's eldest granddaughter, Zara Tindall, had also spoken about it in 2016.
In December that year, Tindall, daughter of Princess Anne, spoke about suffering two miscarriages. In an interview, she had spoken about the intense grief she had felt after the miscarriages which preceded the birth of her daughter, Lena.
In fact, Meghan's sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, had shattered stereotypes too when she had spoken about her battles with morning sickness during all three of her pregnancies.
Meghan Markle also referred to the human impact of the pandemic, racism, police brutality that the world has seen in 2020 in her opinion piece.
