Meghan Markle has revealed she had a ‘huge medical scare’ after giving birth as the first episode of her new podcast Confessions Of A Female Founder came out today
The Duchess of Sussex announced the arrival of the new Lemonada Media show by posting a series of throwback photos on Instagram of her selling cookies as a child.
In the first episode, Meghan speaks with her friend, the entrepreneur Whitney Wolfe Herd, who founded the female-focused dating app Bumble and co-founded Tinder.
Both women discussed how they had suffered from postpartum preeclampsia, a condition related to high blood pressure and excess protein in urine in the days or weeks after giving birth – which Wolfe Herd described as ‘life or de.ath, truly’.
It was released just hours after Meghan’s husband Prince Harry landed in the UK, and King Charles III jetted off to Italy with Queen Camilla for a four-day state visit.
The Duke of Sussex then arrived at the High Court this morning for an appeal against a ruling on whether he is entitled to armed bodyguards paid for by the taxpayer.
In the podcast interview recorded in February, Meghan said to Wolfe Herd: ‘We both had very similar experiences – though we didn’t know each other at the time – with postpartum, and we both had preeclampsia. Postpartum preeclampsia.’
Meghan did not reveal whether she suffered the condition after the birth of her son Prince Archie, five, or her daughter Princess Lilibet, three. Wolfe Herd has two sons.
