She may want to have children with Prince Harry someday, but that doesn’t mean fans of Meghan Markle should believe recent reports claiming she is already four months pregnant.
A recent report from In Touch Weekly claims the Duchess of Sussex is allegedly four months pregnant and expecting twins with Prince Harry, stating the royal couple conceived their babies while on their honeymoon. However, Gossip Cop has refuted the claim, stating that it is false.
The tabloid’s alleged “Source” claimed that the babies were conceived during the couple’s honeymoon and that they would be expecting two girls—one named after his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and one named after his late mother, Princess Diana.
“They got lucky on their honeymoon! They’re so excited,” the source said. “The baby that is born first will be called Diana, and the second will be Elizabeth.”
The source also claimed Markle had felt pressure to get pregnant right away after she married Prince Harry on May 19, which made their quick conception even more of a relief.
“[She] felt a tremendous responsibility to get pregnant,” the source said. “She was in a state of panic because she didn’t want to disappoint Harry, the queen and the whole royal family.”
However, Gossip Cop confirms the story is false, and Markle is not pregnant, noting that she just hosted her first major event as Duchess and made a speech at the event—and certainly didn’t look to be four months pregnant with twins while she did.
This isn’t the first time Markle has been surrounded by rumors she was pregnant or even ones which suggested she was having twins. Several outlets claimed a similar story as early as June, though none were proven to be true.
In addition, it’s been reported that Markle may choose to delay pregnancy, at least until after she’s completed her upcoming royal tour, which features an extensive travel schedule. Among the countries the Duke and Duchess are visiting are Australia, Fiji, the Kingdom of Tonga and New Zealand.
