Meghan Markle’s Latest Jet Exit Sparks Wild Speculation—What’s Going On With Her Ankles?

After facing speculation about plastic surgery, Meghan Markle is now the subject of online comments about her ankles after she was spotted stepping off a private jet.

The Daily Mail recently posted on Instagram about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex spending Valentine’s Day apart. However, what grabbed public attention was a photo of Meghan Markle returning to California from Canada, where she had been with Prince Harry for the Invictus Games.

Meghan wore an oversized purple hoodie, black leggings, and white slip-on shoes. As she walked down the jet’s stairs, her dark hair blew in the wind, partially covering her face.

Her ankles appeared slightly swollen and discolored, sparking conversations and speculation online.

One person on social media asked, “Meghan Markle’s big baggy sweaters and oversized puffer jackets and now her swollen ankles in slip-on shoes. Is she pregnant or something?”

Another questioned, “Is this really Meghan Markle with those severely swollen ankles and feet getting off the plane?” They included a side-by-side comparison of this photo and an older one from when she was pregnant.

Some people doubted whether it was even Meghan in the picture. One commented, “Is that even her? Her hair isn’t that dark, and that ankle doesn’t look right at all.” Others speculated further, with one asking, “Has she broken her ankle or something??”

Another user joined the discussion, writing, “I just asked this. It is weird. Her ankles are usually so thin, and this is the opposite.” Someone else added, “That’s a giant ankle.”

Some also commented on her shoes, with one asking, “Why does it look like she’s wearing giant shoes?” Another wondered, “Why is she covered up from head to toe?” referring to her outfit.

On the other hand, some social media users complimented Meghan. One fan wrote, “Princess Meghan is so adorable ❤️👑.” Another gushed, “We love her!! ❤️❤️❤️.”

According to Daily Mail, Meghan returned to California after spending five days with Prince Harry at the Invictus Games in British Columbia.

Reports suggest that her return was planned in advance. She wanted to be back home with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, after publicly saying how much she missed them.

Even though Meghan and Harry weren’t together on Valentine’s Day, the Duchess posted a sweet message about her husband.

She shared an Instagram Story showing the gifts she brought home for their kids. She also included a caption saying they were all cheering on Prince Harry from home as he finished his time at the Invictus Games.

The Daily Mail also reported that while Meghan was with Prince Harry at the event, he made it clear how much he appreciated her support.

This is not the first time Meghan has faced public scrutiny over her appearance. During the 2025 Invictus Games, people online speculated that she might have had cosmetic procedures done based on photos from the event.

On February 10, Meghan appeared at the games wearing a stylish winter outfit. She wore a white puffer jacket with the letter “M” on the sleeve and a black beanie. Her dark brunette hair was sleek, and her minimal makeup enhanced her natural beauty.

Her lips had a subtle pink gloss, and she was seen sharing a warm moment with Prince Harry, looking at him affectionately. Her bright eyes and radiant complexion caught the attention of fans and critics alike.

Some online users speculated that Meghan had altered her facial features. One person commented, “She has had so much work done on her face! OMG 😱.” Another remarked, “She has ruined her face. Yuck.”

One commenter claimed, “More plastic than flesh, third nose, and third set of teeth.” Others doubted her freckles, with one user saying, “Fake freckles and nose.”

Another critic questioned, “Did she mention her multiple nose jobs?” and included a GIF of a character from Seinfeld repeating the word “fake.”

Comparing Meghan to Prince Harry, one person said, “He’s there with a purpose, and she’s there for a fashion show.” However, others defended her, with one fan writing, “They both look great!” Another admirer said, “Meghan is just beautiful! Love your photos!! ❤️❤️❤️.”

Meghan’s nose has been a topic of discussion since she and Prince Harry started dating. In 2017, a plastic surgeon said Meghan’s nose was one of the most requested procedures among his clients.

The doctor explained that her nose was considered attractive because of its straight shape and refined tip. Another surgeon believed she may have had subtle cosmetic work done to lift the tip of her nose.

Another expert suggested that if Meghan had surgery, it was a minor refinement to narrow and sculpt her nose. However, a different doctor argued that her nose had not changed and that any differences were due to makeup, lighting, or facial expressions.

In a recent video, Meghan spoke about supporting victims of the California wildfires. She mentioned that singer Billie Eilish had sent a special package, including a signed vinyl, after Meghan reached out on behalf of a young girl who had lost her belongings in the fires.

Meghan explained that she didn’t know Billie personally but sent a message hoping to get in touch. The package arrived, and Meghan was grateful for the generous gesture.

She also thanked her friends Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo for helping her connect with Billie.

As the video ended, Meghan expressed appreciation for those helping California wildfire victims, saying, “Thank you so much.”

Meghan and Prince Harry visited the victims of the Eaton Fire in January. The mayor of Pasadena praised them, calling them “great people” with “great hearts.”

He shared that the couple’s first visit was unpublicized, as they had been serving food while wearing masks. He emphasized that they were not seeking attention but genuinely wanted to help.

Meghan and Harry are known for their charitable work and continue to support various causes. They strive to create positive change and advocate for those in need.
