A source tells the Daily Beast that Prince Harry discussed Meghan’s miscarriage with his family and they were also aware that her New York Times article was going to come out ahead of publication. The source didn’t say who in the family had been told, but it’s believed that Harry’s grandmother Queen Elizabeth, his father, Prince Charles, and his brother, Prince William, were all aware. “There is a lot of sadness around the family,” a palace source told People about the news.
