Meghan Markle’s no stranger to headlines, but some of the juiciest tales about her are flat-out fake—and one whopper stands above the rest. Since she stepped into the royal spotlight in 2018 and bolted with Prince Harry in 2020, the Duchess of Sussex has been a magnet for misinformation. From tabloid trash to social media storms, fake news about her spreads like wildfire. So, what’s the most circulated myth that just won’t die? Let’s dive in.
Topping the list is the rumor that Meghan faked her pregnancies with Archie and Lilibet. Yep, you read that right. This bonkers claim exploded around 2019, with conspiracy nuts on X and YouTube insisting she used a surrogate or—get this—a “moonbump” under her dresses. They dissected blurry pics from her pregnancy reveal, screaming she “didn’t look pregnant enough” or that her bump “shifted” weirdly. It got so loud that debunkers like Snopes had to step in, pointing out the obvious: she gave birth to Archie in May 2019 at a legit hospital, and Lilibet arrived in June 2021. Still, the rumor’s got legs—recirculating every time she’s spotted without the kids.
Why’s it so sticky? It feeds the “Meghan’s a fraud” narrative her haters love. Critics already slam her for everything from “manipulating Harry” to “milking her royal exit.” Toss in wild claims about her Montecito life—like not owning her mansion (another debunked gem)—and the fake pregnancy tale fits the puzzle they’ve built. It’s fueled by blurry “evidence” and a distrust of her polished image, keeping it alive on platforms like X, where posts still call her “Moonbump Meg” in 2025.
The fallout’s real. Meghan’s clapped back via lawyers and her Netflix series, calling out the toll of lies like these—especially post-miscarriage in 2020. But the rumor mill doesn’t care; it’s too juicy. As of March 26, 2025, this fake news titan keeps circling, outpacing other flops like “she’s running for president” or “Harry’s dumping her.” It’s the champ of Meghan myths—absurd, relentless, and pure tabloid gold.
