Netizens are buzzing over an image of Meghan Markle wearing a black dress, sitting on a chair, and holding her belly tightly, which many are speculating to be a “fake baby bump.” Opinions on the matter are divided: some criticize Meghan for what they see as deceptive behavior, while others argue that she’s simply enjoying her pregnancy and doesn’t deserve such scrutiny. The debate continues to rage online, with the topic of the “fake baby bump” becoming a hot discussion point that has captured the attention of many.
A few days ago, social media conspiracy theorists have weaponised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s twerking hospital video to spread wild and groundless speculation that she wasn’t pregnant at all and was wearing a ‘moonbump‘.
A group of Twitter critics of the Sussexes have even made the extraordinary claim that the dancing video was faked and made on a film set – or could be AI-generated.
Meghan yesterday posted a video of her and Prince Harry twerking in a hospital room in an attempt to induce Lilibet’s birth.

Meghan yesterday posted a video of her and Prince Harry twerking in a hospital room in an attempt to induce Lilibet’s birth.
Trolls have also claimed that Meghan would have been wearing a gown and would have had her jewellery removed.
Others have questioned why she wasn’t hooked up to an IV drip containing induction medication. One person claiming to be a nurse said that she should have had a canula in her hand. Another alleged that she would not have one fitted while in her own clothes.
Some Twitter users crudely marked the pictures with what they considered inaccuracies, using child-like scribbles.
MailOnline has asked a spokesman for the Sussexes to comment.
The video has sparked a social media frenzy.
In it, Harry is seen coming into view of the camera as Starrkeisha’s viral Baby Mama song begins to play.
A heavily pregnant Meghan then starts twerking in front of a hospital bed before she gyrates around the room.
‘Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn’t work – there was only one thing left to do!,’ Meghan wrote on her Instagram.
The Baby Mama dance was a social media craze in 2018 with celebs Shay Mitchell, and Chloe and Lauryn Goodman all previously posting videos of themselves taking part in the trend.
Meghan had earlier shared two previously unseen photos of Lilibet with Harry. One of the pictures showed the Duke of Sussex holding his daughter’s hand as they walked along a sandy road barefoot in the sunshine, while he held his shoes and a cap.
The other image was of Harry holding Lilibet as a baby while they looked at each other. Meghan wrote in a post accompanying the pictures: ‘The sweetest bond to watch unfold. Daddy’s little girl and favorite adventurer. Happy birthday Lili!’

The post was made at 7.40am California time (3.40pm UK), just under eight hours after Meghan earlier posted two other intimate family photos of her with Lilibet.
In that post, the Duchess shared a black-and-white snap of herself cuddling Lili, who was sat on her lap, with the pair both sporting windswept hair, seemingly on a boat.
The second image in the first post showed Meghan tenderly cradling newborn Lilibet as she enjoyed skin-to-skin time with the new addition to her family in 2021.
Meghan wrote in the first post: ‘Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives – and each day is brighter and better because of it.
‘Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!’
The duchess usually only shares photos of her daughter pictured from behind to protect her privacy.
But in the more recent photo, Lili’s eyes and the top half of her face could be seen, with her nose and mouth and the rest of her face covered by Meghan’s arms as she hugged the princess.
Lili – the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s youngest child – was born on June 4 2021 and was named Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
She only became entitled to be a princess when her grandfather the King acceded to the throne, because of rules set out by King George V in 1917.
Harry and Meghan started using prince and princess for Archie and Lili after the princess’s christening in 2023, following correspondence with Charles about the matter.
Yesterday, Meghan expressed her dream of launching a future business with Lili as she chatted to Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles on her podcast.
‘I wonder if one day I’ll be in business with Lili and we’ll be building something,’ the duchess said, with Knowles adding: ‘That’s the best.’
