Meghan MarkleandPrince Harrybelieve Meghan had a miscarriage as a direct result of press intrusion into their lives.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the claim during the second volume of their Netflix docuseriesHarry & Meghan, released Thursday.

Speaking to the camera, the couple’s lawyer Jenny Afia said that she was aware of the “toll it was taking” on Meghan to pursue legal action against Associated Newspapers in 2020, after the publisher of theMail on Sundayand the MailOnline printed sections of a private letter she sent to her father, Thomas Markle, following her May 2018 wedding toPrince Harry.

Afia added that Meghan was pregnant, but not able to sleep as a result of the pressure she felt as the couple moved into their new home in Montecito, California.

“The first morning that we woke up in our new home is when I miscarried,” said Meghan.

In a statement, Meghan said, “This is a victory not just for me, but for anyone who has ever felt scared to stand up for what’s right.”

She noted, “While this win is precedent-setting, what matters most is that we are now collectively brave enough to reshape a tabloid industry that conditions people to be cruel, and profits from the lies and pain that they create.”

Meghan continued, “From day one, I have treated this lawsuit as an important measure of right versus wrong. The defendant has treated it as a game with no rules. The longer they dragged it out, the more they could twist facts and manipulate the public (even during the appeal itself), making a straightforward case extraordinarily convoluted in order to generate more headlines and sell more newspapers — a model that rewards chaos above truth. In the nearly three years since this began, I have been patient in the face of deception, intimidation, and calculated attacks.”
