“It’s WEIRD,” Meghan Markle Sparks New Debate Over “Fake” Baby Bump

Celebrity pregnancies usually bring waves of excitement and well-wishes, but when it comes to Meghan Markle, things are rarely that simple. A single post has reignited a heated online debate, with many questioning whether the Duchess of Sussex was ever truly pregnant with her daughter, Lilibet. What started as a simple video quickly turned into a firestorm of theories, reactions, and speculation.

Meghan released a snippet of her pregnancy online.

In a recent innocent post on Instagram, the royal member shared a reel featuring her and her baby bump supposedly twerking to induce labor. The post was captioned, “Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates... so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn’t work — there was only one thing left to do! 😂”

People are simply not buying it.

While the couple were doing their thing, people in the comments kept doubting her baby bump, with some saying, “That bump doesn’t look real”, “Does she have a pillow under her dress?” and perhaps the most controversial of all claims, “That’s NOT a real pregnant belly. The rumors were correct. It was all done to look like she was pregnant/delivering a baby, but it was a surrogate handoff.”

Some targeted Markle’s claims of needing privacy.

The royal couple are notoriously serious about their privacy. Now, posting a video of Markle dancing to ’The Baby Mama Dance’ is not everyone’s idea of privacy. Some have said, “These are the same people that needed privacy. They seem to be the most media hungry couple,” and “I want privacy ... proceeds to share videos of her in her ’private’ life—lol.”

These fan theories seem baseless.

Fans seemed to question the baby bump’s shape being odd, but didn’t realize that there was a baby monitor attached to it. One comment said, “It’s weird that so many people in this comment section don’t realize that the baby monitor is wrapped around her stomach.”

Others also spoke out in support of Meghan, saying the video seemed genuine. One wrote, “Extremely unlikely that Meghan went through 9 months of pregnancy without someone noticing that it was fake. Plus the private hospital where she was said to have given birth would also have been in on the conspiracy. Finally, if her enormous bump in.”

Another agreed, “Not fake. I was in a hospital but didn’t have on a nursing gown...a birthing centre in a hospital. No swelling, just a bump. I didn’t wobble when I walked or lean back.”

Meghan Markle is used to facing this kind of backlash — her public outings are frequently criticized as inappropriate.
