Meghan Markle’s Age Under Scrutiny Following New Book Release

The age of , the Duchess of Sussex, has once again become a topic of discussion online after the release of a new book titled Revenge, Meghan, Harry and the Windsors.

The book delves into her life before she married and her rise to fame at a young age.

According to the book, Meghan had asked Procter & Gamble to change a commercial with sexist undertones when she was just 11 years old.

The commercial had the tagline “women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans,” which prompted two of Markle's male classmates to make a joke about women belonging in the kitchen.

This frustrated her, and her father Thomas Markle encouraged her to join the protest against Procter & Gamble.

Meghan wrote to the company's chairman and then-First Lady Hillary Clinton, urging that the slogan be changed to “people all over America” instead of “women all over America.”

However, according to the book, she received no reply to her letters.

Eagle-eyed royal fans have pointed out that Clinton didn't become First Lady until 1993, meaning that she couldn't have held that title when Meghan was just 11 years old.

This has led some social media users to question Meghan's true age, suggesting that she may be older than she claims to be.

One user noted that Meghan's age could be confirmed through Classmate.com, which scans and uploads high school yearbooks.

Meanwhile, Tom Bower's new book also attacks one of and 's friends, journalist Scobie, who is described as an “unusual journalist.”

Bower notes that critics have highlighted Scobie's changing appearance after working in Japan for US Weekly, and that his age has also varied.

He adds that some would say Scobie, as the royal editor of Harper's Bazaar, is a propagandist.

In addition, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were reportedly snubbed by members of the royal family at their own Windsor wedding.

The public service has since been labelled a sham after Meghan's bombshell revelation that she and the Duke of Sussex had married three days prior to the televised event.

However, the pair's alleged second happy day was marred by and , who are said to have snubbed and caused a rift with the Sussexes on their special day.

Tom Bower has since written about Meghan's implied sham comment, with claims that the pair's day was fuelled by an icy relationship with the Cambridge family.

During her interview with , Meghan alluded to the fact that she and Prince Harry had married three days before the royal family service was put together.

She explained that the vows they have framed in their room are just between the two of them in their backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The globally televised Windsor ceremony was, implied Meghan, a sham.

It remains unclear what Meghan hoped to achieve by making this claim, but some speculate that she may have believed marriage certificates remain secret in California and can only become available to the public on the explicit order of a judge.

Overall, the release of Revenge, Meghan, Harry and the Windsors has sparked renewed interest in Meghan Markle's past and raised questions about her age and the authenticity of her wedding to Prince Harry.
