Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, wrote an emotional piece for the New York Times, in which she revealed she was pregnant with her second child but suffered a miscarriage in July.
The Duchess wrote that she “felt a sharp cramp” while changing the diaper of her first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, whom she welcomed in 2019. “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. “I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second.”
She added, revealing how she and her husband Prince Harry dealt with the loss: “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.”
She also referenced an interview during a royal tour in late 2019 in which she held back tears after a journalist asked “Are you OK?”
“Sitting in a hospital bed, watching my husband’s heart break as he tried to hold the shattered pieces of mine, I realized that the only way to begin to heal is to first ask, ‘Are you OK?'” Meghan wrote. “Losing a child means carrying an almost unbearable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few.”
And she said a lot more. See the piece here.
