It was revealed that Meghan Markle went through a miscarriage this summer

This heartbreaking news was revealed in a personal essay by the Duchess of Sussex that was published in The New York Times.

Meghan wrote in the essay that she and Prince Harry went through an 'unbearable grief' because of the tragic loss.

She said: ‘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.'

Meghan wrote that she somehow knew she was losing her second child when she experienced a terrible cramp. The duchess said she had the cramps while she was changing son Archi's nappy in July.

Meghan shared her experience with the world as she thinks this subject is ‘experienced by many but talked about by few’

‘I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second. Hours later, I lay in a hospital bed, holding my husband’s hand.'

‘I felt the clamminess of his 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.’

Soon after this tragic loss, Meghan along with husband Prince Harry went on a tour of South Africa

It was difficult for the duke and duchess to appear strong in front of the world. According to the duchess, the couple had to keep up a ‘brave face’ in front of the media. Meghan wrote about the moment when journalist Tom Bradby asked if she was okay.

The duchess replied: ‘Thank you for asking. Not many people have asked if I’m OK.’

Writing in the New York Times, she said she ‘answered him honestly, not knowing that what I said would resonate with so many’ including ‘new moms and older ones, and anyone who had, in their own way, been silently suffering’.

Meghan wrote that the only way to heal was to ask herself if she is okay

She said: ‘My off-the-cuff reply seemed to give people permission to speak their truth. But it wasn’t responding honestly that helped me most, it was the question itself.’

The former actress recalled the moment when she was in the hospital seeing Prince Harry's heartbreak ‘as he tried to hold the shattered pieces of mine’.

She said she realized at that moment that the only way to heal was to ask herself ‘Are you OK?’.

Many people around the world would be celebrating this Thanksgiving without their loved ones because of the pandemic.

Meghan wants people to ask themselves if they're okay?

She said people may be physically distanced but ‘the truth is that we are more connected than ever because of all we have individually and collectively endured this year’.

The duke and duchess welcomed their first child Archie Mountbatten-Windsor in May 2019

Meghan is not the only royal member to have suffered from this unbearable loss. The  Queen’s granddaughter Zara Tindall previously revealed how she and husband Mike lost two babies before she gave birth to their second daughter Lena in 2018.

Zara, the Countess of Wessex, opened up about her ‘unbelievable sadness’ when she lost her unborn child in December 2001 as a result of ectopic pregnancy.
