Meghan Markle has spoken candidly about one of the most painful experiences of her life, revealing new details about her miscarriage during a deeply personal podcast episode.

In the latest installment of her series Confessions of a Female Founder, the Duchess of Sussex reflected on the loss of her second child in 2020. The conversation, which she shared with Girls Who Code founder Reshma Saujani, struck a chord with listeners who praised her honesty and strength.

“I’ve spoken about the miscarriage that we experienced,” Meghan said. “In some parallel way, you have to learn to detach from the thing that you have so much promise and hope for, and to be able to be okay at a certain point to let something go — something that you planned to love for a long time.”

Saujani, who has also endured miscarriages, responded emotionally: “I feel like you’re reading my diary, that’s really insightful.”

The Loss That Shook the Sussexes

Back in 2020, Meghan wrote about the devastating experience in a New York Times essay. She described feeling a sharp cramp while changing son Archie’s diaper, before being rushed to the hospital in Los Angeles.

Prince Harry later revisited the moment in his memoir Spare, recalling how he and Meghan “both wept” as they left the hospital without their baby. He described how they found comfort in a private ritual, burying “a tiny package” beneath a banyan tree.
