Meghan's giant kid: This baby is not 8 weeks old

Supposedly Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born on May 6, 2019.

Maybe someone was born on that day, but it's not this kid that Meghan is toting around today at a polo match, just 8 weeks later.

This kid is least 4 months old, and possibly as old as 6 months.

More photos here in The Sun, including some awkward-looking ones where Meghan tries to kiss the baby.

She looks like a newly-hired babysitter or a single, happily child-free aunt meeting the kid for the first time. Zero parental connection.

Born in January?

Anyway, it all lends more credence to the theory that not only was Archie born via surrogate, but that he was born in January, not May.

That would suggest, of course, a massive lie by the British Royal Family. The birth announcement! On the easel! And the Christening! And the photos!

But more sadly, it suggests that after 6 months his 'mom' has not bonded with him. That's really concerning.

It's just gossip for us, but for this kid, it's one of the most important times of his life. I hope he has some kind of adult figure caring for him and making him a priority. Every child deserves that.

EDIT:

Looks like the Daily Mail has noticed the age discrepancy too. They're just begging their commenters to point it out.

I have also noticed Rut is very rude at times - I would just ignore - probably never had a baby in the first place. My nephew was like your baby - my arm was aching feeding him - he screamed in between mouthfuls for more while my son never wanted to eat. But if Meghan was there for hours Archie would need a feeding & a changing & a hat would have been great too.

WOW!!! Thank you MrsBrooks mum :) I don't buy Nivea products cause I don't like them and I've never used them at all. Another reason for me to stay from it.

This is true! Your arms get tired & you usually have a few tried and true comfort positions. All babies are different and some like cradling, some like perched on the shoulder, some like the “football hold”. NONE like this position she’s using. Also he’s not squirming at all, yet he doesn’t look asleep. I swear I cannot believe the BRF would try and pass off a doll as a real baby, but this is just getting weirder and weirder.

@Elle, Reine des Abeilles Ha! Yes we sound like we have similar approaches to babies! Even in my unpracticed state, I would hold the baby higher, as it's instinctual to have it closer no? And the sweet smell of their heads - I have to refrain from licking their heads!

The press are irritating - I'm hating seeing the 'besotted & devoted' stuff too. I guess they have to play it carefully, otherwise access to the royals will be denied if they go too far. They also get tons more clicks and comments on MM related articles, so the 'D&D' stuff might be to get on our rags and incite us to comment. Might that be more appealing to advertisers? Meaning more money for the DM?

I personally can't wait until they spill their guts good and proper. I want to pick up the paper one Sunday and see surrogates, yachting, the missing 1st husband, drugs, the real set up with MA, the pathological Diana obsession, the merching, clothing expenditure accounts. I want it all! Did I miss anything?

I have noted that there are news articles about how Megs is being "trolled" and bullied over how she is holding the baby. So her PR team are clearly working overtime to turn the sympathy back to her - watch out for a hastily released sympathy getting story or announcement.
Ozmanda said…
Nutty I agree about Harry - I have been taking special note to how he is in the photos or what they say - I haven't seen any evidence of him even holding the baby except for the initial press conference, I don't see him as having any clue what to do with a child.
Ozmanda said…
MXJ - I think we would need a bottle or two ;) I really love seeing the interaction between Kate and her kids at the polo - it was such a stark contrast to the Sussex debacle. They looked like a family and that warmed my cold dead heart just a bit:)
Ozmanda said…
Has anyone seen Archie move a single time during that media appearance? Is it normal for babies of that age to be so still?
Hikari said…
It doesn't matter how many PR minions she pays, or how many sobbing puff pieces she buys . . . there will be no turning back any sympathy to her. She's squandered the goodwill of the world and the only thing coming her way are metaphorical pitchforks.

Seriously, though, her appearance at the polo is the sight of a narc unraveling. She's no longer even making the barest effort to put herself together for public view. That 'dress' . . I just can't. She really likes that color, and it might have been suitable for the day if it had been fitted, belted, with a pair of cute sandals. She looks like she threw on a rain poncho to take the trash out. And then the lurking by the parked cars, refusing to sit, to engage with Kate or the kids. It had to be a doll she was holding so badly, otherwise she would have showed his face or had him in a pram . . . Where's that super-expensive mod-Yuppie baby stroller they 'received' in January? This outing could have gone a ways toward repairing the 'catfight' rumors, if she could have sat with Kate's family and smiled like a normal person . . and let people get a glimpse of Master Archie.

This woman is dangling by a last thread and it's going to snap any time. Rumor has it (again) that Meg showed up unannounced to the polo (again--gatecrashing is her MO because she refuses to accept that she's not wanted anywhere), giving her hubby a nasty surprise since (again rumor) his ex Chelsy was in the crowd.

Divorce announcement or pregnancy announcement by Labor Day? Shall we start a pool?

Well from reading and re-reading Rut's response, I think their comments were misinterpreted. Some babies are easy; some aren't. A friend lives above a very noisy coffee shop (no soundproofing) and her baby sleeps quite happily throughout it all. We don't know how long Meghan was at the polo for (do we?) ... so it's quite feasible he didn't need anything during that time.

