MOTHERHOOD WITH FAME

When Markle married Prince Harry and had their son, she was no stranger to flashing lights and cameras. Already a successful actress in her own right, she admitted that the primary readjustment came with being a new mother amid the intense media scrutiny. Markle said:

"Not many people have asked if I'm OK. But it's a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes."

ON VULNERABILITY

This feeling of vulnerability that came with her pregnancy and then, later on, her son, was only intensified by the ever-watching eye of the press. She admitted that it was a lot. She

:

"Look, any woman - especially when they are pregnant - you're really vulnerable and so that was made really challenging."

DREAMS OF MOTHERHOOD

Many little girls might dream of finding their Prince Charming, and perhaps a younger Markle did too at some point. However, before her love story with Harry, Markle was already big on the idea of having a family. She revealed:

"It’s all about balance...it will also be nice to be anchored to something grounded...Raising a family will be a wonderful part of that."

ON HER FUTURE DAUGHTER

Although there is not yet a little mini-me of the Duchess of Sussex, Markle already started planning for when she would have a daughter. In 2015, she revealed that she bought a Cartier French Tank watch. She said:

"I had it engraved on the back, ‘To M.M. From M.M.' and I plan to give it to my daughter one day."

ON HER RECENT MISCARRIAGE

Royal fans might be heartbroken to discover that Markle and Harry suffered a tragic loss over the months spent in quarantine.

The 39-year-old revealed that she had a miscarriage in July. She described the pain and grief that she and Harry suffered through those months as they struggled to heal. Markle described the experience, saying:

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

Motherhood has not been an easy ride for this mother of one, but as she always has, Markle will continue to fight and climb her way through. What an inspiration.
