While the full interview content remains under wraps, a leaked clip has gone viral, showcasing a particularly emotional outburst from Meghan Markle. In the clip, Lauer can be heard asking a pointed question, though the exact wording is unclear. Markle's response, however, is loud and clear. Through tear-filled eyes, she exclaims, "It's not fair, you can't just keep doing this," before storming off camera, leaving Lauer visibly stunned.
The cryptic exchange has fueled a firestorm of speculation. Royal commentators are scrambling to decipher the question and the reason behind Meghan's distress. Theories range from a line of questioning about her fractured relationship with the royal family to a more personal and explosive inquiry.
One particularly tenacious rumor making the rounds on social media suggests that Lauer may have approached the sensitive topic of Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor's paternity. Whispers about Archie's biological father have dogged the Duke and Duchess since his birth in 2019. The rumors often center around a supposed resemblance between Archie and someone in Meghan's past.
While these rumors have always been dismissed as tabloid fodder, Meghan's emotional response in the Lauer interview has given them new life. Some social media users are convinced her outburst is a sign of guilt or an attempt to deflect from the truth.
Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that Prince Harry was noticeably absent from the interview. While official sources claim it was a pre-arranged solo appearance for Meghan, some speculate that Harry strategically avoided being present for fear of Lauer's line of questioning.
The timing of the interview is also suspect. Lauer, who was ostracized from NBC in 2017 due to sexual misconduct allegations, has recently reemerged with a new online interview show. This interview with Meghan Markle marks his most high-profile appearance yet, and many believe he is deliberately courting controversy to boost ratings.
Whether Lauer was truly probing the paternity rumors or simply aiming for a sensational headline remains to be seen. However, Meghan Markle's reaction has undoubtedly cast a shadow over the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The British royal family has yet to comment on the leaked clip or the swirling rumors. However, given the potential damage to the monarchy's carefully cultivated image, a swift and decisive response is likely forthcoming.
One thing is certain: the world will be waiting with bated breath for the full interview to be released. Until then, the internet will continue to churn with speculation, and the question of Archie's paternity will undoubtedly continue to plague the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
