Following the release of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix docuseries and the announcement of Harry’s memoir, an outlandish rumour that has been circulating for years has resurfaced.
This rumour alleges that Markle used a surrogate to deliver her children with Harry, and in some cases, it even maintains that their kids are non-existent.
The latest development in this ongoing speculation comes from a Redditor who happens to be a nurse practitioner.
They claim to have proof that Meghan used a surrogate.
The nurse practitioner states, “I think I’ve finally figured out why Meghan, during her pregnancy with Archie, was unable to get the help that she needed when battling depression to the point of suicide.
It links to my suspicion that Archie was a surrogate pregnancy.”
This nurse practitioner, based in Los Angeles and familiar with medical practices in the US, questions whether Meghan saw an obstetrician for her first pregnancy with Archie.
They believe that the absence of any mention of medical treatment in interviews, articles, or books about her pregnancy raises doubts.
In the US, pregnant patients are routinely screened for depression using the PHQ-9 questionnaire, and the nurse practitioner assumes a similar practice exists in the UK.
According to the nurse practitioner, Meghan did not receive psychological screening from her obstetrician during her nine months of pregnancy.
Instead, she sought help from HR.
In the UK, it is expected that physicians inquire about mood disorders during antenatal visits, or refer patients to psychiatrists or primary care doctors for assistance.
The nurse practitioner emphasizes the seriousness of mood disorders during the perinatal period and the importance of early treatment.
During the Oprah interview, Meghan mentioned seeking help from HR, not an obstetrician or psychiatrist.
This detail leads the nurse practitioner to deduce that if Archie was indeed carried by a surrogate, Meghan might not have had regular appointments with an obstetrician, making it difficult to establish a solid treatment plan.
Additionally, the nurse practitioner speculates that Meghan may not have disclosed the surrogacy to HR, feeling compelled to turn to them for support instead.
Public opinion on Meghan Markle remains divided.
While many distrust her and believe she seeks attention to undermine the monarchy, there is also a section of the public, particularly those who admired Princess Diana, who support her.
In response to the Reddit post, one commenter suggests that Meghan went to HR because they were receiving complaints about her alleged bullying, and she wanted to portray herself as the victim.
They argue that if she solely needed therapy or psychiatric help, she could have sought private specialists without public knowledge.
Another commenter agrees, stating that during the Oprah interview, Meghan hinted at wanting to go somewhere for treatment, implying inpatient care at a mental health facility.
There are rumors that she actually desired to go to a holistic rehab center on a tropical island owned by one of her friends, which some speculate could have been another opportunity for advertising.
While these theories and rumors continue to circulate, it is important to note that they remain speculative and lack concrete evidence.
The question of whether Meghan Markle used a surrogate for her children remains unanswered, and unless further information emerges, it will likely remain a subject of debate and speculation.
