On Wednesday (4 June), Meghan Markle openly wished her daughter Lilibet, who turned four today, a happy birthday on social media.
The sweer tribute included previously hidden pictures of the Duchess of Sussex, 43, with the little one, including a sweet black and white snap where she’s grabbing her youngest on a boat.
But, as to be predicted like any time Meghan uploads, conspiracy theorists and trolls jumped on the chance to spread their wild theories.
The Duchess has been constant insights into she and Prince Harry’s picture perfect family life since 1 January, when she came back to social media following a four-year break.
In doing so, however, Meghan has led to ceaseless stirs amid critical online communities that seem committed to picking up on and pointing out her every mistake – hence why she’s sadly had to turn off her comments on Instagram.
Because their hair colour looks different in different lights, the children are not actually ‘real’. Users commented that Meghan ‘photoshopped Archie’s toes,’and the speculation has taken a bizarre turn.
And Meghan’s most recent post seems to be no different, with people on social media spotting an ‘edited’ detail in the birthday tribute.
One X user commented that the children are not actually Meghan and Harry’s, boldly writing: “Black and white photos as this time could not get a girl with ginger hair.”
Another added: “Which version of Lilibet is this? This version has fine, straight, blonde hair. And look who is dominating the photo…”
A third wrote: “Always monochrome. Is that easier to retouch? YES.”
With a fourth adding: “The upper body of that kid doesn’t look proportional. But maybe it’s just me trying to detect AI.”
Unfortunately, it’s not the first time Meghan has suffered from bizarre accusations like these, with another recent post fuelling the narrative.
The same image also triggered claims that the apparent darkening of the children’s hair indicated they weren’t the ‘real’ Archie and Lilibet after all.
A second commented: “Her hair changed colour.”
“Different hair colour too,” quipped a third, while a fourth echoed: “Their hair is dark now too.”
And another questioned: “And what about Archie’s hair?”
“Coarse, thick, curly and red… to black and d3ad straight.”
