As if there wasn’t enough drama surrounding the death of Queen Elizabeth II, social media is now awash with speculation that Meghan Markle was secretly wearing a microphone under her clothing at Her Majesty’s memorial.

On Saturday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle joined Prince William and Kate Middleton for a walkaround at Windsor Castle following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, but rather than focusing on the sombre occasion, many Twitter users took the opportunity to spread a particularly wild conspiracy theory about the Duchess of Sussex.
According to some Twitter users, a square-shaped crease in the former Suits star’s dress has raised suspicions that Meghan was wearing a recording device, possibly to use for content for her upcoming Netflix project.
“The attention-chaser that wants to take a ‘break from the public’ – recording stuff for the Netflix documentary,” one Twitter user wrote.
Another added, “I can’t believe she is recording this. She is just a vile and toxic woman. I hope King Charles has told Harry she is not to come to the funeral.”
Others, however, came to the defence of Meghan, with one fan hitting back, “Just creases in the dress, nothing else.”
“Maybe she wears her belt on the inside and that’s the buckle. I often wear my belt on the inside with the buckle off-centre. I’m sure many people do,” another added.
Meanwhile, a source has shut down the “insane” theory in a statement to Page Six, that read: “This is insane and actually damaging to her. Of course she was not wearing a mic.”
It’s set to add more stress to the former royals, who have been bombarded with negative press since their arrival in the UK.
As the news broke of the Queen’s death in Balmoral, Harry and Meghan paid tribute by taking to their Archewell website and clearing it of all content, leaving only a black home screen with a single message written in white.
“In loving memory of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 1926-2022,” it read.
Harry also gave a touching tribute to his beloved Granny in a public statement.
“In celebrating the life of my grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen — and in mourning her loss — we are all reminded of the guiding compass she was to so many in her commitment to service and duty,” he wrote.
