Meghan Markle has once again captured public attention after a discussion about her went viral online. At the heart of this buzz is a side-by-side photo comparison of her taken eight years apart, igniting a renewed debate regarding her appearance and potential plastic surgery.
A trending post on X, which has garnered over 300,000 views, has initiated a lively discussion about Meghan Markle’s looks. The post juxtaposes two images of the Duchess of Sussex from approximately eight years apart, prompting many users to comment on noticeable changes in her hairline, facial features, and overall appearance.
This has led to speculation that Meghan Markle may have had cosmetic enhancements, while some supporters of the former Suits actress argue that various factors could be influencing her looks.
“Nobody looks the same after eight years,” one individual remarked.
“The shape of her jaw has changed. Is this due to surgery?” another user questioned.
A third commenter stated, “The jawline appears different beyond just weight or aging. She used to have a slight underbite. It seems like some correction has been made.”
Meghan Markle’s ‘changing appearance’ has certainly raised eyebrows.
While some suggested that Meghan may have had a procedure, others pointed to the widely discussed weight-loss medication Ozempic.
“Looks like GLP drugs. She seems to be unwell,” one commenter suggested.
Another added, “This is referred to as Ozempic face in the beauty industry, and there’s no cosmetic procedure to fix it, only fat ‘injections’,” which reportedly have a low success rate and are only effective in the short term. It’s better to be curvy and have facial fat than to be skinny and appear older and unwell.”
“Is she on Ozempic? She looks way underweight!” one user remarked.
There was uncertainty about whether Meghan had had a procedure or was using Ozempic. Some users pointed out that she has experienced two pregnancies.
She welcomed her first child, Archie, with Prince Harry in 2019, and their daughter, Lilibet, followed in 2021.
“She has given birth twice, don’t forget?” one supporter commented.
Theories about plastic surgery
Another user remarked, “You’re literally comparing a photo from her pregnancy to a postpartum one. Many women experience hair loss around the edges after having kids. She still looks fantastic, and it’s frustrating for you to search so hard for a flaw in her appearance to feel better about yourself.”
Others suggested that stress might explain the changes in Meghan’s looks. Given the intense media scrutiny, public attention, and the tensions with her family and the royals, stress could be a reason her appearance differs from how it was eight years ago.
While many assert she has had some form of plastic surgery, an expert in 2018 expressed a different opinion. Speaking to Closer Magazine, plastic surgeon Dr. Adam Hamawy stated that Meghan “seems to still have the same nose she was born with.” He further noted that “any variations I’ve observed can easily be attributed to her facial expressions, makeup, or lighting.”
