Meghan Markle reveals the dramatic episode she experienced after having an abortion
The 39-year-old ex-actress said losing a pregnancy is "excruciating pain" and that the topic remains "taboo."
In July of this year, Meghan Markle, the wife of Prince Harry, who decided to stay away from British royalty, had to face one of the most difficult episodes for a woman: losing a child.
Markle revealed in a column published in the New York Times that she had a miscarriage. “I knew, as I held my first son in my arms, that I was losing my second,” wrote the Duchess of Sussex, who married Henry in 2018, sixth in the order of succession to the British crown.
Meghan and Harry had their first child, Archie, in May 2019.
In the column published in the New York Times, Meghan recounted that she had just changed Archie's diapers when she felt a cramp and fell to the floor.
The 39-year-old former actress said that losing a pregnancy is an "excruciating pain" and that the subject remains "taboo" and is "steeped in (unwanted) shame, perpetuating a cycle of lonely grief."
Her column is published at a time when the couple is waging a war against various media that she accuses of violating her privacy.
It was recently known that the British justice postponed until the autumn of 2021 the process against the tabloid Daily Mail, attacked by Meghan for invasion of privacy.
The former actress accuses Associated Newspapers - which publishes the Mail Online, the Daily Mail and its Sunday version Mail on Sunday - for violating her privacy by publishing excerpts from a letter addressed to her father, Thomas Markle, in August 2018.
The trial was originally scheduled for January 2021, but lawyers for the Duchess of Sussex demanded on Thursday morning, in a hearing closed to the public in London's High Court, to postpone the date "much later in the year", for a "confidential reason."
"The correct decision is to accept the postponement request," Judge Warby, in charge of the case, said later in a public hearing. "This means that the date of January 11 is canceled and that the trial will be rescheduled for a new date in the fall (boreal)" 2021, he added.
In addition to the confidential reason, the judge indicated that the postponement was justified by a legal action initiated by Meghan Markle, who could see the matter resolved without trial.
On the other hand, the former actress intends to appeal against the decision of the British justice at the end of September to authorize the Mail on Sunday to support her defense in the book "Finding Freedom", a recent biography about the couple and his estrangement from the British monarchy.
Lawyers for Associated Newspapers claim that Meghan "cooperated with the authors" of this book, which refers to the letter for which they are persecuted, which she denies.
Prince Henry, sixth in the order of succession to the British crown, repeatedly denounced the pressure of the media on his partner and made them the main reason for his retirement from the royal family, announced in January and effective at early April.
