A recent photo released by Meghan Markle’s PR team, supposedly featuring her son Archie, has been exposed as fake news.
The image, which shows the baby swaddled in a light green blanket, was shared on the Sussex Royal Twitter account with a message from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex expressing their hope that everyone would enjoy the new photos of Archie.
However, it has now been revealed that the same photograph had been shared two weeks earlier on the Instagram page of fitness instructor Bella Kraus.
Bella Kraus, a German mother who recently gave birth to her own child, Maddox Nino, was shocked to discover that the Sussexes had used her baby’s photo to pass off as Archie.
She expressed her dismay, calling their behavior “insolent.”
Unfortunately, by the time the truth came out, many people had already fallen for the deception.
Comments praising the baby’s appearance flooded in, with people saying he looked beautiful, healthy, and adorable.
These comments only served to boost Meghan Markle’s confidence and reinforce her belief that the public would believe anything she said.
This incident is not the first time Meghan Markle has been accused of manipulating the truth.
The Sun newspaper attempted to expose her tactics but was quickly shut down.
In an interview with The Cut last year, Markle complained about being hounded by photographers during the school run, claiming that she and Prince Harry would face constant media attention if they remained in the UK.
Describing a typical interaction between Markle and Archie at the preschool gate, the publication painted a picture of a loving mother and son eagerly reuniting after a day apart.
Markle also claimed that she would never be able to do drop-offs and pickups without them turning into royal photo calls with the UK press.
She cited the presence of 40 photographers as evidence of the intrusive media coverage.
However, Chris Shipp, the royal editor at ITV, took to Twitter to debunk Markle’s claim, stating that Prince William and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, faced no such problems during their children’s school runs.
Shipp explained that cameras were only allowed on the first day of school, and even then, only two cameras were permitted, with the footage shared among broadcasters and publications.
Piers Morgan, a prominent British journalist, commended Shipp for calling out Markle’s lies and expressed hope that he would not face repercussions for doing so.
Shipp responded by reiterating the facts, emphasizing that there were no cameras present during the school runs of Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
He clarified that on the first day of school, only two cameras were allowed with the school’s permission, and the footage was shared among various media outlets.
This latest incident has further fueled the ongoing debate surrounding Meghan Markle’s credibility and honesty.
While her supporters continue to defend her every word, skeptics argue that she is playing a dangerous game of manipulating the truth for her own gain.
As the controversy rages on, it remains to be seen how Markle’s reputation will be affected and whether the public will continue to believe her every word.
