Prince Harry didn't imply – he directly accused the tabloids for Meghan Markle's pregnancy in 2020. He flat-out said during the finale episode of their Netflix docuseries, "I believe my wife suffered a miscarriage because of what the [Daily] Mail did. I watched the whole thing." You might recall Harry and Meghan sued the Daily Mail in 2019 after they published a private letter Meghan had written to her father, Thomas Markle. Harry added, "Now, do we absolutely know that the miscarriage was caused, created 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 caused by what they were trying to do to her." Her lawyer even confirmed the case consumed Meghan and that she received many texts in the middle of the night from her over it, according to OK. Additionally, Meghan also blamed the media for the dissolution of her relationship with her father.
