Lisa Wilkinson talks about Meghan Markle’s tragic miscarriage

A day after Meghan Markle revealed she had suffered a miscarriage earlier this year, Lisa Wilkinson spoke about the tragic incident on The Project.

Discussing the 39-year-old Duchess of Sussex‘s shocking revelation in The New York Times on Wednesday, Lisa also reflected on the royal family‘s response.

When asked for comment, Buckingham Palace simply stated: ‘[It’s] a deeply personal matter which we would not comment on’. 

‘It was incredibly moving to read that,’ Lisa, 60, said of Meghan’s open editorial for The New York Times. 

She added: ‘It’s also a reminder of why they left the royal family. You know, Charles Spencer, Diana’s brother, he’s spoken about it, and really sent his deep condolences.

‘The Royal Family, in the meantime, say this is a deeply personal matter, we don’t discuss this. 

‘So, had Meghan still been part of the royal family, she wouldn’t have been able to share that story and help lots of other women and couples going through the same thing.’

Meghan stunned royal watchers and made headlines around the world after revealing she’d miscarried her second baby in July.  

‘I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second,’ she wrote.

‘Hours later, I lay in a hospital bed, holding my husband’s hand. I felt the clamminess of his palm and kissed his knuckles, wet from both our tears. 

‘Staring at the cold white walls, my eyes glazed over. I tried to imagine how we’d heal.’

Meghan married Prince Harry in 2018, and the couple are parents to a one-year-old son, Archie.
