In early 2020, the couple announced they were quitting royal duties and moving to North America, citing what they said were the unbearable intrusions and racist attitudes of the British media. They recently bought a house in Santa Barbara, Calif.
In late November, the Duchess of Sussex revealed the painful loss she and her husband Prince Harry endured in an opinion article published by The New York Times.
In the op-ed, the former "Suits" star described how she realized something was wrong one July morning while caring for Archie.

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

Markle said she laid in a hospital bed hours later, where she kissed Harry's knuckles that were "wet from both our tears."
"Staring at the cold white walls, my eyes glazed over," Markle shared. "I tried to imagine how we’d heal."
Markle said she was sharing her story to help break the silence around an all-too-common tragedy.
"Losing a child means carrying an almost unbearable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few," she wrote. "Some have bravely shared their stories; they have opened the door, knowing that when one person speaks truth, it gives license for all of us to do the same."

In the Times article, Markle goes on to describe how she tried to keep a "brave face" in the public eye. She recalled a moment last year as she finished up a long tour in South Africa with Harry when a journalist asked her "Are you OK?"
"Thank you for asking," she replied. "Not many people have asked if I’m OK."
Markle deemed the question of "Are you OK?" to be important, especially in 2020, a year she said that has brought "so many of us to our breaking points."
