Meghan Markle reveals she had a miscarriage

In a New York Times opinion article, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, wrote about her miscarriage.

“I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second,” Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, writes.

Meghan Markle, who has a 22-month-old son Archie with Prince Harry, revealed in her personal essay that she lost her pregnancy in July.

“After changing [Archie's] diaper, I felt a sharp cramp,” she wrote. “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.”

The former “Suits” actress, who moved to Southern California with Harry and Archie earlier this year, added: “I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second.”

The duchess went on to compare her tragedy to previous tragedies such as coronavirus deaths and the murders of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, which caused national protests. People must express their pain in order to recover, she wrote.

“So this Thanksgiving, as we plan for a holiday unlike any before — many of us separated from our loved ones, alone, sick, scared, divided and perhaps struggling to find something, anything, to be grateful for — let us commit to asking others, ‘Are you OK?'” she wrote. “As much as we may disagree, as physically distanced as we may be, the truth is that we are more connected than ever because of all we have individually and collectively endured this year.”
