Royal Internet in Uproar Over Viral Claims of a Secret Daughter

June 2025 — The royal rumor mill has kicked into overdrive with explosive claims that Meghan Markle may have had a secret child years before she ever met Prince Harry — and that the Palace may be hiding the truth.

At the center of the wild speculation? A man named Joe Giuliano, alleged by online sleuths to have had a serious relationship with Meghan during her early years — and possibly fathered a daughter who has never been publicly acknowledged.

The Theory That’s Lighting Up Social Media

A series of viral posts have surfaced across X, TikTok, and YouTube, featuring side-by-side photos and cryptic quotes, with some users claiming there is “undeniable resemblance” between Meghan and an unidentified teenage girl they believe to be her secret child.

“There’s no trace of this child in the official narrative,” one influencer posted.
“It’s like she vanished… or was never acknowledged in the first place.”

The conspiracy hinges on unverified reports that Meghan once had a long-term relationship with Giuliano during her early twenties — and that the pair allegedly welcomed a daughter who was “placed out of the public eye.”

Is the Palace Keeping Quiet?

Fueling the fire is the total silence from Buckingham Palace, which has neither confirmed nor denied the claims — a fact that, in the minds of conspiracy theorists, only strengthens suspicions.

Critics argue that if such a child existed, she would have posed a complication to Meghan’s royal entry and likely would have been kept far from the spotlight. Others suggest it’s a cruel smear campaign, rehashing baseless rumors to attack the Duchess’s character.

Who Is Joe Giuliano, Really?

Little is publicly known about Giuliano, and no official records link him to Meghan Markle. Online forums speculate wildly about his past, some claiming he was her “first love”, while others dismiss the story entirely as internet fiction gone rogue.

A few blurry photos and decades-old blog posts are currently being treated by some as “evidence,” though no credible source has verified any part of the claim.
