Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been married to Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, since May 19th, 2018. Before joining the Royal Family, Markle was an actress best known for portraying Rachel Zane on the hit American TV show Suits. Since marrying Prince Harry, she has retired from acting.
She first connected with Prince Harry when a mutual friend set up a blind date between the pair in 2016. Markle was in London for the Wimbledon, which is the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world.
After this first date went well, they went out on several more dates and eventually began a public relationship. This led to a lot of questions, criticism, and interest from the media and public all over the world.
Many showed their support for the pair, whereas others harassed them and made up false comments and stories. Around a year after the relationship was made public, the two were engaged and married soon after.
After that, the two began their family and currently have two children: 5-year-old Prince Archie and 2-year-old Princess Lilibet. However, there was a social media theory amongst some users that she used a surrogate and wasn’t ever actually pregnant with her children. There are a few reasons used by these theorists as evidence of her using a surrogate.
The Case of Meghan’s Surrogacy
Many of them claim that there were inconsistencies with the size of her baby bump throughout her pregnancy. They also claim that some things she was able to do physically (squatting in stilettos with knees closed or running up a flight of stairs in heels), just wouldn’t be possible if she was pregnant, as it impacts things like your balance and mobility. Some pointed out that there was no immediate photocall at the hospital steps as there had been with other royal births.
Another thing is that the golden easel placed outside of Buckingham Palace to announce the birth didn’t have the names of Meghan’s doctors. For those unfamiliar, Royal births are now announced on social media. However, the traditional practice of putting a framed notice on a golden easel outside of Buckingham Palace is still used.

For many previous births, this notice contained the names of the doctors who helped to deliver the Royal baby. This wasn’t the case for the notice after Archie was born.
It’s important to keep in mind that these theories are all based on speculation. There hasn’t been any solid proof that a surrogate was used. While this theory has never been confirmed, it’s certainly interesting to think about.
