Buckingham Palace declined to officially comment on Meghan Markle’s column in which she said she had a miscarriage. However, according to sources from The Mirror, the royals are saddened and provide emotional support to the couple.
On Wednesday, November 25, in The New York Times was released a column by the Duchess of Sussex in which she admitted that she suffered a miscarriage in July 2020. She noted that this topic is still taboo in society, although many pregnancies end in perinatal losses. Markle encouraged people to share their pain and support each other during the difficult times of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The royal family did not react in any way to the publication in their accounts. To the journalists’ request for comment, the answer came: “This is a deeply personal matter, which we will not comment on.” However, sources for The Mirror at Buckingham Palace claim that members of the royal family learned about the incident back in the summer. Despite the tense relationship between Prince Harry and Prince William, the latter forgot about the grievances and supported his brother and his wife. Their father, Prince Charles, also helped the couple cope with the bitterness of loss. Insiders claim that grief has rallied the entire royal family.
The author of books on the royal family, Katie Nicholl, noted that usually the representatives of the Windsor family adhere to the principle of “never complain, never explain.” However, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are different. Despite this, she is sure that the members of the royal family supported them, but did not advertise it.
May 6, 2019, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle was born firstborn. The child was named Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. He finished seventh in line to the British throne after his grandfather – Prince Charles, uncle – Prince William, his children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, and father – Prince Harry.
On April 1, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ceased to officially act as members of the British royal family. To get the right to move to the United States, work and do business, they also had to opt out of Your Royal Highness, government funding and the Sussex Royal brand.
