Duke of Sussex believes stress of Mail on Sunday court case caused Meghan to have a miscarriage
- Prince Harry made the claim in the latest episodes of the Netflix documentary
- Meghan, 41, said she lost a pregnancy the day after the couple moved to the US
- At the time she was involved in a High Court case against the Mail on Sunday
The Duchess of Sussex suffered a miscarriage because of the stress of a court case against The Mail on Sunday, Prince Harry has claimed.
Meghan, 41, described how she lost a pregnancy the day after she and Harry moved into their new home in Montecito, California, in 2020.
At the time, she was involved in a High Court privacy case she had brought against The Mail on Sunday and MailOnline after they published extracts from a letter she wrote to her father, Thomas Markle. She said: ‘I was pregnant, I really wasn’t sleeping, and the first morning that we woke up in our new home is when I miscarried.’
The pregnancy had not been announced officially, and the miscarriage was not revealed until the duchess wrote about it in the New York Times four months later.

Speaking about the loss of the baby, Harry said: 'Do we absolutely know the miscarriage was caused by that? Of course we don’t. But bearing in mind the stress that that caused, the lack of sleep and the timing of the pregnancy, how many weeks in she was, I can say from what I saw, that miscarriage was created by what they were trying to do to her’
She later won her privacy case against Associated Newspapers, which publishes The Mail on Sunday, MailOnline and the Daily Mail.
Harry said: ‘I believe my wife suffered a miscarriage because of what the Mail did. I watched the whole thing.
‘Do we absolutely know the miscarriage was caused by that? Of course we don’t. But bearing in mind the stress that that caused, the lack of sleep and the timing of the pregnancy, how many weeks in she was, I can say from what I saw, that miscarriage was created by what they were trying to do to her.’
