Prince Harry reveals they buried the baby they lost to miscarriage in a 'secret place'

Since Prince Harry's autobiography, Spare has been on the international market, the contents are gradually coming out into the open. In his book, the Prince does not spare very personal insights into the life of himself and his wife, Meghan Markle.

Meghan suffered a miscarriage after her first child

We have recently learned when and under what circumstances the Duke and Duchess of Sussex lost their child. Son Archie Harrison, now 3 years old, was already in the world and Meghan was pregnant for the second time. The miscarriage became public in November 2020.

Meghan herself described the traumatic event in an essay for the New York Times. She wrote:

After changing [Archie's] diaper, I felt a sharp cramp. I dropped to the floor with him in my arms, humming a lullaby to keep us both calm, the cheerful tune a stark contrast to my sense that something was not right. I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second.

Harry partly blames the Daily Mail newspaper for the loss of the unborn child. In the Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, the Royal clearly states:

I believe my wife suffered a miscarriage because of what The Mail did... Bearing in mind the stress that 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.

Harry is referring to a court battle between the Daily Mail and Meghan over alleged breaches of privacy rights.
