King Charles has reportedly reached his limit with the ongoing speculation surrounding his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet.
He is now demanding concrete evidence—literally. According to reports, His Majesty is supporting an investigation into whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children were indeed born to Meghan. Apparently, their mere existence isn’t enough; official documentation, medical records, and perhaps even a sworn statement from the stork itself are now required.
For years, conspiracy theories about the Sussex children’s origins have been circulating, ranging from secret surrogates to frozen embryos. It’s the kind of scandal that feels more fitting for a Netflix drama than real-life British royalty. However, mounting pressure from Parliament and relentless online sleuths is allegedly pushing the palace to demand proof. The situation has taken on the feel of a medieval paternity test—are they truly of royal blood? Bring forth the parchment!
Harry and Meghan haven’t exactly done much to dispel the rumors. Unlike Prince William and Princess Catherine, who proudly presented their newborns outside the hospital like a scene straight out of The Lion King, Meghan and Harry took a far more secretive approach. Archie’s birth was announced only after it had already happened, and when he finally made his first public appearance, he was wrapped so tightly that barely more than his forehead was visible. Lilibet’s arrival was even more mysterious—no grand hospital photocall, just a simple announcement from Montecito headquarters. Now, royal author Lady Colin Campbell and other critics are demanding transparency. “This whole thing stinks,” Lady C declared, and frankly, she might have a point.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry continues his legal battle for security in the UK, determined to obtain taxpayer-funded protection for his family. This, despite the fact that he willingly stepped away from royal duties years ago. If Harry and Meghan are truly so concerned about their children’s safety and privacy, why not put the rumors to rest once and for all? They’ve certainly had no problem speaking out when it suits them—one explosive Oprah interview, two Netflix specials, and an entire book deal later, yet still no medical records confirming something that should be straightforward.
Even Meghan’s estranged father and half-sister have weighed in, with claims that Meghan had frozen her eggs long before Archie’s birth, adding fuel to the surrogate speculation. Samantha Markle bluntly stated that if a surrogate was used, they should just admit it. The real issue here is royal protocol. A titled royal mother must physically give birth to her child for them to remain in the line of succession. If the surrogacy rumors are true, Archie and Lilibet’s royal titles could be in jeopardy.
With King Charles reportedly backing the investigation and Lady C determined to expose the truth, Meghan is said to be furious, blaming Harry for failing to protect their privacy. Ironically, the best way to maintain privacy might have been to address the speculation outright rather than remain cryptic and then sue anyone who dares to ask questions. At this point, the royal family is dealing with its own version of Who’s Your Daddy?—except, in this case, the real question is Who’s Your Mommy? Whether or not this controversy ever reaches a resolution, one thing is certain: it’s keeping the royal gossip mill alive. And as long as Harry and Meghan continue avoiding the subject, people will only dig deeper.
