Meghan Markle’s Pregnancy: Rumours of Surrogacy and Lack of Support Resurface
In the wake of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix docuseries and Harry's memoir Spare, an outlandish rumour that has been circulating for years has once again emerged.
This rumour claims that Markle used a surrogate to deliver her children with Harry, and in some instances, it even suggests that their kids are non-existent.
Recently, a nurse practitioner on Reddit has come forward with alleged evidence supporting the surrogacy theory.
The Redditor, who is based in Los Angeles and works as a nurse practitioner in the United States, believes that Meghan used a surrogate during her pregnancy with Archie.
They point out that there was no mention of any medical treatment related to her pregnancy in interviews, articles, or books.
In the US, pregnant patients are routinely screened for depression using the PHQ-9 questionnaire, and it is believed that a similar practice is followed in the UK, using the NICE guidelines for mood disorders.
According to the nurse practitioner, Meghan did not undergo psychological screening by an obstetrician during her pregnancy.
Instead, she sought help from HR, which raised questions about her mental health support.
The nurse practitioner highlights the seriousness of mood disorders during the perinatal period and emphasizes the need for prompt treatment.
In cases of severe depression and suicidal thoughts, patients are usually placed under psychiatric care.
During the Oprah interview, Meghan mentioned seeking help from HR rather than an obstetrician or psychiatrist.
This led the nurse practitioner to speculate that if Archie was indeed a surrogate, Meghan may not have had regular visits to an obstetrician for a comprehensive treatment plan.
Additionally, she might have felt compelled to turn to HR for assistance, as discussing surrogacy with them could have been complicated.
Opinions on Meghan Markle vary among the public.
While some distrust her motives, believing she aims to attract attention and undermine the monarchy, others offer their support, particularly those who draw parallels between her and the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
In response to the nurse practitioner's post, one commenter suggested that Meghan may have approached HR due to complaints about her alleged bullying behavior, portraying herself as the real victim.
They argue that if she simply wanted therapy or psychiatric help, she could have sought it privately without making it public knowledge.
Another commenter concurred, adding that during the Oprah interview, Meghan hinted at wanting to go somewhere for treatment, potentially referring to inpatient care at a mental health facility.
There are rumors that she may have even considered a holistic rehab center on a tropical island owned by a friend, which some speculate could have been an additional advertising opportunity.
While these theories are speculative, they contribute to the ongoing discussions surrounding Meghan Markle's pregnancy, her mental health struggles, and the support she received during that period.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how these rumors and allegations will impact public perception of the Duchess of Sussex and the British monarchy.
