Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been a constant presence in the media spotlight, whether it be for her philanthropic endeavors, fashion sense, or speculations surrounding her personal life.
Recently, a resurgence of a conspiracy theory has surfaced regarding Markle's two pregnancies, alleging that they were staged.
The theory suggests that Markle wore a prosthetic belly and employed a surrogate to carry her children.
The controversy began in 2018 when Meghan and Prince Harry announced their first pregnancy.
Online trolls propagated claims that Markle was not actually pregnant and insinuated that their son, Archie, was born via a surrogate.
According to the conspiracy theorists, the surrogate was purportedly either Markle's stylist or an unidentified woman spotted near Westminster Abbey.
One of the central arguments put forth by the pregnancy denialists was based on visual cues, such as Markle's belly appearing to jiggle like rubber in certain instances, changes in her belly button's appearance in photographs, and her seemingly effortless ability to bend over while pregnant.
A viral video even alleged that Markle's baby bump was suspiciously absent when she entered a car, fueling further speculation.
However, experts have debunked these claims, citing various reasons why a pregnant woman's stomach may appear different in size on different occasions.
Factors such as water retention, bloating, and the baby's positioning in the womb can all contribute to fluctuations in the appearance of a pregnancy bump.
Additionally, physiological changes in the abdominal muscles throughout the day can also affect the size and shape of the stomach.
Moreover, Markle's physical fitness and yoga practice have been cited as plausible explanations for her seemingly unusual range of motion during pregnancy.
Given her background in yoga and the influence of her mother, a former yoga instructor, it is not uncommon for a woman with her level of flexibility to exhibit such movements, even while pregnant.
The conspiracy theories surrounding Markle's pregnancies have also extended to involve her half-sister, Samantha, who has allegedly perpetuated false information about Markle's pregnancies.
Despite these baseless accusations, there is no concrete evidence to support the claims that Markle falsified her pregnancies.
The allegations against her have been fueled by irrational animosity rather than factual basis.
In a separate royal news development, Sophie Wessex and Queen Camilla recently joined forces to engage with European royals at Buckingham Palace.
The Countess of Wessex accompanied the Queen Consort as they welcomed several prominent European figures, including the Crown Princess of Denmark and Queen Mathilde of Belgium and Jordan, among others.
The event aimed to raise awareness about gender-based violence, aligning with the UN's campaign against violence targeting women and girls.
As the scrutiny surrounding Meghan Markle's pregnancies continues to persist, it underscores the challenges faced by public figures in navigating unfounded rumors and conspiracies.
Despite the lack of substantiated evidence, the Duchess remains a subject of intense speculation, highlighting the complexities of life in the public eye.
