The Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle revealed in a writing in the New York Times today that she suffered a miscarriage in July this year.

Markle who is married to British Prince Harry in the write-up in the Times wrote that she had just changed her son’s diaper when she felt a sharp cramp and fell to the ground. She stated:

“I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second,” Markle wrote in the Times piece.

The Duchess of Sussex also spoke about the coronavirus pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement and the US elections. She said:

“For the first time, in a long time, as human beings, we are really seeing one another.”

Markle also wrote of the death of Breonna Taylor, as well as the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed African American killed in police custody.

“Loss and pain have plagued every one of us in 2020, in moments both fraught and debilitating.”

The couple who got married in 2018 had their first child Archie in 2019.

Writing of the “unbearable grief” of miscarrying a child, Markle said it was a conversation that remained “taboo, riddled with (unwarranted) shame, and perpetuating a cycle of solitary mourning.”

Markle’s personal piece comes as she and her husband wage an increasingly public war with some media outlets over their right to privacy. The couple has set up a non-profit organisation to promote education, mental health and well-being.
