Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are at the center of exciting baby news.
But as always, New Idea decided to publish a misleading headline to convince their fans that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expecting their second child.
“It’s official! Harry and Meghan’s exciting baby news,” the headline read.
But upon closer inspection, the article is about David Foster and Katharine McPhee, who are expecting their first child together.
Since there are reports that Prince Harry and Markle will be celebrating the holidays at the Fosters’ home, New Idea linked the two different storylines into their article.
However, it is important to note that Markle isn’t the one who’s pregnant but the American Idol finalist. And the Duke and Duchess of Sussex aren’t the ones that shared the exciting news about McPhee’s pregnancy either.
The tabloid then went on to talk about Prince Harry and Foster’s friend. While speaking with Access Hollywood, McPhee said that her husband and the Duke of Sussex are like father and son.
“My husband has a really, really beautiful relationship with Harry. They're like, they're so cute. They're like father and son. We just stay in touch with them. But mostly, Meghan and I knew each other from childhood, but really Harry and my husband are friends. It's really nice,” she said.
McPhee and Markle have also known each other since they were students. After all, they went to the same school.
“I went to school with Meghan Markle, I was in middle school, she was in high school. My sister was in her class, they were the same age… She was always lovely, always talented, and always put together,” she said.
New Idea is known for publishing bait and click headlines about the royal family. In June, the tabloid accused Markle of betraying the British clan. And Prince William was, allegedly, the one that’s most concerned about what his sister-in-law was doing.
“William was concerned that the relationship could suffer because they lived on other sides of the Atlantic. And again, he has proved correct as Harry and Meghan have now emigrated. I’m sure he blames Meghan for tearing Harry away,” the source said.
However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt. The Duke of Cambridge hasn’t publicly addressed the issues involving Markle so no one knows for sure what he thinks.
