The Queen's granddaughter Zara Tindall has opened up about having a second miscarriage prior to giving birth to her daughter Lena last month.

Per The Daily Mail, Zara announced that she was pregnant in November 2016, and a spokesperson revealed on Christmas Eve that she'd gone through a miscarriage. But now Zara herself has explained that she had a second miscarriage "really early on" in another pregnancy, which was never officially announced to the public through palace representatives:

"I then had another miscarriage really early on," she told The Sunday Times. "It was a time when my family came to the fore and I needed them. In our case, it was something that was really rare; it was nature saying, 'This one's not right.'"

"You need to go through a period where you don't talk about it because it's too raw," she added. "But as with everything, time's a great healer."

The royal also opened up about her first miscarriage, saying "For me, the worst bit was that we had to tell everyone, everyone knew. I had to go through having the baby because it was so far along."

Zara and her rugby player husband Mike Tindall have a four-year-old daughter Mia, and recently welcomed their baby daughter Lena.
