"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."

The world was shocked yesterday when the Duchess of Sussex wrote that she experienced a miscarriage in her Los Angeles home earlier this year. In an emotive piece for the New York Times entitled 'The Losses We Share', Meghan Markle wrote that she was changing son Archie in July of this year when she felt a pain in her stomach. "After changing his diaper, I felt a sharp cramp," she said. "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. "I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second." It's now being been reported that Prince Harry was supported by his brother and father through the painful ordeal. It's believed Prince William and Prince Charles were there for Harry through the loss. Although the two brothers have reportedly not seen eye to eye in recent months it's been suggested that any differences have been set aside to support Harry. Since Meghan's story was released she has been receiving praise from many women around the world for speaking out on the topic of miscarriage and pregnancy loss and the grief that comes with it. Meghan and husband Prince Harry moved to the States earlier this year after announcing their decision to step back from their royal duties. The couple, who married in 2018, have one son together, baby Archie.
