In an article for The New York Times, Meghan wrote: "I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second."

She describes how she "felt a sharp cramp" after changing her son Archie's diaper (nappy).

The royal said she went to hospital with Prince Harry where she watched her "husband's heart break" as she held his hand.

Meghan wrote: "It was a July morning that began as ordinarily as any other day: Make breakfast. Feed the dogs. Take vitamins. Find that missing sock. Pick up the rogue crayon that rolled under the table. Throw my hair in a ponytail before getting my son from his crib.

"After changing his diaper, I felt a sharp cramp. I dropped to the floor with him in my arms, humming a lullaby to keep us both calm, the cheerful tune a stark contrast to my sense that something was not right.

"I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second.
