A recent social media post has stirred up controversy surrounding the birth of Archie, the first child of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The post, allegedly from the official Kensington Palace X account, claimed that Archie was born in 2019 via a surrogate.

The supposed announcement was made on May 6, 2019, from Frogmore Cottage, a royal residence in Windsor.

According to reports, the mainstream media did not cover this announcement, leading to speculation and confusion among the public.

Similar posts with the same theme have surfaced on various platforms such as Reddit, Facebook, and X over the years, garnering significant views and interactions.

However, fact-checking website Snopes has cast doubt on the authenticity of the post, suggesting that the Kensington Royal X account used by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may not have been the source of the tweet.

Additionally, credible news sources have not reported on the alleged surrogacy of Archie’s birth.

One notable discrepancy pointed out by Snopes is that the purported tweet was said to have originated from Frogmore Cottage, where the Prince and Princess of Wales were not residing at the time.

In 2019, the couple’s primary residence was an apartment within the grounds of Kensington Palace in London, not at Kensington Palace in Slough, Windsor.

It is worth noting that when Archie’s birth was officially announced on May 6, 2019, the British Royal Family’s website did not mention anything about surrogacy.

The Duchess of Sussex has been the subject of surrogacy conspiracy theories in various news outlets, adding fuel to the ongoing speculation.

The lack of coverage by mainstream media and the absence of confirmation from credible sources have raised questions about the validity of the surrogate birth claims.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not addressed these rumors directly, leaving room for speculation and debate among the public.

As the controversy continues to unfold online, it remains unclear whether there is any truth to the surrogacy allegations surrounding Archie’s birth.

The conflicting information and lack of official statements have only fueled the fire of speculation, prompting discussions and debates across social media platforms.
