... can you explain it to me? So many comments on media articles etc saying oh it's because the kdis aren't theirs, they're actors, they have no kids, they just rent them for photos.

Archie was born in England, the Royal family met him, she was photographed with a tiny baby.
Do you think it was a doll or someone was paid to hand over their baby for a photo?
Who are these people who rent our their kids for photos? Why don't they sell their exclusive story for millions?
Why has no one around her, or where the kids reportedly educated, done the same?
What happens when the "kids" become adults and can't reasonably be kept out of sight? Will they "kill" them off, come clean or adopt a couple of fake actors to play the role?

Is this the same as if some woman turned up with a kid he'd had put of wedlock then? I suppose it does rather stop those allegations threatening thrones, isn't there an old guy in Aus desperate to claim he's Charles son.

But I think they're sufficiently far away from the throne, I'm not sure H would care if his child was removed? It doesn't confer any benenfot

Out of wedlock - not in the LoS.
Of course it matters to Harry! He and Meghan are very royalist, they love the titles and the status, privilege and wealth conferred!
There is no way they would have children out of the LoS. It is everything to them.

I would ask mn to remove them .

this thread should be deleted, I reported this afternoon and I can’t believe it’s still here. I do not believe it’s been posted in good faith.

It's no different to any of the ones that pop up in Chat every so often asking what's everyone's favourite mad conspiracy theory.

And it is widespread. Go to any Facebook post from any news outlet or random gossip type place about the children and you will get 100s of repeated "oh look more fake children, which ones has she hired today?"

That is a different issue! , children born out of wedlock are also not eligible for the LOS .
it should also be noted that the rules around surrogacy in the U.K. are different from the US , not only is it forbidden to pay the surrogate anything more than expenses but despite whose eggs or sperm were used, the surrogate is classed as the birth mother and the parents have to adopt the child, this means that there would be even more evidence to cover up .

IAmATorturedPoet · 24/06/2026 20:04

@jeffgoldblum yes I noticed that too. Hopefully, now we have both pointed it out to the OP, she will ask MN to get them deleted.

NotTalkinBoutTheLinen · 24/06/2026 20:04

The screenshots are also showing the OPs photo which not really a great idea.

While I’m giving unsolicited advice, remember to charge your phone and stay off Temu.

Yes, and if you roll around in a pig pen you’ll find it’s full of filth.

WyrdHag · 24/06/2026 20:08

There is acres of this nonsense on YouTube.

My mum is 87 and laps it up, despite me telling her 99% of what she watches is AI created bullshit.

I couldn't give a toss about H & M to be perfectly honest so I just smile and nod and change the subject as quickly as possible because it bores me senseless.

I too think this thread has been started in bad faith in order to provoke a fight that didn’t exist.

I think ages ago there was chatter about moonbumps and wotnot, but we’ve all seen (rather too much of) the kids now so obviously they very much exist.

As others have mentioned, the Kate hate when the woman had cancer was disgusting. On MN it was as terrible as anywhere and a few perpetrators of the bile slunk/were thrown off. That’s why I’m suspicious about these “do the kids exist” threads as I detect that some old hands are desperate to reignite outrage and accuse posters of all the usual crimes.

Absolutely this 👆 well said 👏👏👏

SisterTeatime · 24/06/2026 20:38

The kids are clearly real.

I think it’s possible Meghan wore a moonbump to make her shape ‘better’.

I also think it’s possible that if you scrutinise photos of any pregnant woman some of the photos will look strange or unexpected.

What I do find surprising is that we have never, AFAIK, heard from Meghan about either birth. Now OF COURSE that’s absolutely fine and not only is she under no obligation to talk about it, I’m sure many of us are glad she hasn’t. But for someone who can milk a story for all its worth I do think it’s surprising she hasn’t regaled/one upped the rest of us with it.

I also agree with pp that they have used photos out of date order and possibly other children in photos purporting to be their children, for attention/clicks/to generate interest.

