Duchess Meghan has been opening up like never before in her new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, and in the latest episode, she speaks candidly about the heartbreaking miscarriage she suffered some years ago.

In the episode, released today, the Duchess of Sussex is joined by Reshma Saujani, the founder of the nonprofit Girls Who Code and the CEO of motherhood platform Moms First.

As Saujani expressed the challenges she faced while building Girls Who Code, Meghan praised the entrepreneur for her incredible capacity to “perform” at work while privately navigating the pain of having lost a baby—something Meghan, too, went through.

“I’ll bring this up if you’re comfortable talking about it because I know you’ve spoken publicly about as you're doing Girls Who Code, all the interpersonal things that are happening for you at that time and the miscarriages that you’ve experienced,” Meghan said, before reflecting on her own miscarriage.

“I’ve spoken about the miscarriage that we experienced,” she continued. “I think in some parallel way, when you have to learn to detach from the thing that you have so much promise and hope for and to be able to be okay at a certain point to let something go, something go that you plan to love for a long time.”

Meghan’s rare comment about having lost a baby with husband Prince Harry comes five years after her miscarriage.

The duchess, who shares son Prince Archie 5, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 3, with Harry, revealed in a November 2020 essay for The New York Times that she had suffered a miscarriage in July of that year. (The two stepped down as senior members of the royal family in January 2020.)

In the personal essay, Meghan recalled feeling a “sharp cramp” and dropping to the floor with baby Archie in her arms. “I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second,” she wrote. “Losing a child means carrying an almost unbearable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few.”

Elsewhere in her podcast, Meghan has spoken plenty of balancing being a founder with being a mother. In the first episode, she revealed she experienced postpartum preeclampsia after one of her pregnancies. She also she spoke of her current everyday routine with Archie and Lili, and the joy that being able to work from home to be around them brings her.

“Lili still naps. She gets picked up early and she naps,” Meghan said. “She only has a half day in preschool. If she wakes up and wants to find me, she knows where to find me, even if my door is closed to the office. She’ll be sitting there on my lap during one of these meetings with a grid of all the executives.… I wouldn’t have it any other way. I don’t want to miss those moments. I don’t want to miss pickup if I don’t have to. I don’t want to miss drop-off.”
