Meghan Markle Slams Rumors She Didn’t Give Birth to Archie and Lilibet: “Enough Is Enough”

Meghan Markle Says: Enough With the Conspiracy — “I Gave Birth to My Children”

For years, Meghan Markle has been at the center of relentless rumors and baseless conspiracy theories. Among the most persistent—and hurtful—are those that question whether she truly gave birth to her children, Archie and Lilibet. Now, in a rare and candid moment, Meghan is speaking out, setting the record straight and demanding that the speculation end.

The speculation began not long after Meghan and Prince Harry shared the joyful news of Archie’s impending arrival in 2018. While most of the world celebrated the growth of the royal family, an undercurrent of skepticism and negativity simmered on social media and tabloid headlines. Observers scrutinized Meghan’s maternity fashion, the way she held her baby bump, and the details—or lack thereof—surrounding her births. A vocal minority accused her of everything from faking her pregnancy to hiring a surrogate.

For years, Meghan remained largely silent in public, focusing on her family and her work. But the rumors haunted her, bubbling up whenever the Sussexes appeared in the spotlight. After the birth of their second child, Lilibet, in 2021, the speculation only intensified. Online forums and gossip columns continued to peddle stories doubting the legitimacy of her pregnancies. Meghan’s supporters have long denounced these rumors as sexist, racist, and cruel, noting that no other member of the royal family has been subjected to such sustained and personal attacks.

Now, the Duchess of Sussex has had enough. In a recent statement, Meghan directly addressed the conspiracy theories: “Let me be clear. I am the mother of Archie and Lilibet. I carried my children, I gave birth to my children, and these persistent rumors are deeply hurtful—not only to me, but to my family. Enough is enough.”

Those words, simple but powerful, reverberated across social media and news outlets worldwide. Support poured in from friends, celebrities, and mothers who have faced scrutiny throughout their own pregnancy journeys. “No woman should have to justify her experience as a mother,” one supporter tweeted. Others highlighted how Meghan’s experience underscored the double standards and racial prejudice still at play in the media’s coverage of her and Harry.

Within the Sussexes’ inner circle, the mood is one of weary resilience. Friends describe Meghan as focused on shielding her children from the glare of the press, emphasizing a happy, normal life in California. They say she wanted to confront these rumors publicly for the sake of her kids—to ensure Archie and Lilibet know, as they grow up, that their mother stood up for them and herself.

As the family continues to build their life away from the pressures of palace life, Meghan’s message is clear: the time has come to put the conspiracy theories to rest. “Motherhood is not up for debate,” she says. “My children are my greatest joy. I will not let anyone steal that truth from me—or from them.”

In shutting down the rumors once and for all, Meghan Markle has reminded the world that sometimes, the most powerful act is simply to speak your truth—and refuse to be silenced.
