Rumors and speculation around Meghan Markle's true age have resurfaced, fueled by claims from some of her former classmates suggesting that she might be older than the publicly stated 44 years. Reports highlight that Meghan’s official birth date is August 4, 1981, but some classmates, now in their late 50s, challenge timelines that don’t seem to align with hers.

Analysts point out an unusual pattern: many of Meghan’s college peers from Northwestern University appear to be around a decade older, with some born in the early 1970s, contradicting the narrative of Meghan’s youthful graduation in 1999. Archived yearbook photos show Meghan among classmates who later graduated high school in the late 1980s, years before her official graduation date.
Further deep-dive investigations note leaked records and alumni lists suggesting Meghan might have been born earlier, around 1975 to 1977, which would put her in her early 50s, not mid-40s. This discrepancy has caused questions about why Meghan might want to obscure her true age, especially in the entertainment and royal spotlight where youth can sometimes be overemphasized.
Meghan's half-sister Samantha Markle has also contributed to the controversy by stating publicly that Meghan might be older than she admits, accusing her of building a carefully curated image that masks some parts of her past. Legal disputes and family tensions have amplified the rumors, leading to heightened media scrutiny.
Critics argue that these age discrepancies are part of a broader pattern of managing and shaping Meghan's public narrative, while supporters dismiss the claims as conspiracy theories fueled by grudges and jealousy.
Official documents like birth certificates and school records continue to support the 1981 birth year, but the ongoing debate leaves many questioning the official story and pondering why there might be motives for age concealment.
