Meghan Markle has spoken out about her miscarriage in an article for the Newyork Times, the Dutchess expressed the sadness of watching her husband’s heart break, as he tried to hold the shattered pieces of mine”.
Meghan wrote that “loss and pain have plagued every one of us in 2020”.
The 39-year-old urged people to “commit to asking others, ‘are you OK?'” over the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S.
Criticism
The Dutchess has been criticised in some circles for braking the royal tradition of communicating freely with the media, but her fans see it as an outcome she wanted, and which is consistent with the decision to break away from the royal family.
“Mothers like Meghan sharing their stories is a vital step in breaking down that stigma and shame,” said Sophie King, a midwife at Tommy’s, which funds research and runs a helpline for expectant parents and those affected by loss.
“Her honesty and openness today send a powerful message to anyone who loses a baby: this may feel incredibly lonely, but you are not alone,” said King.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement that the disclosure was “a deeply personal matter which we would not comment on”.
Private Life
Harry’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, has never discussed her private life in any media article or interview in her 68-year reign. On the other hand, Princess Diana gave a broad interview to the Panaroma in the 80’s, now established to have been secured under the fraudulent influence of BBC correspondent, Martin Bashir.
Harry’s older brother Prince William and his wife Kate, have never revealed anything about their personal life.
The byline on the New York Times article was “Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex”, and she was described as “a mother, feminist and advocate”.
Meghan said that 2020 had brought many people to breaking points, and called on people to put aside political differences and other divisions and show some care for each other.
“So this Thanksgiving, as we plan for a holiday unlike any before — many of us separated from our loved ones, alone, sick, scared, divided and perhaps struggling to find something, anything, to be grateful for — let us commit to asking others, ‘Are you OK?’,” she wrote..
