Watch: Harry says Meghan suffered miscarriage ‘because of what the Mail did’

Prince Harry has linked a miscarriage suffered by the Duchess of Sussex on stress experienced at the hands of the tabloid press.

The couple discuss losing their unborn child in the final episode of their explosive six-part ocuseries Harry & Meghan, which was released on Thursday.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, says the tragedy happened after moving into their new home in Santa Barbara in July 2020, amid her legal battle with Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) over the Mail on Sunday’s publication of a letter she wrote to her father, Thomas Markle.

“I was pregnant and really wasn’t sleeping and the first morning we woke up in our new house was when I miscarried,” she says.

Harry adds: “I believe my wife suffered a miscarriage because of what the Mail did.”

The couple have previously discussed the stress endured as a result of the privacy battle, but have stopped short of drawing a direct link between that and Meghan’s miscarriage.
