"When, unfortunately, me and Zara went through a baby loss when Zara was five months pregnant and the amount of people who wrote to me and got in touch is astronomical," said Mike. "Everyone assumes that having a baby is easy and it's not. Unless people get around that or know about it or understand it, it's very hard to deal with."

This isn't the first time that the couple have opened up about baby loss. Back in 2018, the granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II, who was the first royal to publically speak out about a miscarriage, told BBC Breakfast presenter Sally Nugent: "I think that's the hardest thing in our situation, is that everyone knew".

Holding back tears, she added: "And very much when things like that happen, normally it's just your family and friends, but unfortunately everyone knew about it."
In a separate interview with The Sunday Times, she spoke about the support she received from her family during the difficult period. "It was a time when my family came to the fore and I needed them," she said. "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."
