“Lily Doesn’t Exist” Claims Facebook Video, Sparking Controversy
A Facebook video with the all-caps title “Lily doesn't exist” has caused a stir by speculating without evidence that Lily Bet Diana, the daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, is not real.
The video's claims range from the couple borrowing children and pretending they are their daughter to Markle pretending to be pregnant.
“I think someday the truth will come out, and her plans for world domination will be screwed,” says the video's narrator.
Lilibet has been the subject of much breathless Royal reporting, and in June, TMZ published what it claimed was Lilibet's birth certificate.
The redacted document from Santa Barbara County, California, states that Lilibet Diana Mountbatten Windsor was born on June 4, 2021, at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital.
The Duke of Sussex is listed as the first name of one parent, and his Royal Highness is given as the last name.

Rachel Meghan Markle is given as the second parent's name.
On June 6, the press secretary for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a statement that the newborn weighed seven pounds, 11 ounces.
Moreover, the couple has not yet released a photo of Lilibet, whom they call Lily, to the public.
Royals author Christopher Anderson has speculated that they want to shield her from the paparazzi for as long as possible.
Meanwhile, an American journalist claimed that the Duchess of Cambridge's kind gesture was rejected by Meghan Markle as the distance between the Cambridges and the Sussexes persists.
American journalist Kinsey Schofield claimed Kate has made several attempts to reach out to the Duchess of Sussex after Lilibet's birth by sending her notes and gifts.
However, her bid to reunite was allegedly rejected by Meghan due to the ongoing rift between the royal couples.
“The Tidyfor.com host said, ‘Kate kind of really aggressively reached out to Meghan after the birth of Lily and was denied.
I had no clue about that, but it didn't surprise me.
I thought, of course, Kate did that so sweet,'” reports the video.
Christopher Anderson, an author and American journalist, said, “Yeah?
She's a very kind person.
I mean, you always get this from people who have encountered her, worked with her, know her.
She's kind, and she gets a bum rap as being a kind of a cold fish.
I think people think she's so controlled, and frankly, a lot of women have told me they consider it to be awfully thin, but she has this little tight group of people around her.
Maybe, a half dozen people at the most, and she doesn't let people in that much, but I think when Lily was born, she could connect with Meghan in that way as well.
Unfortunately, nobody in the royal family has met her yet.”
A royal insider told US Weekly, “Kate has been reaching out to Meghan a lot more since Lilybet was born.
She's sending notes and gifts and trying to build up a relationship.
The firm has been instructing staffers to reach out more to Harry and Meghan to get them to soften a bit.”
The pair had been dogged by persistent rumors of a rift, but it later emerged that their husbands had been experiencing some tension between themselves.
An insider explained, “They were never that close, but the reason they're not speaking is because of the rift between Prince Harry and Prince William.
Harry and William have communicated sparingly over the last year, but none of their communications have been friendly in quite some time.
