Is Meghan Markle’s pregnancy video fake?

Observant viewers claim that the way Meghan moves in the video proves her pregnancy was faked.

A recent video shared by Meghan Markle celebrating her daughter Lilibet’s fourth birthday has got royal conspiracy theorists talking. The clip, which was supposedly recorded while Meghan was pregnant with Lilibet, shows the Duchess twerking and lip-syncing to the Baby Mama Dance.

Markle shared the clip to her Instagram on Wednesday. It featured her and Harry dancing in what appears to be a hospital room. While some Sussex haters have labeled the video as “cringe,” others have taken it a step further by claiming that the baby bump was fake. Some even suggested that the entire video had been faked in some way.

Why are people saying Meghan Markle’s pregnancy video is fake?

Insane and frankly cruel speculation online centered around the fact that Meghan appeared to be far too mobile and agile in the clip. At this point she was very close to giving birth, in fact, the caption suggests that this video was recorded after Lilibet’s initial due date.

“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!”

She is clearly quite heavily pregnant and many claimed that she wouldn’t be able to twerk or move the way she does in the video if the pregnancy was real. While it’s true, most women would not want to be throwing it back while 40 weeks pregnant.

Some also suggested that they thought the bump looked fake while others claimed that the entire video was AI. This all leans into a wider conspiracy that Meghan was never really pregnant which has been discussed numerous times in the past on sites like Reddit. The theorists claim that her two children were supposedly delivered by surrogate mothers while she wore a prosthetic baby bump known as a “moonbump.”

Nobody has any proof to back up these claims of course, it’s all just wild speculation based on nothing much at all. People are looking too deep into things again which is sort of par for the course when it comes to the royal family.

Is the pregnancy video fake?

While it’s not entirely outside the realms of possibility, there isn’t really any evidence that confirms this to be the case. Plenty of Sussex defenders online have come out in defense of the video and debunked many of the haters’ claims.

X user, @stilldrereacts went through and debunked many of the major claims such as the bump looking fake, people have different body types, a baby bump will look different person to person. He also pointed out the bump likely looked different due to a fetal heart monitor being attached to keep track of the baby’s heartbeat. As for being able to dance while so heavily pregnant, once again, not all bodies are the same, just because some people would struggle to move like that at 40 weeks doesn’t mean everyone would!
