Meghan Markle Anniversary Post: What’s Behind That Ultrasound Photo?

Recently, Meghan Markle shared a new photo on her Instagram—possibly a fresh glimpse at either Prince Archie or Princess Lilibet. But oddly enough, this isn’t what caught everyone’s attention. Instead, it sparked new questions and stirred up rumors that have been swirling around the couple for years. Honestly, it’s a bit surprising just how a simple ultrasound image can set off so much speculation.

There’s no denying that Meghan and Prince Harry have been at the center of many rumors, some of which are, let’s just say, not very kind or accurate. One persistent story suggests Meghan didn’t actually carry her children herself and used a surrogate instead. Now, whether you believe that or not, it’s hard not to notice how the inclusion of that ultrasound photo kind of feels… intentional? Maybe she wanted to send a quiet message to those rumors—like, “Hey, here’s proof.” But, you know, even if the rumors were true, you’d expect that any parent would have ultrasound images anyway, whether a surrogate or not.

The Odd Choice of Photos – More Questions than Answers?

Meghan’s anniversary post was supposed to celebrate seven years of marriage with Prince Harry. She shared a collage with happy moments, from their wedding to snippets of family life. The caption was warm, thanking their supporters and reflecting on their journey together as a couple.

Yet the thing that lingered in a lot of people’s minds was — why include that ultrasound photo? It’s not exactly a typical anniversary picture, right? Of course, ultrasounds are personal, so maybe Meghan felt comfortable sharing something so intimate. But it’s weird in the sense that it actually made some people double down on their skepticism.

Interestingly, some internet detectives zoomed in on another photo in the collage where Meghan is sporting a baby bump. Yes, a real baby bump—or at least, that’s what it looks like. A few contentious voices online have gone as far as to call it a “fake pregnancy belly,” linking it to something called a “moon bump.” I won’t lie, I’d never heard the term before, but apparently it’s a certain kind of fake belly bump that people sometimes use.

Then there’s the critique about the ultrasound itself. A few users pointed out that for an ultrasound to be “genuine” it usually needs to display the mother’s name, the date of the scan, and other details. This ultrasound photo didn’t have those, so naturally, some folks are shouting “fake!” once again. This kind of nitpicking, honestly, just feels like people trying to find reasons to distrust the couple no matter what.

Trying to Prove a Point — But Who’s Listening?

If Meghan’s intention was to settle the matter— to end the annoying chatter about surrogacy and pregnancies—then maybe she underestimated how persistent the rumors are. It’s funny, but the kind of skepticism she faced after showing what should be a personal, joyful moment just shows how difficult it is for public figures to control their narratives.

Also, you have to wonder if she’s caught in a bit of a bind. On one hand, she wants to be open and vulnerable with her fans. On the other, just revealing something as personal as an ultrasound opens the door for all kinds of interpretations. People are going to see what they want to see.

I think this also says something about how intense the scrutiny is, especially for someone who stepped away from the royal family. It feels like no matter what Meghan does, some people will invent reasons to doubt or criticize her. And her expressing love for Harry on their anniversary? That should be simple, pure, and genuine. Instead, it becomes a splashpoint for conspiracy theories and online arguments.

So yeah, that ultrasound photo is more than just an image. It’s a kind of statement—or maybe an invitation. An invitation for people to either finally accept a piece of the couple’s private life or to dig in even harder and question it. Which path people choose seems to depend less on evidence and more on their own biases.

A Bit of Ambiguity—But Also Understanding

I have to admit, part of me feels a little sorry for Meghan and Harry here. Being in the public eye is never really easy, but this constant fence-sitting between wanting to share and wanting to protect family moments has got to be exhausting.

At the same time, I get why some fans are curious or skeptical—celebrity worlds are mysterious, after all, and sometimes tiny clues feel like puzzles to solve. But honestly, does it really matter if Meghan used a surrogate or not? From my perspective, if the family is happy and healthy, that should be what counts most.

In any case, that ultrasound photo—and the whole anniversary collage—has done what it probably set out to do: got people talking, guessing, and debating yet again. Whether that’s a win, a risk, or just a complicated mix, I guess only Meghan and Harry truly know.
