Meghan Markle’s Lilibet birthday tribute fuels bizarre conspiracy theory as people spot ‘edited’ detail
ArchiveFirst published June 4, 2025. It may not reflect later developments.
On June 4, Meghan Markle celebrated daughter Lilibet’s 4th birthday with a touching black-and-white photo. The image showed Meghan holding her daughter on a boat—an intimate and previously unseen moment.
Soon after posting, online trolls and conspiracy theorists claimed the photo was “edited.” Some pointed out Lilibet’s hair looked too straight or light, while others questioned if the child was even real. One user wrote, “Which version of Lilibet is this?” and another asked, “Whose kid has she borrowed this time?”
This isn’t new. Meghan’s recent Mother’s Day post sparked similar claims—critics said Archie’s toes looked photoshopped and questioned changes in the kids’ hair color. One comment read, “Where is the red hair this week?”
Despite the noise, Meghan and Prince Harry continue sharing moments from their life in California. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, the couple has focused on their family—while often disabling comments to avoid unnecessary drama.