Also that we know Harry and Meghan are frequently rather economical with the truth.

The idea that they’re not real is clearly nuts but I suppose it demonstrates that the Lindo Wing pics etc serve a purpose as a vestige of traditional practices around royal births with the birth being witnessed by various people and the baby shown to the public, due to the importance of the succession and fears about Catholics succeeding etc. maybe H&M got more than they bargained for with their rejection of tradition and misleading the press and public around Archie’s birth 🤷‍♀️

simpsonthecat · 24/06/2026 20:48

Good for them. To stand outside with a complete WALL of photographers flashing cameras at you days after giving birth is obscene
I admire h&,m doing it their own way. The antiquated royal system needs a shake up and they managed that!
Regardless of this line of succession that everyone bleats on about
Who cares, they'll never be taking the throne, William is locked in along with his poor son, bless.him

They did not "shake up" any system. They were working royals as a couple for a very short time. They changed nothing.
They love being royal and having the titles and the status. For themselves and their California based children. They expect deference and use if titles. Meghan has a coronet on her notepaper. These people are not challenging or modernising anything.

I agree. There was something increasingly Gilead about poor, obedient Kate all blow-dried and made-up in heels on the steps of the hospital only hours after giving birth. Especially when she was in that red and white horror and TIGHTS. Ridiculous and unrealistic.

Meghan must’ve thought ‘what absolute freak show have I married into?’ Totally admire her for refusing to be a brood mare/show pony/Stepford wife.

CathyorClaire · 24/06/2026 21:02

There's now too much photo evidence to suggest the kids aren't real but unless there's some Wales-wiping extinction event it's all a bit academic.

And even if such a catastrophe were to occur I can't see the UK public taking an imposed Good King Harold laying down.

Instead she appeared soon after the birth for a photoshoot in Windsor Castle in high heels and a white dress, hair and nails done.
She didn't do anything different really, it was just a couple of days later.
Meghan is no revolutionary, she's a very trad wife in the kitchen with all the jam and the flower sprinkles. Nothing wrong with that, but she's certainly very traditional.

Disagree 100%

If they didn't shake things up why are you still talking about them?!

That makes no sense! 😕
You can discuss people who change nothing?!
Of course they didn't shake anything up. Harry doesn't have the wherewithal and Meghan just wanted to be a trad wife. Nothing wrong with that, her choice. I think a public role was too much for her, so being in the garden or the kitchen suits her.
They shook nothing up. They changed nothing. They like being royal, fair enough. Radical they are not! 😂

simpsonthecat · 24/06/2026 21:14

Never said they were radical. But the fact people are still talking about them seven years after they left means they shook things up somewhat

There'll never be another Meghan 🤣
Windsor children better be accustomed to marrying aristocracy, British white and fits the expectations 😂

But people talk about Kate and William too, they're also not shaking anything up. Being a person of interest to the public doesn't mean you're adding any specific value

What nonsense! You have no idea who they'll marry!
Meghan is pure Gilead - always clinging on to her husband, with her basket of veg , the flower sprinkles, the scented candles. That's her choice as a woman, fair enough, but to suggest she changed anything is utterly ludicrous!
I hope she's happy in the kitchen making jam.
I do wonder what her children will do, as they have insisted on use of the Prince and Princess titles.

Perhaps Meghan will show them how it's done in her high heels, white dress and full face of makeup just after giving birth.
Stepford Wife indeed.

So do you think all the royal women, Kate for example are stepford wives?
disclaimer I don’t.

They haven’t shaken anything up 🤣

The fact that they are still being talked about (and monetised) is because they have made a complete pigs ear of all the opportunities that have come their way and frankly are making themselves look either ridiculously silly or down right hypocritical. It’s a fascinating watch and very much a learning tool for the younger members of the RF in how not to do things.

I don’t think the monarchy have anything to worry about, now or in the future, where these two are concerned.
