Is Meghan Markle Really 45 Years Old?

Age Conspiracy Theory Surrounds the Duchess on Her Birthday

Every year, as Meghan Markle celebrates her birthday, speculation about her true age resurfaces.

Officially, she is listed as 41 years old, but conspiracy theorists continue to believe that she is much older than she claims.

This year, an old graduation photo has sparked new speculation that Meghan Markle is lying about her age.

But is there any truth to these claims?

Recently, a viral social media post featured Meghan Markle's graduation photo, with attention drawn to the year on her tassel.

The photo shows Meghan wearing a graduation cap with the number “95” on it.

Conspiracy theorists argue that this indicates she was 18 years old at the time, making her 45 years old now.

Some believe she deliberately conceals her age to appear closer in age to her husband, Prince Harry, who is 37.

The controversy surrounding Meghan's age even reached Twitter, where senior journalist Richard Eden criticized royal correspondent Omid Scobie.

Eden wished the Duchess of Sussex a happy 41st birthday, while sarcastically referring to Scobie's claim that she is actually 31.

Responding to Eden's tweet, a user humorously commented, “I swear she doesn't look a day over 44.”

These remarks reflect the widespread belief in the United Kingdom that Meghan is significantly older than Prince Harry.

But is it really possible that Meghan Markle is 45 years old?

In theory, it could be feasible, given her financial resources and ability to maintain such a deception.

Adding fuel to the fire, Tom Bauer's book release has once again thrust Meghan's age into the spotlight.

The book reveals that at the age of 11, Meghan had asked Procter & Gamble to change a commercial with sexist undertones.

She was frustrated by a tagline that implied women belonged in the kitchen.

According to the book, Meghan's father encouraged her to join a protest against the company, and she even wrote letters to its chairman and then-First Lady Hillary Clinton, advocating for a more inclusive slogan.

However, eagle-eyed royal fans have pointed out a discrepancy in the timeline.

Hillary Clinton did not become First Lady until 1993, while Meghan would have been 11 years old.

At that time, Clinton was the wife of the governor of Arkansas.

This observation has led some social media users to question Meghan's age, suggesting that it is older than she claims.

One user even suggested using Classmate.com, which scans and uploads high school yearbooks, as a means to confirm her true age.

Last year, social media speculation regarding Meghan Markle's age also arose from court documents.

A tweet, later retweeted by royal biographer Angela Levin, referred to the Duchess as “Princess Pinocchio,” a term popularized by TV presenter Piers Morgan.

The tweet claimed that Meghan had inadvertently revealed her true age in the documents, citing a 13-year age gap between her and her sister Samantha.

This revelation would imply that Meghan is 44 years old.

Another user shared a screenshot of what they claimed to be Meghan's email, suggesting that it substantiated the claim.

While these conspiracy theories continue to circulate, it is important to approach them with skepticism.

Without concrete evidence, it is difficult to determine the truth behind Meghan Markle's age.

Regardless, the ongoing fascination with her age underscores the public's enduring curiosity about the Duchess of Sussex.
