Meghan Markle sparked pregnancy rumors weeks ago when she stepped out in public in Beverly Hills.
In its Jan. 11 issue, In Touch Weekly published a photo of Markle and Prince Harry running an errand in Los Angeles.
Markle is wearing a black oversized shirt and navy-blue skinny jeans. And she also wore a navy-blue coat and black face mask during the outing.
The photo shows Markle’s oversized shirt bulging around the stomach area. And the tabloid immediately assumed that she’s pregnant.
A source even accused Markle of trying to cover her growing baby bump by wearing layers of clothing.
“Harry wasn’t even wearing a jacket – just a light shirt – yet she was all bundled up. Her jacket was open, so you could still spot the bump. The buzz is she’s four months pregnant,” the source said.
Prince Harry and Markle’s outing took place on Dec. 20. This means that if Markle is four months pregnant, she would’ve found out about her baby news sometime in July or August.
This is unlikely to happen because the Duchess of Sussex suffered a miscarriage in July. As such, Markle would’ve still been recovering from the loss of her unborn child so it’s unlikely for her to get pregnant.
Still, the tabloid insisted that Prince Harry and Markle had a Christmas miracle.
The couple, allegedly, considers Markle’s pregnancy as a blessing. And they claimed that the first people that they informed about her pregnancy were Doria Ragland and Queen Elizabeth.
Prince Harry also phoned Prince William to inform the latter that his wife is expecting. And this was the Duke of Sussex’s way of mending his relationship with his older brother.
While a piece of pregnancy news sounds exciting, there is no truth to the tabloid’s claims.
If Markle is already four months pregnant, her stomach would already be enlarged. It will also be very difficult for her to hide her baby bump.
This isn’t the first time that Markle sparked pregnancy rumors.
Last month, OK! magazine claimed that Prince Harry and Markle are already trying for another baby after the latter’s recent miscarriage.
A source said that the couple is determined to put the tragedy behind them. And what better way to forget about it than to try for another baby.
The source also said that the only upside to Markle and Prince Harry losing their unborn child is the couple becoming so much stronger and closer to each other.
