According to Meghan's friend, AB Spencer, the miscarriage happened on the very day Meghan and Prince Harry moved into their lavish Montecito mansion.
Spencer recalls a dramatic scene in which Meghan, in visible pain and clutching baby Archie, collapsed in the driveway—a traumatic moment, no doubt. However, Meghan's own version of events, as detailed in an article she wrote for the New York Times, presents a different picture. In this account, she describes being indoors, cradling Archie when the miscarriage occurred. She was reportedly performing household tasks the morning after their big move.
These conflicting stories naturally raise serious questions. Did the event take place inside or outside? Was Meghan running errands or comforting Archie? The contradictions are striking enough to make one wonder how much of this story is grounded in truth. In the Netflix documentary, Spencer becomes visibly emotional as she recounts her involvement in the tragic event. She explains how she was unable to speak openly about Meghan's situation, leaving her feeling helpless in supporting her friend. Yet, despite being on the verge of collapsing, Meghan’s first instinct was to call Spencer. That level of dramatic friendship—always ready for a scene, including collapsing in a driveway—seems extraordinary.
Adding to the intrigue is Meghan’s poignant description of the miscarriage, where she recalls humming a lullaby to calm herself and Archie during the ordeal. Is humming a lullaby during a medical emergency a typical reaction? Additionally, the location of the incident is again a point of contention: Meghan claims to have fallen indoors, while Spencer asserts it happened outside. This is a significant detail—one that most people would remember, especially in such a traumatic situation.
The strangeness of the story doesn’t stop there. Meghan recalls finding a crayon left behind by the movers, allegedly for Archie to use. However, babies typically don’t use crayons, and the image of finding a stray crayon the morning after moving into a 16-bathroom mansion feels oddly contrived—an unnecessary detail seemingly thrown in for added drama.
Further complicating the narrative is Meghan's more recent claim that the miscarriage was caused by the stress of her ongoing lawsuit against The Daily Mail. While miscarriage is always a deeply painful experience, the idea that stress from a lawsuit—a lawsuit she herself initiated—was the cause seems questionable, particularly when she had access to ample household support, including nannies, chefs, and cleaners. The notion that a legal case she voluntarily pursued led to such a tragic outcome feels, to some, like an overly convenient explanation.
Perhaps the most surreal aspect of this story comes from Prince Harry's claim that he buried the remains of their lost baby under a banyan tree with his bare hands. Given that Meghan said she was only a few weeks along, it's unclear what exactly Harry could have buried. For a couple who have been caught in several misleading or exaggerated statements, this entire tale feels more like an over-the-top episode of a low-budget reality show than a credible recollection of events.
To be clear, miscarriages are devastating experiences that deserve compassion and empathy. However, when the stories surrounding such sensitive events are riddled with inconsistencies, it becomes increasingly difficult to accept them at face value. Meghan and Harry seem determined to play out their personal dramas on the world stage, regardless of how contrived or exaggerated they might appear. This story, like many of Meghan's narratives, is full of holes, which is why the speculation surrounding the "surrogate gate" mystery only continues to intensify.
