The 2021 Christmas card photo of Harry and Meghan has caused quite a stir among royal enthusiasts.
This delightful snapshot is the first one to feature their baby daughter, Lilibet, and it also showcases a grown-up Archie with his striking shock of red hair.
Taken during the summer at their family home in California, the photo captures a casual moment with Harry, Meghan, and Archie all dressed in jeans.
In the picture, Meghan proudly cradles little Lilibet, who beams back joyfully at her mother.
Harry looks on, laughing, while Archie, who inherited his father’s red hair, sports a big smile.
However, not everyone is convinced that the photo is genuine.
Some individuals argue that it has been heavily photoshopped, pointing out that Meghan’s thumb appears unusually elongated and her waist seems to have been slimmed down.
Others claim that Lilibet and Archie have been edited as well, citing the unnatural positioning of Lilibet’s right hand and feet, the apparent flattening of the baby’s head by the wooden panel, and the peculiar length difference between the front and back of the baby’s pants.
They deem it a poor job of photoshopping.
Interestingly, some speculate that the picture may have been generated using artificial intelligence (AI), as they believe it cannot accurately depict human hands.
These doubts surrounding the authenticity of the photo add fuel to the ongoing rumor that Meghan Markle faked her pregnancies and used a surrogate instead.
This theory gained traction after the release of the Harkles Netflix docuseries, which allegedly revealed the couple’s behind-the-scenes secrets.
The Markles’ public appearances, coupled with their controversial statements about Harry’s family, have only fueled the flames of speculation.
But the rumors don’t stop there.
Over time, the gossip has evolved to claim that Meghan and Harry’s children may not even exist.
The person credited with starting this speculation is Sadie Quinlan, who regained control of her Twitter account on December 18, 2022, and expressed her gratitude to Elon Musk for his support.
Two days later, Quinlan reportedly launched a new YouTube channel, which quickly gained nearly 3,000 followers.
On these platforms, she continues to assert that Meghan Markle fabricated her pregnancies and used a surrogate.
According to Quinlan’s theory, the former actress employed a prosthetic baby bump, and she shares close-up images of Meghan’s stomach on different occasions as evidence.
Meanwhile, experts have recently accused Prince Harry of neglecting his parental responsibilities towards Archie and Lilibet.
Angela Levin, a renowned commentator, discussed this matter on GB News.
She questioned why the couple had to pay a substantial sum of £117,000 in local council tax for their lavish residence, which boasts amenities such as a library, cinema, gym, spa, pool, tennis court, seven bedrooms (reduced to 13), and 16 bathrooms.
Levin found it peculiar that they would need to seek refuge in a hotel when they already have such luxurious accommodations.
Apparently, one of the hotels is permanently reserved for Harry, suggesting that he may use it as an escape during difficult times.
Levin further pondered whether Meghan’s behavior towards him played a role, or if he was experiencing feelings of depression or threat.
Another hotel, equipped with a gym, is also reserved by him.
Miss Levin expressed her concern, stating that this situation prevents Harry from being readily available for his children, as he won’t be there first thing in the morning due to the distance between them, which seems to grow wider over time.
In conclusion, the release of Harry and Meghan’s Christmas card photo has ignited both excitement and skepticism among royal fans.
