“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 had so much promise and hope for — to be okay at a certain point to let something go, something you planned to love for a long time.”
Saujani responded, “I feel like you’re reading my diary. That’s really insightful.”
Prince Harry also reflected on the loss in his memoir Spare, writing that he and Meghan “both wept” and that he “felt totally hopeless” as they left the hospital with their unborn child.
“A tiny package,” Harry wrote. “We went to a place, a secret place only we knew. Under a spreading banyan tree, while Meg wept, I dug a hole with my hands and set the tiny package softly in the ground.”
Markle’s latest comments come shortly after the premiere of her new podcast series, where she also revealed she had suffered a “huge medical scare” following childbirth.
In an earlier episode with Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd, Meghan shared that she had experienced postpartum preeclampsia — a rare but serious condition involving high blood pressure and excess protein in the urine soon after giving birth.
