Zara Tindall Praised For Her Honesty About Second Miscarriage

Zara Tindall suffered a second miscarriage that was only made known to the public this week.

After which, Vanessa Feltz, a journalist for Express, praised Princess Anne’s daughter for her honesty. Feltz said that talking about a miscarriage has been a taboo, but to talk about it for the second time just gave more women a voice.

“She has done a kind and worthwhile deed. Women and their loving partners who have endured miscarriage testify that no one is sure how best to approach them. People just don’t know what to say. Often they choose to cross the street and say nothing at all…” Feltz wrote.

But what Tindall did help break the taboo about miscarriage. After all, one in every eight women suffers from a miscarriage.

“In telling her story so openly Zara gives voice to those too devastated to speak and opens the door to stopping miscarriage being a taboo mentioned only in whispers when, as she rightly says, we should all be able to support those we love through this sad and harrowing experience,” she concluded.

On Tuesday, it was reported that Tindall suffered another miscarriage before she got pregnant with Lena.

“I had another miscarriage really early on. 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,” she said recently.

Months ago, Tindall also talked about her first miscarriage and said, “I had a miscarriage in 2016 and afterward loads of people wrote to me and Mike to say they’d been through the same thing. In our case, it was something really rare; it was nature saying, ‘this one’s not right.’ For me, the worst thing was that we had to tell everyone – everyone we knew,” she said.

Luckily for Tindall, she received nothing but love and support from her family.

“It was a time when my family came to the fore and I needed them. I had to go through having the baby because it was so far along,” she said.
