Okay, so this morning I was scrolling through Instagram while drinking my coffee, right? And suddenly I see this insane post: “MEGHAN MARKLE FUNERAL LATEST NEWS!” in all caps. My coffee almost went everywhere. What the hell? Did I miss something huge? Last I saw, she was fine doing that Netflix thing.
Started Digging Around Immediately
I grabbed my laptop real quick because phone screens suck for proper research. First thing I did was punch “Meghan Markle funeral” straight into Google News. Zero legit results popped up – no BBC, no CNN, nothing. Just these shady-ass sites with names like “CelebDeathAlert” and “RoyalRumorsDaily”. All of ’em screaming about some secret funeral happening yesterday.
The Rabbit Hole Got Weird
Clicked one of those sketchy links – big mistake. Site looked straight outta 2005 with pop-up ads flashing everywhere. They claimed “insider sources” saw Meghan’s casket being secretly moved at night. Showed some blurry night-vision photos that could’ve been a damn grocery delivery for all I knew. No names, no locations, nothing concrete.
Checked her actual Instagram: normal happy birthday post to Prince Harry from last week. Peeked at BBC Royalty section – nada about deaths or funerals. Even looked up Sussex spokesperson statements through Reuters archive. Absolute silence.
Connecting the Dots (And They Ain’t Connecting)
Realized this garbage probably started from that trashy podcast episode last month where some washed-up comedian “joked” about Meghan faking her death for publicity. These clickbait vultures clearly ran with it and twisted it into “news”.
What really happened? Simple:
- Some idiot made up a stupid rumor
- Fake news sites recycled it for ad revenue
- My dumbass coffee-deprived brain took the bait
My Takeaway After Wasting 45 Minutes
Never trust anything written in all caps from sites ending in “.daily-rumors”. Bookmarked Reuters instead. Went back to my cold coffee feeling like a damn clown. If Meghan dies someday, trust me – you’ll know without hunting shady links. Whole thing smelled like rotten fish wrapped in conspiracy theories. Lesson learned: verify before you panic-search funeral flower arrangements.
