The age of Meghan Markle has once again become a topic of discussion as lawyers are set to interrogate her over claims made by her estranged half-sister.
Judge Charlene Edwards-Honeywell has stated that Meghan and Harry will face grueling questioning regarding these allegations.
The court papers filed by her sister assert that Meghan was born in 1977, while Meghan herself revealed her true age during another court case in London in 2021.
Adding fuel to the fire, a claim made on Twitter was retweeted by royal biographer Angela Levin, known for her criticism of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
In this tweet, Meghan was referred to as “Princess Pinocchio,” a term popularized by TV presenter Piers Morgan to describe Harry’s wife.
The tweet highlighted a slip-up revelation, suggesting a 13-year age gap between Meghan and her half-sister Samantha, who is currently 57 years old.
This would make Meghan 44 years old, contradicting her official listing of 41 years.
Further controversy arises from an alleged email shared on social media, purportedly written by Meghan herself.
Although neither Meghan nor her lawyers challenged the authenticity of these emails submitted as evidence, conspiracy theorists seized upon them.
One theory suggests that Meghan’s age is being concealed, with an old graduation photo used as evidence.
The photo, featuring Meghan wearing a graduation cap with the number “95” on it, has sparked speculation that she was 18 years old at the time, making her 45 years old now.
This theory is fueled by the desire to present Meghan as not significantly older than her 38-year-old husband.
The possibility of Meghan Markle lying about her age has stirred debate online.
Some argue that her financial means would allow her to maintain such a deception.
The release of Tom Bauer’s book has reignited interest in Meghan’s age, as it reveals that she protested against a Procter and Gamble commercial with sexist undertones when she was just 11 years old.
Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, allegedly encouraged her to join the protest and even wrote letters to the company’s chairman and then-first lady Hillary Clinton.
However, some eagle-eyed royal fans have pointed out that Hillary Clinton did not become the first lady until 1993, when Meghan would have been 16 years old.
This has raised doubts about Meghan’s stated birth year of 1977.
Social media users have suggested various means of confirming Meghan’s age, such as checking classmate.com, which scans and uploads high school yearbooks.
Additionally, Meghan herself mentioned being a sophomore in high school during the Rodney King riots, further supporting her claim of being born in 1977.
As the controversy surrounding Meghan Markle’s age continues to unfold, lawyers are preparing to delve into the claims made by her half-sister.
The truth behind Meghan’s age remains elusive, with conflicting evidence and theories circulating online.
Only time will tell if this ongoing debate will be resolved or if it will persist as an enigma surrounding the Duchess of Sussex.
