“Gained Weight AFTER Archie!” The Truth About Meghan Markle’s So-Called “Megnancy” Revealed by Lady Colin Campbell
Royal biographer and outspoken aristocrat Lady Colin Campbell has stirred up controversy once again — this time by wading into the long-running speculation surrounding Meghan Markle’s first pregnancy. In a recent interview, Lady Colin boldly claimed that Meghan “gained more weight after Archie was born than during the pregnancy itself,” reigniting rumors and suspicions about what critics have dubbed the infamous “Megnancy.”
For years, conspiracy theories have swirled around Meghan’s 2019 pregnancy, fueled by public scrutiny of her changing appearance, wardrobe choices, and carefully choreographed public outings. From the way her baby bump appeared to shift in size and shape, to her oddly brisk pace while heavily pregnant, some observers questioned whether all was as it seemed. Now, Lady Colin Campbell has thrown gasoline on the fire.
“The timeline doesn’t make sense, and neither does the way she carried herself,” Lady Colin said. “What kind of woman gains more weight after giving birth than during the pregnancy itself? It’s all very peculiar.”
The term “Megnancy” — a nickname blending Meghan and pregnancy — has been used in online forums to suggest that Meghan may not have carried Archie herself, and that a surrogate might have been involved. Though no credible evidence has ever supported these theories, Lady Colin’s comments are reigniting a fierce debate online.
Critics say her statements are not only irresponsible but cruel. Meghan has spoken publicly about the toll media intrusion has taken on her mental and emotional well-being. Yet supporters of Lady Colin argue that her years of experience analyzing royal affairs give her insights others are too afraid to voice.
“She’s only saying what a lot of people have been thinking,” said one royal watcher. “If Meghan truly has nothing to hide, why not address the rumors directly?”
Others defend Meghan fiercely, calling the constant scrutiny of her body sexist, racist, and unfair. “This is a woman who just had a child and was immediately torn apart by the media — now they’re accusing her of faking the entire thing?” one supporter tweeted.
The palace, as expected, has remained silent on the matter, upholding its policy of not responding to gossip. Meghan and Harry, now based in California and independent of royal duties, are unlikely to acknowledge Lady Colin’s remarks directly — but that hasn’t stopped the headlines from spreading.
As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to rebrand themselves as global philanthropists and media entrepreneurs, their critics seem more determined than ever to dig into their past. And with figures like Lady Colin Campbell keeping the spotlight on old rumors, the couple’s attempt to move on from royal drama remains an uphill battle.
One thing is clear: when it comes to Meghan Markle, the controversy never truly disappears — it just evolves.
