By Royal Exposé Correspondent, December 30, 2025** In yet another explosive chapter of the Sussex saga that’s gripping royal watchers worldwide, long-standing suspicions about Meghan Markle’s pregnancies have roared back into the spotlight – and this time, the evidence is staring us right in the face.
Critics have pointed out for years that the Duchess of Sussex’s baby bump appeared unnaturally **high** on her torso, positioned more like a stomach protrusion than the low, pelvic-based swell of a genuine pregnancy.
Now, side-by-side comparisons with authentically pregnant women are going viral, highlighting a stark difference that many say screams “fake” – or at the very least, heavily padded for dramatic effect. “You get pregnant in your uterus, not your stomach,” one viral post declares, echoing the sentiments of thousands online. And they’re not wrong:
Medical experts and countless mothers agree that a real baby bump starts low in the pelvis, where the uterus expands, gradually rising as the pregnancy progresses. But Meghan’s? It consistently rode **high under her ribcage**, often looking firm, square, and detached – classic signs, detractors claim, of a prosthetic “moonbump” designed to simulate pregnancy without the real thing. Take the infamous Birkenhead visit in January 2019, when Meghan was supposedly seven months pregnant with Archie. Photos from that day show her bump perched impossibly high, almost brushing her chest, while she dramatically cradled it in outfits that seemed tailored to accentuate the odd placement.
Compare that to everyday pregnant women at similar stages: Their bumps sit lower, rounding out from the pubic bone upward in a natural, fluid curve. One viral comparison montage juxtaposes Meghan’s high-riding “bump” against a real mother’s low, grounded swell – the difference is night and day. Even more damning are the moments when Meghan’s bump appeared to “shift” or “drop” unnaturally. Remember the video of her squatting effortlessly in high heels while heavily pregnant? Real moms chime in: “No way – at nine months, your center of gravity shifts low; you can’t squat like that without toppling!” Others note the infamous “popping” sound in clips where the bump seems to adjust itself.
And let’s not forget the twerking hospital video for Lilibet’s birthday – critics zoomed in on the “firm, high” protrusion that moved independently, fueling moonbump theories anew. Insiders and online sleuths argue this wasn’t just vanity or yoga prowess; it was deliberate deception. “Meghan always hiked that bump up too high because a real one grows from the uterus,” one commentator fumed on social media. Comparisons to Kate Middleton’s pregnancies only amplify the contrast:
The Princess of Wales carried low and naturally, her bump evolving organically without the dramatic “coat flicks” Meghan famously employed to draw attention to hers. Why the high placement? Moonbump proponents say prosthetics are often positioned higher for comfort and concealment under clothing, lacking the authentic low anchor of a uterine pregnancy. Persistent rumors of surrogacy – amplified by Meghan’s estranged family and resurfaced in 2025 tabloids – suggest the “bump” was all show, no grow.
From frozen eggs whispers to odd birth timelines (Archie allegedly delivered in mere hours, with the couple home quickly), the puzzle pieces fit a narrative of staged motherhood. Royal historians note the irony: While Kate embraced traditional maternity styles with low, realistic bumps, Meghan’s seemed engineered for maximum visibility – high, proud, and perpetually stroked. “It was like she was advertising something fake,” one expert quipped. And in a world where celebrity pregnancies are scrutinized, these inconsistencies have kept the debate raging for years.
As Harry and Meghan ring in another year in Montecito, far from royal scrutiny, these resurfaced photos serve as a stark reminder: For many, the Duchess’s pregnancies remain the ultimate unsolved mystery. Was it all real, or the most elaborate royal illusion ever? The high bump says it all – and the comparisons don’t lie. What do YOU think – genuine glow or moonbump glow-up? The comments are open, and this story is far from over. *Sources include archived photos, viral comparisons, and ongoing public discussions from 2019-2025.*
