Back in 2016, Zara Tindall opened up about a pregnancy that was announced that had ended in a miscarriage.
She has now told the Sunday Times that she suffered another miscarriage before falling pregnant with her second child, Lena, who was born in June.
Mrs Tindall told the Sunday Times: “I…had another miscarriage really early on. You need to go through a period where you don’t talk about it because it’s too raw, but, as with everything, time’s a great healer.”
The 37-year-old mother was giving a joint interview with her brother Peter Philips, where she also told of the great support her family had given her after she lost her first baby, saying, “It was a time when my family came to the fore and I needed them.”
Zara, who does not hold a royal title but is a descendant of the Queen, had her pregnancies announced publicly. In the interview she commented on the difficulty of the publicity, saying, “For me, the worst bit was that we had to tell everyone, everyone knew.”
But she then revealed that the public had really helped her by writing in after she had spoken publicly about her first miscarriage, saying, “loads of people wrote to me and Mike to say they’d been through the same thing.”
The Olympic medal-winning equestrian is married to ex-England rugby captain Mike Tindall. The pair has a four-year-old daughter Mia as well as Lena.
