Meghan Markletook to social media to celebrate her firstborn's milestone birthday, asArchie turned 7on Wednesday, 6 May. The Duchess of Sussex shared a throwback photo of Archie as a baby, cradled by Prince Harry, alongside a more recent image showing him with his younger sister, Lilibet.
In the second snap, the siblings stand on the shore with their backs to the camera. However,social media userswere quickly confused, claiming Archie appeared to have 'three arms', which prompted a wave of speculation that the photo had been edited.
Meghan Markle recently shared a heartfelt birthday tribute to her son, Archie, on Instagram. One of the images features the birthday boy with his sister, Lilibet. The shot is intended to showcase the duo's tight bond. However, the image quickly became the subject of intense speculation, with netizens claiming it was either photoshopped or generated by AI.
The primary cause for concern amongst observers was the appearance of Archie's limbs, with many suggesting the young prince seemed to have three arms. In the image, Lilibet is seen holding what appears to be Archie's left arm. However, Archie's left arm is also bent in a different position, making it impossible to hold hands with his younger sibling.
This visual inconsistency led to a flurry of critical comments across various platforms. Several said the images were either fake, edited, or AI-generated, with one saying it was a 'Photoshop failure'.
'It [an] Al photo if you looked right in Archie has three arms,' one commented. Another remarked, 'Filtered & Photoshopped. The boy has three arms.'
Another user said it was 'laughable and ridiculous' to suggest the two kids are close. 'Why not just say she Photoshopped the kids together,' @Lidias419181wrote.
However, some also defended Markle. OnesaidLilibet was not holding hands with her brother; she was actually holding a bag.
