Meghan Markle’s Pregnancy Controversy: Debunking the Fake News

Meghan Markle, the former actress and wife of Prince Harry, has been at the center of a major controversy since she announced her pregnancy with her son Archie.

Online trolls accused Meghan of faking her pregnancy, claiming that she hired a surrogate to carry her child and that her growing baby bump was merely a pillow.

The dubious claims pertaining to Meghan Markle's pregnancy were shared on Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, and other social media platforms, with anonymous strangers building videos, threads, and illustrated essays expanding on the crackpot theory that Meghan Markle is, in fact, not pregnant.

One of the shocking tweets read, “After the release of Archie's birth certificate Meghan and Harry had no choice but to come clean.”

However, this claim is entirely false.

Years ago, the royal family had the so-called birth verification protocol that allowed the public to verify a female royal's pregnancy.

Years later, Queen Elizabeth decided to abolish the outdated protocol shortly after Prince Charles' birth.

This meant that the monarch afforded female royals more privacy when having their children.

Global searches for Meghan Markle fake pregnancy are up 1,650% in the last 90 days, and Meghan Markle fake bump is up 4,400%.

However, these claims are baseless and lack any evidence to support them.

Recently, Meghan Markle was snapped holding her son Archie's hand in a rare public outing from the family.

Prince Harry was also photographed at a 4th of July parade in Wyoming, US, on Monday after a fan claimed a big tough guy told her some seats at the event were reserved.

Only the backs of Meghan and Harry were caught on camera on their trip from Montecito, California, but the rookie photographer insists it was indeed the Sussexes, even with Lilibet out of view.

Meghan, dressed in black jeans, a white top, and fedora hat, can be seen from behind squatting as she speaks to a distracted 3-year-old Archie donning a trucker baseball cap and clutching hold of a miniature USA flag.

As Meghan treats her eldest child to a red lollipop, Harry is pictured soaking in the festivities of America's Independence Day, dressed in a gray polo shirt and khaki baseball cap.

The anonymous Facebook user revealed her shock at seeing royalty at Jackson Hole, which was later shared by Markley News 1.

She wrote, “Funny story, we are in Jackson Hole, Wyoming at their 4th of July parade.

The big tough guy told us twice that he was saving seats for a family, I thought, well it must be the royal family, very sarcastic thinking, a minute later Meghan Markle and Prince Harry walk up with little Archie.

The big guy was the bodyguard.

Meghan is gorgeous and Harry and Archie are cute.

It is unknown where Lilibet was during the parade.”

With the couple facing away from the camera, the usual royal conspiracy theorists slept out in force online with their sensational attempts at going full Sherlock Holmes.

Those denying it was Meghan in Wyoming this week alleged she looks too thin and her feet are too small.

Several more even suggested it could not have been Archie because his hair was not as red as previously pictured.

However, these claims are also baseless and lack any evidence to support them.

Someone said, “It doesn't look like her build.

I say it's fake, isn't her or the child,” an opinion echoed by several others on Instagram.

One fellow detective, however, argued, “This is definitely Markle.

She's got her Cartier on, and that hat is a dead giveaway.”

Another commented, “I agree it's the watch and bracelet that give it away.

Also, Archie looks like the other photos we've seen of him.”

A third even pointed out that her squat is a signature move of hers.