I hope Rut returns - challenge the argument, not the poster ...

@elle...you're a hoot....I'd do more than draw mustaches on Megamoo's tabloid shots. 😂

Ditto. I was on my good behavior when I wrote that lol. Kate and I would get sloshed and have some real fun. Maybe even use glue and cutouts from other magazines. Oh, I think it could be fun. I'm working on my recipe for Contemptinis now....
Rut said…
Elle; For how long did you see her walk around with the baby? The photos of Meghan and the baby are the same in every paper. For me it looked as if she was walking around with him for only a little while? Where can you see Meghan walked around with the baby in the sun whitout giving him milk or water for hours? Of course you all can belive what you want but I wonder.... when Archie is old enough to walk are you then going to say he is a robot?

@Rut, I've been quite clear, but let me state again: I am not certain what is going on here. I will consider this from any perspective I choose. I will not argue with you. And from here on, I will just whiz past your comments without response and you can feel free to do the same for mine. I'm not here to be minimized or confronted. I get an opinion. So do you.

Well, @Summer, I'm not so sure. I've let Rut know that I won't be responding to her posts anymore even when she seeks me out directly (as has happened yet again). I believe that we can engage with each other, even when we disagree, but it needs to be done respectfully, not aggressively, and almost everyone on this blog has done that, and it's a reason I actually post here when normally, I would not. But when I have to consistently put forth the energy to interpret someone's posts to determine if they meant to be a jerk or not, then I prefer to just disengage entirely. That said, I respect your thoughts and efforts at presenting another perspective.

Elle your sister has great taste. Charlotte has such a big personality I can't help but love that child. She's adventurous, intelligent, and fearless. I'm remembering her cheekily telling off the photographers that they aren't allowed to go to Louie's christening. Where George is more introspective Charlotte is bold. That child is going to be a handful and I love it.

Oh goodness, it's taken until this morning for the "flying monkeys" to sink in. Duh, sometimes my uptake is slow. Oh that's perfect! I can just see MM yelling "release the monkeys, fly, fly, fly! Good heavens Elle I like your style!

she is pushing her pelvis forward like in australia so it might add to her looking like she is pregnant

I heard that MM wasn't supposed to be at the polo match. Her arrival was unexpected but she learned that Chelsy Davy was in town. Wouldn't that make Archie a prop to remind Harry he's now a family man? It certainly explains her mess of an appearance.

I wish I could take credit for that term, @Ann, but it's really what they're called. Someone else beat me to it. But it's the idea, exactly. https://pro.psychcentral.com/recovery-expert/2016/07/the-narcissists-flying-monkeys/

Just a note to say that I find it hilarious that the Ultimate Mean Girl, who looks at Catherine all the time like C. is a bunny she'd like to boil takes refuge so often in crying 'bullying!'

I doubt Smeaghan has ever legit cried over anything since she was a child. She makes *other* people cry and she delights in doing it. Malignant narcissist and a sadist. All the way. I wonder if Hazza is a secretly abused man? We know he is emotionally, but I wonder if she hurts him physically, too? Her rages are legendary. Melissa Toubti, if you are out there reading this, we'd love to hear the truth about that spilled tea incident . . .

Why gang up on "rut"? Questioning if she belongs? I have loved this blog, but had no idea it is a closed club that one must prove worthy to participate in. An honest opinion,stated politely, should not terrify or annoy the forum. That is what disgusts me on other blogs and channels...the venom. And I have admired this blog convo because it is lively but civilized. Just answer "rut". Don't ask her if she is here by mistake. That is snotty girl rude.

Well, Ann, I just want to be clear: I wasn't "ganging up" on Rut, but when someone tells me what I can and cannot believe and confronts me on a blog, FHS, then I'm not going to argue, explain, or continue to respond. I think maybe it's worth considering that all of us are not just being rude to Rut - maybe Rut is just not expressing herself in respectful, non-confrontational tones? I can't speak for others, but I will respond to an honest opinion stated politely. The problem was, hers weren't IMO. I tend to just skip over things I don't like, and I will continue to do that. I think that is perhaps the best way to have good behavior in blog participation.
Ann Christensen said…
OK! Thank you for answering me. And point well taken. Still loving this blog, and appreciate you answering my question.

I love it, too, and that's why I wanted to respond. There's been very little acrimony, and what I've seen wasn't a gang of mean girls responding - it was in response to taunt/goading/whatever you want to call it, and none of us like that here. Almost all of our fellow nutties are the good kind of nuts :)

Oz,
I've been looking at what squashed side views of "Archie's face were available from the polo outing. 'The child' she's holding does not look like the baby in the formal christening photo, but based on the eyelids, it is the same 'baby' from the presentation picture, where he was all swaddled.

I have to use quotes around 'the baby' because even at this late date, I can't be sure. We have never actually seen footage of this child moving. The infant used in the christening photos was real, but I also believe that was two months ago that they were taken.

