Princess Diana miscarriage

I've just read that Princess Diana had a miscarriage a few months before conceiving Harry and that the pregnancy was announced a week before she miscarried. I have never ever heard this before. Is this correct?

No . No announcement was made. What is your source ?

TepidBathwater · 19/07/2026 23:38

I think she didn’t, didn’t she? In September 1983? And she miscarried in Balmoral?

Gettingbysomehow · 20/07/2026 00:11

I had my DS in 1983 and I dont remember hearing anything about that.

DramaAlpaca · 20/07/2026 00:14

I don't remember anything about that.

Edited to add that I remember the announcements for both her pregnancies.

MrsArcher23 · 20/07/2026 00:19

I never heard that (and I was a big Diana fan in the 1980s) It looks like it comes up on a Google search though, but it wasn’t an official announcement at the time, as far as I recall. Is it a rumour that, thanks to AI, is now being presented as ‘fact’??

ExOptimist · 20/07/2026 00:40

No and I was a Diana fan. The only pregnancy announcements were for William and Harry.

GrimDamnFanjo · 20/07/2026 01:37

No announcement but I think that she did have a miscarriage - it could habeen mentioned in the book Her True Story?

You know Google AI regurgitates unfounded rumours and also completely makes things up, right?

I wouldn’t take any notice of Google.

This is Marie Claire — note that I’m not claiming it’s true, only that there are sources other than Google AI saying so.

i doubt that would have been made common knowledge
we will never know

why does it even matter now?

Wow, this is a distasteful OP. Shouldn't have clicked on it, learnt my lesson.

How is it distasteful? She’s heard something and is asking a question.

About a dead woman's very personal medical history from over 40 years ago? I'll leave you to it. No need for anyone else to quote me - my mistake for clicking on it.

What did you think a thread titled "Princess Diana miscarriage" was going to be about? 🙄

Dontgetstuckinthepast · 20/07/2026 07:37

No. This is AI google making up rubbish based on rumours as usual.

AI Google knows literally nothing and isn't sense checked.

Ferrycrossingmakingwaves9 · 20/07/2026 09:01

Leave the poor woman alone fhs! This thread is in extremely poor taste. She can’t even evade scrutiny in death. What is your intention op in starting this thread exactly?

Ai will have sourced information and put together your answer. It was in a book more than likely or her tv interview, but it was never officially announced.

I was just really stunned as I didn't know about this previously.

It must be true then.
No. No announcements. Only William and Harry.

I actually think AI generated twaddle will in a few generations be taken as fact ! I am not adverse to googiling stuff but honestly people need to bypass the twaddle, this isn't a personal dig at the Op just an observation about AI

I’ve never heard about this before. Could you/Google AI be getting confused with Meghan? Meghan miscarried a few months before conceiving Lili. I don’t think it was ever publicly announced she was pregnant with that child but I remember people speculating about it at the time as she went great to lengths to hide her figure which prompted theories.

Why do you think you would have known though? For the vast stretch of human history things like this were kept private, no matter how famous you were. I expect women throughout history who are famous have had miscarriages, stillbirths, been raped and lots more and it was successfully hidden and is now completely lost from the public record.
It is only in the last five minutes, metaphorically speaking, that such things have been widely shared and spoken about.

"Stunned"? Really?

Surprised - maybe! But "stunned" that a woman may have experienced a miscarriage in between successful pregnancies?

My DM, DSis, DSIL and another family member have had 9 miscarriages between them. It's not uncommon and, as another PP has pointed out, wasn't discussed much in the past

What difference does it make to know about something like this when it was decades ago? And, even when people are in the public eye, they have the right to choose whether or not to release medical or personal information and we should all respect their decisions
