Price Harry’s uncle Charles Spencer has spoken out on the “very, very sad” news after Meghan Markle revealed she had miscarried.
In an opinion piece in the New York Times, the Duchess of Sussex wrote about the loss of her unborn baby while living in Los Angeles with Prince Harry.
She wrote: “I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second.
“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.”
Princess Diana’s brother, Charles, appeared on Wednesday morning’s instalment of Lorraine to discuss the devastating news with host, Lorraine Kelly.
'I can't imagine the agony for any couple of losing a child in this way'.

Lorraine said: “I am sure you will want to join us - all of us here, in wishing all our love to Meghan.”
"And of course, to your nephew Harry because today we just found out the news she had a miscarriage, it is just terribly sad, isn't it?"
“It is Lorraine,” Charles responded. “I mean, I cannot imagine the agony of losing a child in this way for any couple.
“It is so sad and I totally agree with you. I am with you, all of my thoughts will be with them today.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
