Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, opens up about 2020 miscarriage and having to ‘let something go’



Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, opened up about suffering a miscarriage in 2020 on the new episode of her podcast.

The former Meghan Markle shared her insight about coping with the heartbreak of pregnancy loss with Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code and and CEO of Moms First.

Meghan spoke with Saujani on the second episode of “Confessions of a Female Founder” that was released Tuesday, focusing on redesigning the workplace for women and coping with loss.

“And I’ll bring this up if you’re comfortable talking about it, because I know you’ve spoken publicly about it as you’re doing Girls Who Code, all the interpersonal things that are happening for you at that time and the miscarriages that you’ve experienced,” Meghan said.

“I’ve spoken about the miscarriage that we experienced,” she continued. “I think in some parallel way, when 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 go that you plan to love for a long time.”

Meghan revealed she suffered the miscarriage in July 2020 in an opinion article published by the New York Times in November 2020. She has two children, son Prince Archie, 5, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 3, with her husband Prince Harry.

Saujani, who has suffered multiple miscarriages due to her autoimmune issues, described Meghan’s words as “really insightful” and as if Markle was “reading my diaries.”

“I don’t think anyone’s seen it that way, like, said it that way for me,” said Saujani. She then shared her own experience of detaching from the heartbreaking news of her own miscarriages.

“And I should have just gone home and gone to sleep and curled up with my husband, but I would just take a breath and I would just show up in a living room, in a stage and just perform.”

She added that she became so overwhelmed that she handed her business over to her team for a few months “just to breathe” after a “path of serial miscarriages.”

Meghan told Saujani that it takes “courage” to ask for help.

“And there is no way to continue to show up and role model for these young women … if you are not doing it with complete authenticity because you are so close to being burned out,” she added.
