When Meghan Markle talks, we are all ears. And this time, it was not a royal drama or a palace gossip bomb—it was something far more intimate, raw, and human.

Yes, Meghan Markle had a miscarriage in July 2020. And she is done pretending it was not the most soul-shattering experience of her life.

While chatting with Moms First CEO Reshma Saujani, Meghan described the emotional rollercoaster of losing a baby and what it means to grieve a future you once held in your hands. She reflected that there comes a point where you have to detach from the version of life you planned—and somehow learn to let go of the love you had already built in your head.

Saujani, clearly hit by the depth of that statement, confessed it was the first time someone had described it in such a way that made her feel seen. She herself had experienced multiple miscarriages due to autoimmune issues and said she would often show up and "perform" socially even after being told by doctors that she had lost the pregnancy. It was like no one had hit pause on the world, so she kept going—robotically.
Meghan Markle’s memory about the miscarriage
The Duchess then shared a heartbreaking memory of that July morning. Everything started out perfectly normal—breakfast, dogs, vitamins, the usual chaos. But one sharp cramp while holding her son Archie was all it took for the world to stop. That was the moment it all changed. One moment she was a mum of one. The next, she was a mum mourning one.

The loss shattered her. But she believes that sharing the pain helps. That when people are invited to talk about their grief, they are also offered a chance to begin healing.
And while Meghan may be known for royal titles, it is clear the one she cherishes most is not Duchess—but Mum.
