Netizens Joke About Meghan Markle's Breasts After Nigeria Trip: 'They Come And Go Just Like The Moon Bump'
Meghan Markle's photos from Nigeria brought back rumors that she had breast augmentation.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the African nation over the weekend. In one outing, when Prince Harry and Markle attended an exhibition volleyball match, the former actress stepped out wearing a keyhole sundress with a high leg slit. It featured a bold black-and-tan printed fabric in a palm frond pattern.
One netizen shared a snap of Markle from the said outing on X, formerly Twitter, and pointed out her flat chest. The user also shared another snap of the duchess when she was still a briefcase girl on "Deal or No Deal" rocking a sexy red dress, and her breasts were noticeably fuller in the picture.
"So I'm assuming the implants were removed at some stage," the user captioned the tweet.
The post received several responses from other netizens, with many observing the same. They poked fun at the Duchess of Sussex and that she could inflate or deflate her body parts just like her baby bump when she was pregnant.
"No, they were made of the same material as the moonbump. Sometimes it inflated, sometimes it dropped. Lol," one commented. Another added, "Mystery of the moonbump solved?"
"Of course not. She can, at will, inflate or deflate any part of her chest or abdomen. She has many superpowers unknown to mankind. Didn't you know that?" a third person said.
"They come and go just like the moon bump," another commenter said with a smirking face emoji.
"They (the implants) have decided to step back from royal life, but in the end, they have found a half-in-half-out agreement, so [it] depends on the photos. Now you see them, now you don't. Same arrangement for Harry's wig," another user opined.
However, some netizens defended Prince Harry's wife. According to them, she was "busty" in other photos. Others said Markle didn't have surgery and probably used padded bras in photos where she had bigger boobs.
"[P]hotoshop because if you look at other pictures of wifey in Nigeria she is quite busty," a Sussex supporter said.
"It's a padded bra," another suggested. A third person shared the same sentiment, writing, "Padded bra."
"Not photoshopped as it came from her people. Padded bras are a thing, you know," a different user remarked, suggesting the photo was not altered but Markle was probably not wearing a padding bra in the recent shot.
Dr. Gary Motykie, a board-certified plastic surgeon, shared his professional opinion about Markle's changing appearance over the years on his YouTube channel. He believed that Markle had breast augmentation but had it removed years ago.
"One thing that was in the news with her was breast augmentation; whether you believe she did or not, I think that she probably did," the surgeon said, noting that women's breasts don't get naturally big unless they get a lot of weight.
"We see that she increased her breast size most likely due to breast augmentation, and then interesting with her, and it's in someone in general, she decided to take them out probably because then we see that they shrunk back down again. And again, unless you're doing, you know, lifts and different things or huge changes in weight, which she didn't, she's probably had the implants removed."
The mention of a baby bump on social media was due to past rumors that the duchess had faked her pregnancies. Several netizens claimed that the size of her baby bump changed in various outings, prompting some to speculate that she was using a moon bump.
