Despite the reviews about Meghan Markle‘s podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder being less than favorable, her discussions with her guests continue to offer up some meaty soundbites from the Duchess of Sussex. During the April 15, 2025, episode, when Meghan spoke to politician and Girls Who Code nonprofit founder Reshma Saujani, the women shared details of their respective miscarriages.
During the episode, Meghan opened up about her loss in 2020 and revealed that she had to “detach” from losing the pregnancy so she could move forward. Reshma shared during the same episode that when she had multiple miscarriages, she had to step down from a more prominent role within Girls Who Code, which is dedicated to promoting coding and technology for girls and women. Meghan related to her by sharing her own experience with a miscarriage.
Meghan Markle opened up about her miscarriage on her podcast.
In 2020, Meghan experienced a loss with Prince Harry when she had a miscarriage. At the time, she penned an essay about it for The New York Times. In it, she wrote that she knew she was losing her second child through a miscarriage while she was changing her son Prince Archie’s diaper. Meghan was 20 weeks pregnant, and she wrote in her essay, losing her baby in her second pregnancy was “almost unbearable grief.”
She shared more about it for the first time since then in her podcast. During her discussion with Reshma, the women shared how they worked through the grief that a miscarriage brings.
“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,” Meghan said, per Us Weekly.
While this isn’t the first time Meghan has shared details about her miscarriage and the pain she experienced in losing her second child, it sheds another light on the loss that she and Harry experienced together. It also opens the door for more discussions on her podcast, in which Meghan shares more about her personal life than critics might have at first thought she would.
Prince Harry has opened up about having more kids.
Harry’s older brother Prince William has three kids with wife Kate Middleton. But for Harry, his ideal number is fewer than that. In February 2025, at the Invictus Games in Vancouver, Harry spoke to CTV News, per the Mirror. At the time, he shared that he believes “one or two kids is probably enough.” Given that he and Meghan have two kids, Archie and Princess Lilibet, they probably don’t have plans for more.
“I know some people who’ve got five,” Harry told CTV News. “I just say, ‘Well, that’s your own fault!’ Having kids is amazing, but it is … it’s a journey every single day, every single week, they just grow, and they change.”
When Harry and Meghan moved to the US in 2020 to start a life outside of duties related to the royal family, that didn’t mean their children were omitted from the line of succession. Harry is fifth in line to the throne, followed by Archie and then Lilibet.
