Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, recently made a public appearance, her first since announcing her absence from King Charles' coronation.
However, the spotlight shifted from her announcement to speculations about her transformed appearance, with some suggesting she underwent cosmetic surgery to resemble her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton.
Appearing in a video for photographer Misan Harriman's TED talk, Markle's new look stirred discussions on social media. Some observers noted similarities to Middleton, prompting speculation about potential cosmetic enhancements. Twitter users shared varied opinions, with one suggesting a cosmetic surgery alert and accusing Markle of aspiring to emulate Middleton.
Amid claims that Markle altered her eye color to mirror Middleton's, fans defended the Duchess, attributing the perceived changes to lighting, angles, and hairstyling choices rather than surgical interventions. Dismissing plastic surgery rumors, one supporter emphasized the role of lighting and contouring in shaping Markle's appearance.
As discussions unfolded, comparisons were drawn not only to Middleton but also to other celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, and Jennifer Aniston. Opinions on the changes ranged from theories of facelifts, lip fillers, and buccal fat removal to speculation about cheek fillers, Botox, and chin implants.
Sources close to Markle revealed that her physical transformation was linked to weight loss after pregnancies. Having gained weight during her pregnancies and subsequently shedding it, Markle embraced a new style. Despite the buzz surrounding her appearance, Markle's decision to skip Charles' coronation and her recent public absence added another layer of intrigue.
The Duchess of Sussex's evolving look continues to capture attention, leaving fans and critics alike pondering the motivations behind her apparent transformations and sparking discussions about societal expectations and beauty standards.
