A wild theory that Meghan Markle was wearing a ‘recording device’ underneath her dress has been shut down.
A source close to Meghan told Page Six: ‘This is insane and actually damaging to her. Of course she was not wearing a mic.’
The Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry had joined the Prince and Princess of Wales at Windsor Castle to greet mourners paying their respects to the Queen on Saturday when the crazy theory erupted.
But a rectangular crease seen on the waist of Meghan’s black dress had many critics guessing if she was wearing a microphone.
‘What is Meghan hiding under her dress?’ one person tweeted.
‘The waist outline sure looks like a mic pack,’ said another.

Others guessed if she was recording the moment for her upcoming Netflix documentary.
‘Is Meghan markle wearing a mic to use the Queen’s death for her Netflix reality show?’ one tweeted.
‘Meghan was wearing some sort of device that you could see the square outline of during the walkabout. Likely for recording purposes,’ another said.
Others also disputed the ‘insane’ claims, suggesting it may have been a medical device instead.

‘I wear a Continuous Glucose Monitor and my sensor is the same rectangle shape,’ one said.
Others said it could be a belt fitted underneath the dress, or simply how the dress creased when moved in certain positions.
‘It’s just creases in the dress, nothing else,’ one wrote.
‘Maybe she wears her belt on the inside and that’s the buckle. I often wear my belt on the inside with the buckle off-centre. I’m sure many people do,’ another added.
Another said it may have been a ‘pager’ to communicate with her staff.
Meghan had received a generally warm welcome outside Windsor Castle
‘It’s literally a crease in her dress,’ another commented.
‘You people are pathetic,’ one said to those who believed she was wearing a recording device.
Meghan had received a generally warm reaction from the crowd as she made her way down the line of adoring fans outside Windsor Castle, shaking hands and chatting with the hoards of people lined up to get a glimpse of the royals.
The walkabout was the first time that Prince Harry and Meghan were seen publicly alongside Prince William and Kate since March 2020, and has marked an apparent thawing between the brothers and their wives.
