### Unverified Claim About Meghan Markle Circulates Online

A persistent and unverified rumor alleging that Meghan Markle faked her pregnancies has once again gone viral on social media and YouTube, with recent videos falsely claiming that British broadcaster Piers Morgan has “exposed” the Duchess of Sussex with new evidence of a “pregnancy lie.” Titles like “Piers Morgan DESTROYS Meghan Markle after NEW Evidence EXPOSES Her Pregnancy Lies” and “Piers Morgan DROPS Surrogacy BOMBSHELL on Meghan Markle” have racked up views in late 2025, reigniting a long-debunked conspiracy theory that dates back to 2018–2019.

The core allegation stems from the so-called “moonbump” theory: conspiracy theorists claim Markle used a prosthetic fake belly to simulate pregnancies with son Archie (born 2019) and daughter Lilibet (born 2021), and that the children were actually born via surrogate. Proponents scrutinize old photos and videos for supposed inconsistencies, such as the shape or movement of her bump. These claims have been amplified on platforms like YouTube, Reddit, and fringe sites, often by accounts dedicated to criticizing the Sussexes.

However, there is no credible evidence supporting these accusations. Official birth records confirm Markle gave birth to both children in hospitals—Archie at Portland Hospital in London and Lilibet at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California. Photos from her pregnancies, ultrasound images shared in the couple’s Netflix documentary, and public appearances have been dismissed by believers as fabricated or CGI. Fact-checks from outlets like Vice and misinformation trackers have labeled this a QAnon-style conspiracy, often laced with misogynistic and racist undertones targeting Markle as a biracial woman.

Piers Morgan, a vocal critic of Meghan Markle, has frequently attacked her on air and social media, calling her claims in the 2021 Oprah interview “lies” and mocking her personal moments. In June 2025, he made headlines for a crude jab at a resurfaced video of a heavily pregnant Markle dancing in a hospital room to induce labor, tweeting, “We’re about 2 months away from the sex tape…” This comment reignited surrogacy rumors among his followers, but Morgan has not presented any actual evidence of faked pregnancies. Recent viral videos attributing “bombshells” or “new evidence” to him appear to be sensationalized clickbait from gossip channels, not based on verified statements from Morgan himself.

The feud between Morgan and Markle is well-documented. They met briefly in 2015 via Twitter, had drinks in a London pub, and Morgan has claimed she “ghosted” him after meeting Prince Harry. He has since obsessively criticized her, leading to his 2021 departure from Good Morning Britain after dismissing her suicidal thoughts. While Morgan thrives on controversy and has doubled down on calling Markle a “liar,” he has not endorsed the extreme surrogacy theories in mainstream appearances.

These rumors persist in echo chambers of anti-Markle communities, such as subreddits like r/SaintMeghanMarkle, where users speculate wildly. Yet, no reputable news source or investigation has found merit in the claims. As misinformation experts note, even direct evidence like birth videos would likely be dismissed by hardcore believers.

In an era of polarized media, such stories highlight how old conspiracies can resurface for clicks. Meghan and Harry have largely ignored them, focusing on privacy for their children. Ultimately, without proof, this remains an unverified—and widely debunked—online myth.
