Samantha Markle has revived a long‑running conspiracy theory about Meghan Markle’s “real age,” but credible records do not support her claims.
What Samantha is alleging
In recent videos and social posts, Samantha suggests Meghan is several years older than 44, hinting she was really born around 1975–76 and is “pushing 50,” not 44 in 2025. She points to fuzzy “timeline” memories, old yearbook or event captions, and comments from acquaintances to argue Meghan’s official birth year of 1981 is a lie. These claims recycle earlier online rumors that Samantha and others amplified.
What official records show
Fact‑checks using the California Birth Index and UK corporate filings all list Rachel Meghan Markle’s birth date as 4 August 1981, matching what Meghan and the Palace have always stated. Newsweek’s review of Samantha’s own past court and book filings found they actually support a 17‑year age gap, consistent with Meghan being born in 1981, not the mid‑1970s. In other words, the documentary evidence backs Meghan’s stated age, not Samantha’s revised story.
How to interpret the “truth”
Samantha’s “truth” is her version of family history, but it is not backed by vital records or independent verification; major outlets treat it as conspiracy‑style gossip rather than fact. So far, no birth certificate, legal document, or reputable investigation has shown that Meghan lied about her age, and available official data all align on 1981.
