Meghan Markle is faking her pregnancy!

Well of course she's faking it; everyone knows lizardpeople lay eggs.
 
Having given this two and a half seconds though, which is about two seconds more than it warrants, my considered opinion is:

Who the **** cares?
 
Wouldn't be surprised if there was a racial aspect to this. The racists aren't going to be keen on a mixed race child entering the royal family.
 
There's been a running narrative about this in the comments of the Mail online (Which I only see because I follow the Mail Reporter on Twitter, who parody and/or critique the Mail.

Every story about Meghan (who they are quite obsessed with) is flooded with comments about her faking it, lacking style and class and generally bringing the whole royal family into disrepute. They seem to be particularly opposed to the fact that she 'holds' her bump with one hand, like it's a clear giveaway or something.

It's actually quite entertaining.

We are talking about Prince Harry's wife, right?

I've seen all of these reasons cited as why it's terrible that she married into the royal family.

She's:
1. Mixed race
2. American
3. Divorced
4. An actress
5. Several years older than Harry

Why do they still call her Markle? Surely she took her husband's name when they got married, didn't she?

(And yes, I agree it doesn't matter. The whole royalty thing seems sillier every year, but if their only job is to be fodder for gossip, and trivia questions , I may as well help her earn her keep.)

That's honestly a good question. Her Wikipedia page just lists her as "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (born Rachel Meghan Markle)", with absolutely no mention of her husband's name.

The direct royal family doesn't have last names, I thought. Is that correct?

I was under the impression that they just have titles. I think the last name would be Windsor, but isn't, on account of some reason.

Brits?

Except according to one of the checkstand tabloids, Liz has ordered them exiled to somewhere or other. Oh, and Kate hates her. And she's naming the baby Diana.

Having been previously unaware, until the OP caught my attention, I feel educated enough now on the topic to respond; I think it would be really cool if she named the baby Diana. Male or female. And, it would also be cool to think of her mother-in-law's reaction.


But really, a neighbor is from the UK. She and her elderly sister spend hours discussing and debating over these things.
