How Old Is Meghan Markle… Really?

By: Brendi Wells

I’m taking a little break from my usual deep-dive Biblical studies to share something different with you today. As you know from my last two articles, I’ve been keeping an eye on the British Royal Family, not for gossip, but because I’m watching for any prophetic signs that might show up in the middle of all the pomp and ceremony.

Now, over the last few months, whenever I open YouTube, Facebook or Instagram it’s like clockwork — there’s this constant stream of videos about Meghan Markle. All negative. One after the other, as if the algorithm has decided I need a steady diet of royal “Let’s hate on Meghan Markle” drama. So, there I am, sipping my coffee and wondering, “Why am I being fed all this Meghan negativity? Is this just a smear campaign, or is there actually something to it?”

Naturally, my curiosity got the better of me. I started digging — not to join the noise, but to see if there was even one solid fact in all that chatter. And honestly, most of what I found was speculation, recycled opinions, and the usual internet gossip. But then… oh my word… I came across something that made me do a double take and read it twice.

It was an actual court document — an email Meghan wrote herself to her then-aide, Jason Knauf. In it, she says her half-siblings “were 15 and 17 years old” before she was born. Her half-sister Samantha Markle was born in November 1964. If Samantha was 15 before Meghan came along, that would put Meghan’s birth year closer to 1977, not the official 1981.

This comes straight from Meghan’s own email in an undisputed court record, not from some shadowy corner of the internet. And to add to that, her father, Thomas Markle, has hinted more than once that people should question her age — though he’s never outright said a different year.

I’m not here to say what’s true or false. But in months of hearing every possible allegation under the sun about Meghan, this is the only piece of verifiable evidence I’ve found that genuinely raises a question. Well… that, and the fact that nobody’s ever actually seen a proper picture of little Lilibet’s face — except for that one photo on her first birthday. Meanwhile, the internet is drowning in AI-generated versions of her. And you know what else I stumbled on? I also found this YouTube video where several of her former classmates are in their 50s, which makes me wonder — if Meghan truly was born in 1981, was she a child genius who skipped several grades? Just throwing it out there… you be the judge.

Enjoy the ride, folks. Every day brings more questions than answers, it seems. The only truth we can hold on to is Jesus. Lots of love,
