Olympic cycling great Dame Laura Kenny has opened up about her miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy, saying she felt "lonely" after losing her unborn child.
The five-time Olympic gold medallist received her damehood from the Duke of Cambridge at Windsor Castle today (May 17), alongside her husband - Bolton -born Jason Kenny - who was awarded a knighthood. Dame Laura and Sir Jason have won 12 Olympic cycling gold medals between them and were given their titles for services to the sport.
She has opened up about her experiences in hopes it would support other women and their families, allowing them to talk about their experiences. The 30-year-old told the PA news agency: “You wish it never happens to you and it’s not until you go through it that you realise how lonely it is, and I think it was that that made us realise that actually, OK, it was a bad situation to us but lots of people go through it.
