Rumors Swirl Over Alleged Meghan, Duchess of Sussex Birth Certificate Leak

Rumors Swirl Over Alleged Meghan, Duchess of Sussex Birth Certificate Leak
Unverified rumors are circulating online claiming that a birth certificate for Meghan Markle has been leaked, sparking controversy and discussion across social media.
Rumors about the leaked birth certificate of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, actually revolve around controversies surrounding changes to her son Prince Archie’s birth certificate, as well as unverified allegations about the legitimacy of her children.
Here are the key points related to these rumors as of February 2026:
1. Change of Name on Prince Archie’s Birth Certificate
In 2021, media outlets discovered that Prince Archie’s birth certificate (born May 2019) had been amended a month later:
Information removed: Meghan’s birth name, “Rachel Meghan,” was removed.
Information replaced: The mother’s name section now reads “Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.”
Meghan’s response: Her spokesperson confirmed that the change was directed by Buckingham Palace, not at the request of her and her husband.
2. Rumors about pregnancy and surrogacy
Recently, conspiracy theories and unverified rumors have resurfaced, particularly from social media platforms and estranged members of Meghan’s family:
Surrogate pregnancy allegations: There are unfounded speculations that Meghan may have used a surrogate for Archie and Lilibet.
Demands for proof: Some unofficial sources claim the Palace is facing pressure to provide “absolute proof” of the birth to protect the legitimacy of the royal bloodline. However, no official leaked documents confirm these allegations are true.
3. Controversy over names and personal identities
Age falsification allegations: Samantha Markle (Meghan’s half-sister) has presented documents alleging Meghan is older than her publicly stated birth date of August 4, 1981, but Meghan’s side has never officially confirmed or responded to this.
Use of titles: On the birth certificate of their daughter Lilibet (born in the US in 2021), Prince Harry still uses the title “HRH” despite having left royal duties, while Meghan is listed as “Rachel Markle” instead of the title used for Archie.
Note: Much of the current “leaked” information comes primarily from tabloid sources or social media and often lacks verifiable legal evidence. Authorities and Buckingham Palace have not issued any official announcements regarding a new “leak” in 2026.
