Prince Harry has been spotted surfing with his son Archie in a photo leak on Instagram while rumors of surrogacy still circulate. The two are seen at a surf school with professional surfer Raimana Van Bastolaer in California. However, the image was “was later deleted at the Royal’s request,” according to Radar Online. Whether this was for privacy reasons or not, it’s poor timing considering how many believe the Duke’s son to be “fake.”
“Those children don’t exist,” claims a top commenter remarking on Archie’s surfing trip with Prince Harry. “If they did, Meghan would be pimping them out to make money. They would have all kinds of deals. Any photos of the Sussex ‘children’ are of borrowed children or AI photos. And when they supposedly get older. The excuse will be that they chose to lead private lives. Can’t wait for Harry and Meghan to be exposed.”
While such a presumption is rather rash, it’s not entirely out of the question, seeing howย Meghan Markle absolutely “loves media attention.“ย Using her children to amass more clout and aย biggerย following would be a strategic move on her part since the Duchess does want toย be seenย as the ideal A-lister mother. Such is evident from her business decisions last year promoting American Riviera Orchard, including her plans for her upcoming Netflix series.ย
Another follower chimes in, remarking how Archie’s hair appears different in various photos: “What color hair does this kid have? I have seen pictures, and the hair is always different. Sometimes curly or straight or brown or strawberry blonde or red. I am beginning to think there are no kids.”
Fortunately, followers of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex can still find the removed image of Archie on a jetski with his dad and surfer instructor Raimana circulating Reddit. While privacy concerns are understandable, it’s difficult to recognize what the issue is with the image when Prince Harry’s son’s face is so well-covered by the steering handles.
One user reacting to the post makes a good point about the irrational reasoning behind the photo’s removal request: “How can they bleat on about their kids privacy when their Netflix documentary showed Archie in the bath?” The top comment of the post is quite comically sarcastic: “This is getting ridiculous. That kid is being treated like Wilson on Tool Time with all the idiotic schemes to keep his face covered.”
As mentioned earlier, doubt of Archie’s existence as Prince Harry’s real son and this whole surfing photo leak came about at the same time as rumors of surrogacy with the Sussexes’ children began circulating. “This scandal comes as no surprise,” a royal source states to Radar Online. “Speculation about the children has been simmering for years. There are so many questions swirling around them.“
Even Meghan’s estranged father, Thomas Markle, has been allegedly doubting the legitimacy of the birth of Archie. Claims that the Duchess picked up frozen eggs nine monthsย prior toย the so-called delivery. Regardless of the truth, the secrecy surrounding this surrogacy scandal has got fans and followers stirred up and confused about what’s real.ย There were also allegations thatย AI was usedย to edit a 2024 holiday greetings card by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on social media.
Time after time again, the Sussexes can’t seem to catch a break with distrust among those following them. At the very least, they areย one ofย the first celebritiesย being talkedย about right after New Year’s.
