Harry Alleges That Meghan Miscarried As A Result Of The Media Lawsuit

During his wife’s legal struggle with the Mail’s publisher, Associated Newspapers Limited, the Duke of Sussex claimed his wife miscarried “because of what the Mail done” (ANL).

Meghan’s win in her protracted legal battle against ANL, publisher of the Mail On Sunday and MailOnline, is discussed in the concluding episode of the Netflix documentary series telling all.

The duchess successfully sued the publication in 2021 over five pieces that included excerpts from a “personal and intimate letter” she wrote to her father Thomas Markle. Meghan explained the outcome of the lawsuit as follows: “I was pregnant, I really wasn’t sleeping and the first morning that we woke up in our new home is when I miscarried.”

Meghan suffered a miscarriage in the summer of 2020, a year after her first baby Archie was born.

She says regarding ANL: “Just apologize and don’t do it again, it’s really that simple – but instead it’s like ‘let’s make a fortune. Let’s create an entire tab on our home page with her name and just constant stuff on this litigation, twist and turn things to create an implant with members of the public.

“Then the defense says ‘we’d like disclosure from you, we need to access your email and your phone for this case based on these terms – I love you, Archie, Kate, William, Africa’ – sorry, what does that have to do with this lawsuit?

“Archie wasn’t even born when you guys published the letter I wrote to my dad.”

Harry says: “The press, they will never settle, they will always push because they will use private litigation to further invade your privacy as they did with my wife.

“But my mum always said, you know, ‘if they’re writing crap about you in the tabloids then you’re probably doing the right thing’ – so I’ve always felt as though this is a fight worth fighting for.”

Harry went on to say: “I believe my wife suffered a miscarriage because of what the Mail did. I watched the whole thing. Now, do we know that the miscarriage was caused by that – Of course, we don’t.

“But bearing in mind the stress that caused, the lack of sleep, and the timing of the pregnancy – how many weeks in she was – I can say from what I saw, that miscarriage was created by what they were trying to do to her.”

Referring to the miscarriage of the duchess, her mother; Doria Ragland, said: “I thought she was brave and courageous. But that doesn’t surprise me because she is brave and courageous.”

At this time, the show refers to the article Meghan authored with the headline “The Losses We Share”.

In the documentary, the duchess stated: “When I reveal things that are moments of vulnerability, when it comes to having a miscarriage and maybe having felt ashamed about that, like, ‘it’s OK, you’re human, it’s OK to talk about that’.

“And I could make the choice to never talk about those things, or I could make the choice to say with all the bad that comes with this, the good is being able to help other people. That’s the point of life, right, is connection and community like that.”
