Mumsnet Users React To Meghan Markle’s ‘Fake Bump’: See What Moms Think

Some mothers have shared their thoughts about Meghan Markle’s rumored "fake" baby bump.

The Duchess of Sussex has been attacked by trolls due to her habitual action of touching her baby bump in public. Some also accused her of faking her pregnancy and using a moonbump. Recently, one mom seemed to have had enough of all the criticism and shared her opinion on Mumsnet.

According to Carly Read, a journalist for Express, one mom was furious after reading a Daily Mail article about Markle holding her baby bump and seeing that it had thousands of comments talking about the duchess staging her baby bump. The netizen felt that 99 percent of them were slagging Markle off as many appeared to be very sure that the duchess is using a fake baby bump and that she was holding it so it doesn’t fall.

The netizen said that it was “pathetic and scary” that there are actually people who believed in these reports. Other moms on the website praised the original poster’s remarks and also shared their thoughts about the issue.

A different Mumsnet user recalled how Middleton’s pregnancies were also claimed to be fake at one point or another. Another user said that it’s odd for Markle to fake her pregnancy, adding that if she indeed got a fake baby bump, the duchess would surely get one that won’t fall and one she won’t need to hold as money is not an issue for her.

Meanwhile, another user said that people are enjoying the fake pregnancy news involving Markle because they love a good conspiracy theory. A different user shared her opinion and said that she’s definitely sure Markle’s pregnancy is not fake. However, she thinks that Prince Harry’s wife is over six months along in her pregnancy or the couple is expecting more than one baby.

Netizens have different opinions about Markle’s baby bump. One person said earlier this month that Markle is faking her pregnancy because in one photo, her bump appeared to be square in shape. The said netizen insisted that Markle has a surrogate and is using a moonbump. She added that she has three children and her bump was never shaped like that of Markle’s.

Another person shared snaps of Markle where her baby bump appeared to be in different sizes. In one snap, her tummy seemed to be flat, while in another photo she looked heavily pregnant. The said user described it as Markle’s “magic baby bump.”
