Since marrying Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has remained in the public eye. Her personal life continues to attract significant interest, with paparazzi closely following her every move. Not long after their wedding, Meghan and Prince Harry stepped down from their royal duties and relocated to the United States, a decision that sparked criticism, with many Britons blaming her for creating distance between Harry and his family.

Recently, Meghan spoke candidly about the heartbreak she and Prince Harry endured after she suffered a miscarriage. Following the birth of their son, Archie, the couple had been expecting another child, but tragically, their hopes were shattered.

Meghan’s poignant essay on grief and loss, titled The Losses We Share, was published in The New York Times and resonated deeply with many readers.

"I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second,” Meghan Markle writes about her miscarriage. Today, we are sharing an essay by the Duchess of Sussex about the loss that she and Prince Harry suffered earlier this year. https://t.co/xCJbgPgufq

“Losing a child means carrying an almost unbearable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few,” the 39-year-old Duchess explained.

“I felt a sharp cramp. 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 Markle added of her miscarriage, “I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second.

“Hours later, 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.”

Brave Meghan put a smile on her face despite the pain she has been going through. That’s the curse of being a famous person.

“In the pain of our loss, my husband and I discovered that in a room of 100 women, 10 to 20 of them will have suffered from miscarriage. Yet despite the staggering commonality of this pain, the conversation remains taboo, riddled with (unwarranted) shame, and perpetuating a cycle of solitary mourning,” the former actress wrote.

Meghan wants women who go through the same to be able to speak of their pain openly instead of being ashamed. The tragedy of losing an unborn child is not rare. However, many opt to live with that pain without sharing it with their loved ones.

Since William and Kate have three children, many wonder if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will eventually welcome a third child themselves.

The couple spoke of the idea of having a third child and their opinion is firm.

When Archie was a year old, Harry spoke to Vogue Magazine and said he feels that there should be a limit on the number of children one can have.

“I think, weirdly, because of the people that I’ve met and the places that I’ve been fortunate enough to go to, I’ve always had a connection and a love for nature. I view it differently now, without question. But I’ve always wanted to try and ensure that, even before having a child and hoping to have children..,” Harry said.

The interviewer, Dr Jane Goodall, replied, “Not too many!” and laughed. Harry continued, “Two, maximum! But I’ve always thought: this place is borrowed. And, surely, being as intelligent as we all are, or as evolved as we all are supposed to be, we should be able to leave something better behind for the next generation.”

Speaking to Oprah, Meghan said in the past, “[I’m] just grateful to have any child. Any, one or two, would have been amazing but to have a boy and then a girl what more can you ask for? Now we’ve got our family, we got the four of us and our two dogs,” Meghan told Oprah.

Harry added that they were “done” with two children, to which Meghan replied, “Two is it.”
