On Wednesday, June 4, Meghan Markle marked her daughter Lilibet’s fourth birthday with a heartfelt tribute on social media.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, shared never-before-seen photos, including a touching black-and-white image of her cradling Lilibet on a boat. But as often happens whenever Meghan posts online, the gesture quickly attracted a wave of conspiracy theories and online criticism.

Since rejoining social media on January 1 after a four-year hiatus, Meghan has offered glimpses into her life with Prince Harry and their children. While the posts portray a happy, peaceful family life, they’ve also ignited relentless scrutiny from critics who comb through every detail, often with bizarre and unfounded accusations. As a result, Meghan has turned off comments on her Instagram account.

Among the more outlandish claims: some users have questioned whether her children are even real, pointing to supposed inconsistencies in their hair color, or alleging she digitally altered images—such as the time trolls said she “photoshopped Archie’s toes.”

The latest birthday post was no exception. Some online users fixated on perceived “editing” in the black-and-white photo. One X (formerly Twitter) user wrote, “Black and white photos as this time could not get a girl with ginger hair,” suggesting the image was manipulated to hide Lilibet’s natural coloring.

Another posted, “Which version of Lilibet is this? This version has fine, straight, blonde hair. And look who is dominating the photo…”
