A story about Meghan Markle’s knees has sent the British press into a meltdown
The British press has gone nuts over what may be the most obscure part of Meghan Markle’s body.
The world of British tabloids is a peculiar one.
They’re obsessed with the private lives of the rich and famous, make grand proclamations about immigrants marketed towards your vaguely-racist Uncle Jeff, and their headlines seem to constantly scream at you in a Cockney accent.
But sometimes, things get so weird that you’re left to wonder whether they’re just trolling us for fun.
As we speak, some British newspapers are claiming they can literally see Princess Charlotte’s face indented in Meghan Markle’s … knees.
Yep, knees. You read that correctly.
“Princess Charlotte’s face ‘APPEARS’ in Meghan Markle’s KNEES,” roars the Daily Express headline.
“A closer look at her exposed legs left crowds open-mouthed — and for all the wrong reasons,” the article goes on. “This was because eagle-eyed fans spotted the cherubic face of Princess Charlotte in her knee.
“Equipped with the adorable Charlotte’s signature steely look, the face of the daughter of Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge magically appeared in Meghan’s left knee.”
Who are these eagle-eyed fans? Why were they staring intensely at the Duchess’ kneecaps, rather than her lovely smiling face or pregnant belly?
The British press has gone wild for Meghan Markle’s kneecaps.
Metro, the UK’s highest circulation paper, described the revelation stating: “Her form-fitting £25 H&M dress grabbed the headlines for showing off Meghan’s blossoming bump but now it has been speculated that the Duchess of Sussex was making the ‘ultimate tribute’ to Charlotte as the dress was cut just above the knee.”
The ultimate tribute being to bare her knees — in all their indented alleged Charlottey glory — to the world.
British newspaper The Sun also got in on the action, describing the “bizarre yet uncanny resemblance” between Charlotte’s face and Meghan’s knees — or more specifically, her left kneecap.
“If you look closely at the shots from today’s visit to animal charity Mayhew, the cherub-faced royal’s face appears to be visible on Meghan’s left kneecap,” the article claims.
“Typically the duchess wears dresses and skirts that (are) below the knee, so this knee-prominent outfit today was a rare sight for royal fans.
“Is this the ultimate tribute to her adorable niece? Once you see it, you can’t not see it.”
If you’ve read this far, we’re sorry. But come on. There are so many questions that need to be answered. How did the newspapers even notice this? Why do they appear to be suggesting the natural indentation of Meghan Markle’s legs are somehow a deliberate tribute to her niece?
Did Meghan secretly visit a plastic surgeon and say, “Yes, sculpt the loose skin above my shins just vaguely enough that people will think it’s a tribute to my three-year-old niece”? Is there a dedicated Royal Kneecap Correspondent, creepily zooming in on various parts of the Duchess’ body, searching for any sign of resemblance to another royal?
Painful as it is to post the photo in question, let’s not pretend you’re not curious:
… maybe if you squint REALLY hard.
It’s a scary world out there.
