Meghan Markle seems to emerge in the media spotlight every few months, but the latest rumors surrounding her have truly captured attention.
A viral post by Andrea Yanker on X (formerly Twitter) reveals that German journalist Orgun is preparing to release a documentary through ZDF, allegedly exposing a secret daughter of Meghan Markle. The documentary, scheduled to air in December, is already fueling widespread speculation about Meghan's hidden past.
The rumor gained momentum after a June 2024 article from Focus Online suggested that Meghan might have had a secret daughter when she was just 18. Some online sleuths are pointing to a woman named En Rasmussen as the possible daughter at the center of this surprising revelation. This theory hinges on the fact that Rasmussen was reportedly born in 1997, which would make her 27 years old today—an age that would correspond with Meghan being 18 at the time of her alleged motherhood. Online commentators have begun connecting the dots, speculating that Rasmussen and other women could be half-sisters to Meghan’s known children, Archie and Lilibet, with a 14-year age gap adding further intrigue.
A particularly fascinating aspect of this rumor is the potential impact it could have on Meghan's already strained relationship with the British royal family. Speculation is mounting that if the documentary’s claims are substantiated, it could create an even greater rift between Prince Harry and his family. Would Harry stand by Meghan, or could these alleged secrets force him to reconsider their relationship? This potential scandal could also cast new light on Meghan's recent efforts to reconcile with the royal family. If there is any truth to the secret daughter claim, distancing herself from past controversies might become crucial. However, as one internet user pointed out, Meghan’s quest for fame may have blinded her to the risks of old secrets resurfacing at the most inconvenient moments—a common pitfall for celebrities.
While the notion of a secret daughter is undeniably sensational, not everyone is convinced. A German commentator speculated that the documentary might simply be a clickbait ploy to attract viewers. In an interview from June, Orgun reportedly did not mention a secret child, instead focusing on Meghan’s ambitions and potential involvement in American politics. However, documentaries often contain tantalizing tidbits designed to keep viewers hooked, and this one seems no different.
These rumors also clash with earlier narratives about Meghan’s pregnancies with her two children, Archie and Lilibet. Critics online have long argued that Meghan’s accounts of her labor and delivery seemed inconsistent or fabricated. One particularly scrutinized story involved her craving takeout during labor—a detail that raised eyebrows, with a critic noting that most people would not want food during childbirth. Such inconsistencies have only fueled further suspicions that Meghan may not have experienced childbirth firsthand.
Even if this documentary turns out to be another case of exaggerated claims, it has undeniably stirred up controversy. Public opinion surrounding Meghan and Harry has been polarized for years, and this latest twist is sure to intensify the drama even more. Whether the allegations of a secret daughter are true or not, the situation has once again put Meghan under the microscope, with many wondering what other hidden truths may eventually come to light.
