Princess Diana's brother 'can't imagine agony' Meghan and Harry are suffering after miscarriage

Princess Diana's brother Charles Spencer has said that he "can't imagine the agony" that nephew Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are going through after their miscarriage.

Today, the Duchess of Sussex revealed that she had a miscarriage in July in a heartwrenching piece in the New York Times.

She said in the publication: "I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second."

Appearing on Lorraine today, Charles reacted to the news and said: "It is [sad] and I can't imagine the agony for any couple for losing a child in this way.

The 60-year-old host opened up about her struggle, explaining that having her daughter Rosie helped her through it, and admitted that she felt she went back to work too soon.

Lorraine spoke about the "unbearable grief" that Meghan had struggled with, which she and Prince Harry have kept quiet about over the last four months.

Speaking to Dr Hilary Jones, she said that Meghan opening up would help a lot of people and also brought up that Lorraine had suffered a miscarriage.

"Just seeing this this morning, it was almost exactly the same," she said. "What really helped me was obviously being able to talk to you and being able to talk to other people and also Rosie, because she was only about six. And I know that she's a lot younger than that, but that will really help having another child to focus on.

"My heart just goes out to her, it's just so sad. And how she's done it is absolutely brilliant."

Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid earlier sent their love to Meghan today after the news broke earlier this morning.

In the article written by Meghan, she wrote about holding son Archie in her arms when she felt a sharp pain and realised that she was suffering a miscarriage.

"Deeply new revelation, it happened in July - very sad news, obviously, for her and Prince Harry," Piers said. "I think that will strike a chord for everyone as, sadly, many pregnancies end in miscarriage."

Dr Hilary also spoke about the news and explained that one in five pregnancies end in miscarriage.

"Of course, it's always a huge loss and it's often a bereavement that lasts for the rest of their lives," said Dr Hilary. "It's very important that they get some counselling and move on."

Susanna said: "One thing that it will do is that it will provide some comfort to other people who have been in that situation when somebody so high profile speaks out about something that is very difficult to talk about."

She went on to describe Meghan's article as a "remarkable piece" about a "very difficult experience".

Piers added: "It's a very moving and powerful piece."

Susanna continued: "Our love goes to the family."
