Meghan Markle made a rare comment about the 2020 miscarriage she suffered as she shared insight about coping with the loss during a new episode of her podcast.

Meghan, 43, spoke with Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code and CEO of Moms First, during the Tuesday, April 15 episode of the “Confessions of a Female Founder” podcast. The episode explored the emotional toll of having to “perform” while experiencing a miscarriage, with Meghan drawing a “parallel” between Reshma’s “serial” losses and her decision to step back from professional responsibilities to “just breathe.”

“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 told her listeners.

“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 commended the CEO, 49, for asking for help during the loss, saying it took “courage.”

“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.

Meghan is a mother of two children, son Prince Archie, 5, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 3, whom she shares with her husband, Prince Harry. The actress first opened up about the miscarriage she suffered in July 2020 in an emotional article published by the New York Times that November. “Losing a child means carrying an almost unbearable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few,” she wrote at the time.

Prince Harry, 40, broke his silence on his wife’s pregnancy loss during their 2022 Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan. He blamed the tabloids for the miscarriage as she was subject to “stress” and “lack of sleep” during her legal case against The Daily Mail. At the time, Meghan was pursuing legal action against Associated Newspapers, the publisher of The Mail on Sunday and MailOnline, for publishing excerpts from a private letter she had written to her father, Thomas Markle, in 2018.

“I believe my wife suffered a miscarriage because of what the Mail did. I watched the whole thing,” Harry said. “Now do we absolutely know that the miscarriage was created caused by that? Of course, we don’t. [But] bearing in mind the stress that caused the lack of sleep and the timing of the pregnancy, how many weeks in she was, I can say from what I saw, that miscarriage was created by what they were trying to do to her.”

Meghan scored a legal victory against the publisher in 2021 when the Court of Appeal in London ruled in her favor. She was later awarded a symbolic £1 in damages for her privacy claim, an undisclosed sum for the separate copyright infringement case related to the letter and a front-page apology from The Mail on Sunday in December 2021.
