A new wave of controversy is crashing over Meghan Markle as reports increasingly challenge one of the most polished pillars of her personal narrative — her education.
According to multiple emerging accounts, serious discrepancies have been uncovered regarding her widely publicized 2003 graduation from Northwestern University.
And the claims are so explosive that Buckingham Palace is said to be “stunned and scrambling for clarification.”
A Degree… or a Decade-Old Illusion?
For years, Meghan Markle has been celebrated as one of Northwestern University’s notable alumni, with her official biography stating she graduated with a double major in theater and international studies.
But insiders now say the story may not be as clear-cut.
Sources close to the university allege that internal records do not fully align with Meghan’s public claims — raising questions about whether she completed all required coursework.
A former faculty member reportedly stated:
“She left before finishing her credits. She kept calling herself a graduate, but the paperwork never matched.”
Another insider was even more blunt:
“It was all image. She built her empire on a story no one ever verified.”
University archives do list Meghan’s name — but experts note that appearing in a commencement program does not guarantee that a degree was officially awarded.
In the U.S., students can take part in commencement while still missing required credits, with diplomas only issued afterward once coursework is completed.
And that is exactly where the alleged discrepancy lies.
Online Debate Erupts: ‘Graduate or Attendee?’
Reddit threads, university forums, and academic discussion groups have ignited with speculation:
-
Some argue Northwestern lists Markle as an alumna only because she attended, not because she graduated.
-
Others insist the university would not publicly claim her as a graduate without full verification.
-
Skeptics counter that universities often highlight high-profile individuals without auditing every detail of their academic past.
What remains uncontested is the lack of verifiable evidence — no official diploma image, no yearbook confirmation, and no publicly accessible completion records.
Meghan’s Response: Fury and Denial
Sources close to Meghan describe her reaction as “furious and deeply insulted.”
Her alleged response:“This is a disgusting attempt to rewrite my past.”
But critics aren’t convinced. One royal commentator put it starkly:
“You can’t rewrite what never happened.”A New Storm in a Long Line of Questions
This academic controversy arrives at a volatile moment for Meghan, whose authenticity has repeatedly been scrutinized by the British press and segments of the public.
Whether the records ultimately vindicate her or expose inconsistencies, one fact is certain:
The Duchess’s educational history — once considered uncontroversial — is now the center of a growing media storm.
