In a bid to grab attention, Megan Markle recently found herself at the center of controversy.

The Duchess of Sussex was photographed on a hike with close friends Marcus Anderson and Heather Dirac, just a day after King Charles’ coronation.

However, radio broadcaster Oliver Peterson has claimed that this photo opportunity was not a coincidence.

He stated, “She’s obviously done this deliberately, right?

She wants that snap.”

And indeed, she got what she wanted, as her pictures made it to the front page and sparked discussions.

Interestingly, it seems that Megan wasn’t actually hiking at all.

Observers noted that she appeared to have simply been standing around when the pictures were taken.

If she had truly been engaged in physical activity, her demeanor would have been different.

However, the way she posed and looked tired suggested otherwise.

This raised questions among onlookers, as no one else in the group appeared sweaty or fatigued.

Why would Megan, in particular, choose to look tired and stop in such a manner?

Adding to the intrigue, Megan chose to go hiking on her son Archie’s birthday, despite reportedly staying home to celebrate.

She donned black leggings and a black top, along with hiking boots, a red scarf, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat.

Notably, she also seemed to have something around her waist, concealed beneath her shirt and leggings.

Social media users quickly began speculating about the purpose of this mysterious item, offering various theories.

Some suggested that it could be a bum bag or a money belt, used to carry personal belongings.

One Twitter user compared it to a sports pack, commonly used by athletes to hold cell phones.

Another proposed that it might be a weights belt, designed to intensify the workout.

Speculation also arose regarding the possibility of it being a waistband meant to slim the legs, with a high compression feature.

Others even speculated that it could be a tummy-flattening belt or a three-month moon bump, hinting at a potential pregnancy announcement.

In addition to her enigmatic waist accessory, Megan wore the May Brenner X Abigail Spencer necklace, known as the Clarity Retreat necklace.

This crystal piece, designed by May Brenner in collaboration with Megan’s friend and former Suits costume designer Abigail Spencer, is said to help the wearer let go of anything that’s not working and protect their peace.

It carries a message of manifesting desires and releasing negativity, offering a retreat-like experience every day.

Meanwhile, gossip blogger Perez Hilton has weighed in on the situation, suggesting that Prince Harry and Megan Markle should consider returning to the UK.

In an interview with Page Six, Hilton expressed his belief that the couple has exhausted their options and no longer have much to offer.

He stated, “Honestly, they need to give up and move back to the UK.

I feel like it’s inevitable.”

Furthermore, he questioned their potential success in California, claiming that Megan’s chances of reviving her Hollywood career are slim.

According to Hilton, they must adapt to the rules of celebrity if they wish to monetize their status.

As the discussion surrounding Megan Markle’s hiking photos continues, it remains to be seen what the truth behind her intentions and the mysterious waist accessory truly is.

Nevertheless, the Duchess of Sussex continues to captivate both supporters and critics alike, ensuring that her every move remains under scrutiny.
