The image showed baby Archie touching a photo of his late grandmother, Princess Diana, accompanied by a birthday message. However, some netizens speculated that Archie's pictures from the past had been photoshopped, leading to doubts and allegations about his existence.
Last year, during Archie's birthday, rumors circulated that Meghan had used a surrogate and faked Archie's birth. A particular photo that claimed to be of baby Archie was later debunked as fake. People also questioned the couple's infrequent sharing of pictures of Archie, adding to the mystery surrounding his existence.
Misan Harriman, who previously admitted to photoshopping Meghan and Harry's pregnancy photo, has been involved in capturing various moments for the couple, including a birthday portrait of Lilibet. However, some of his images, including the remote pregnancy shoot, were later exposed as fake.
Amidst the speculations, Harriman's close friendship with Meghan and Harry has been evident, and he has played a role in bringing them together. Harriman was invited to Meghan's wedding and later enjoyed dinner with her the night before her first date with Prince Harry.
While confirming the couple's pregnancy news, a spokesperson highlighted the deep bond between Harriman and the Sussexes.
Despite the controversy surrounding Archie's pictures, the Sussexes have maintained a close relationship with Harriman, appreciating his role in capturing their moments of joy. As the discussion continues, Harriman's work and association with the couple remain a topic of interest for royal watchers.
