Meghan Markle has shared devastating baby news, opening up about one of the most painful chapters of her life in a new episode of her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder.

In the candid conversation, the Duchess of Sussex reflected on her personal loss and the emotional process of letting go — a revelation that has prompted an outpouring of support online.

One fan wrote on social media, “Be kind to everyone. No one knows what they’re dealing with.” Another added, “You stay strong, Meghan,” while others praised her bravery for speaking openly about such a sensitive subject.

In a 2020 essay for The New York Times, Markle first revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage after feeling a “sharp cramp” while changing her son Archie’s diaper in July of that year. She recalled feeling unwell at home in Los Angeles before being rushed to the hospital.

Revisiting that moment on her podcast, Markle discussed the loss with guest Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code, who has also experienced miscarriages.

“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.

“The world doesn’t know what’s happening quietly,” she said. “And in the quiet, you’re still trying to show up for people — mostly for your children — but those things are huge medical scares.”