The resemblance to the first picture of Archie would lend credence to him being the same, real, albeit preternaturally still baby on both occasions. Or, equally, that it was the same Darren reborn doll used on both occasions. Either they've got the same doll in graduated sizes (newborn, 2, 4, 6, 12 mos,) . . or Harry was holding 'him' and he was swaddled tightly so he would appear smaller than he was. Hazza is much bigger-framed than Meghan, so a 2 mo old might appear a newborn relative to Harry. Megs could barely hold the armful she had the other day. I see infants several times a week of all ages in the course of my job . . the child at the polo was not 8 weeks. Closer to 6 months. 4, 5 months, at least. I'm not a professional doctor, just around a lot of kids all day long. Saw an 8-week old baby in with his mother just a couple of days ago and I asked the age. An 8 week old is still a little peanut, especially if 'Archie' was born 2 months ago at 7.3 pounds . . he would not be over 10 pounds now, probably somewhat less, as they lose weight after birth. Megs looked like she was handling a 16 pound bowling ball. What got to me was the way the legs dangled limply in every shot, with the feet at 90 degree angles. A real baby squirms; he'd move his legs and feet so that they wouldn't appear static across one or two dozen different photos and angles.

If that had been a real baby, she'd have brought the pram and been showing him off to Kate and the Cambridge children. She didn't, so I'm thinking . . he wasn't.

There may be a real Archie, but I hope he's not with this woman.
I don't know what their game is, the whole family's in fact, but it's sick. I don't understand why admitted that he was a surrogate's baby would be so bad. The only thing I can think of is that the baby is, and will remain with his natural mother, who is keeping custody of him. She may have initially agreed to act as surrogate for the Sussex couple until it became clear to her the extent of Megs' mental and moral depravity. Any woman who does this wants to help someone become a mother, but no one thinks Farkle is mother material. Haz might be the paternal donor, though, which is why they are going to such lengths to maintain the charade. A child who is not tied to either of them by genetics would not rate this level of cloak and dagger BS.

If she cannot hold him right, one doesn't she get a sooth shirt where you carry the baby against you? Those are great and your hands are free.
Hikari said…
I mentioned this on the most current thread (Mexit) . . but slipping it here too as is theme-appropriate. In the last week or so, I have seen two babies who were both 2 months old. I confirmed the age with their moms. Both were less than half the size as 'Polo Archie' . . which I use to distinguish him from the photos of the verifiably real baby they displayed at the christening . . who by the way seemed to be *at least* 4 months old, not 2. An 8 week old infant is still very small. Comparing Polo Archie with other babies, I'd say he looks to be around 8-9 months. I guess they must make reborns in that size.

This was my thought too. It's so odd that she looks more pregnant now than she ever did while "pregnant". Maybe she's actually pregnant this time, but good luck explaining the timeline.

I was a Markle defender... but I just can't square away how she looks more pregnant now than she ever did while "pregnant". I don't know - something seems off.

Is This the REAL THING THIS TIME? or is this just stringing people along?

Recently there was (yet another) post somewhere out in the world about how they will soon divorce.  And my first thought was: Haven't I heard this before?  which moved quickly to: how many times have I heard this (through the years)? There were a number of questions raised which ... I don't know.  I'm not a lawyer.  One of the points which has been raised is that KC would somehow be shelling out beaucoup money to get her to go "away".  That he has all this money stashed away and can pull it out at a moment's notice.  But does he? He inherited a lot of "stuff" from his mother but ... isn't it a lot of tangible stuff like properties? and with that staff to maintain it and insurance.  Inside said properties is art, antique furniture and other "old stuff" which may be valuable" but ... that kind of thing is subject to the whims and bank accounts of the rarified people who may be interested in it (which is not most of us in terms of bei

A Quiet Interlude

 Not much appears to be going on. Living Legends came and went without fanfare ... what's the next event?   Super Bowl - Sunday February 11th?  Oscar's - March 10th?   In the mean time, some things are still rolling along in various starts and stops like Samantha's law suit. Or tax season is about to begin in the US.  The IRS just never goes away.  Nor do bills (utility, cable, mortgage, food, cars, security, landscape people, cleaning people, koi person and so on).  There's always another one.  Elsewhere others just continue to glide forward without a real hint of being disrupted by some news out of California.   That would be the new King and Queen or the Prince/Princess of Wales.   Yes there are health risks which seemed to come out of nowhere.  But.  The difference is that these people are calmly living their lives with minimal drama.  

Christmas is Coming

 The recent post which does mention that the information is speculative and the response got me thinking. It was the one about having them be present at Christmas but must produce the kids. Interesting thought, isn't it? Would they show?  What would we see?  Would there now be photos from the rota?   We often hear of just some rando meeting of rando strangers.  It's odd, isn't it that random strangers just happen to recognize her/them and they have a whole conversation.  Most recently it was from some stranger who raved in some video (link not supplied in the article) that they met and talked and listened to HW talk about her daughter.  There was the requisite comment about HW of how she is/was so kind).  If people are kind, does the world need strangers to tell us (are we that kind of stupid?) or can we come to that conclusion by seeing their kindness in action?  Service. They seem to always be talking about their kids, parenthood and yet, they never seem to have the kids
