When did Meghan suffer the miscarriage?

The tragedy occurred last July as the couple and their son were in lockdown in the States.

Meghan describes falling ill as she changed her child’s nappy, and being in hospital as she and Prince Harry took in the awful news.

She wrote: “Losing a child means carrying an almost unbearable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few.”

Meghan continued: “I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second.

“Sitting in a hospital bed, watching my husband’s heart break as he tried to hold the shattered pieces of mine, I realised that the only way to begin to heal is to first ask, ‘Are you OK?'”
