Meghan Markle looked back on her 2020 miscarriage in the latest episode of her podcast.
The Duchess of Sussex drew a “parallel” between her “Confessions of a Female Founder” guest Reshma Saujani’s “serial” pregnancy losses and the lawyer’s step back from Girls Who Code to “just breathe.”
In Tuesday’s episode, Markle, 43, brought the topic up after checking whether Saujani, 49, was “comfortable talking about it.”
Noting her own pregnancy loss, the “Suits” alum said, “I think in some parallel way … you have to learn to detach from the thing that you have so much promise and hope for and to be able to be OK at a certain point to let something go, something go that you plan to love for a long time.”
Saujani praised Markle’s “really insightful” comment and joked that the royal could have been “reading [her] diaries.”
She explained, “I don’t think anyone’s seen it that way [or], like, said it that way for me.”
Markle penned an emotional New York Times essay in November 2020 about suffering a miscarriage four months prior.
“Losing a child means carrying an almost unbearable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few,” she wrote at the time.
Prince Harry spoke about his wife’s pregnancy loss in their Netflix docuseries, “Harry & Meghan,” two years later.
The former military pilot, 40, blamed the miscarriage on the tabloids, saying Markle had endured “stress” and “lack of sleep” during her legal case against the Daily Mail.
By that time, the couple had already welcomed their rainbow baby, daughter Princess Lilibet, now 3.
Harry and Markle, who wed in May 2018, are also the parents of 5-year-old son Prince Archie.
The former actress gushed over her little ones, who currently are suffering from RSV and Influenza A, elsewhere in Tuesday’s episode while calling motherhood her “favorite title.”
While the job is “full-on,” Markle would not “trade it for anything” — and often scrolls through her camera roll when away from her kids.
“My husband’s like, ‘My love, can you just give yourself a minute? Why don’t you go work out? Why don’t you just go take a bath?’” she said.
The As Ever founder gushed that as a working mom, she finds a way to “show up for both” her job and her family.
