Meghan Markle forced to take secret test? The haunting royal rule behind Archie’s birth

Meghan Markle reportedly faced an emotional ordeal before announcing her first pregnancy, one that continues to “haunt” her to this day.

According to RadarOnline.com, the Duchess of Sussex was “forced to test her unborn baby for disabilities on orders from the Queen” due to the royal family’s hidden history of children with abnormalities.

Here are some of the revelations about this royal rule and Meghan’s secret struggle:

1. Royal order rooted in history

Sources claim Meghan was required to undergo testing for chromosomal abnormalities while she was pregnant with Archie.

This rule was reportedly enforced by the Queen, stems from a tragic family legacy involving royal children born with disabilities.

2. Hidden relatives and a painful legacy

The queen’s two cousins were institutionalized for life due to learning disabilities, a fact kept secret for decades.

A source claimed that, "All women in the royal household must submit to this test now.”

3. Meghan’s private struggle

A royal insider told RadarOnline.com, “Meghan wasn’t happy with having to submit to it, but it was non-negotiable like most traditions in the royal family.”

The Duchess reportedly found the ordeal emotionally taxing but had no choice but to comply.

4. The genetic reason behind the rule

The same source explained, “Many of the royal houses of Europe are very closely related, so the gene pool can be quite shallow, which can increase the chances of abnormal children being produced.”

Even though Meghan wasn’t of royal blood, she was not exempt from the testing.

5. Painful memory Meghan may one day share

The insider added that Meghan “hasn’t talked about it yet – but she will, as it haunts her so badly.”

There’s speculation she might reveal more in a future memoir, a revelation that could reignite debate over the monarchy’s secretive practices.

As a source revealed, "She's keeping this one up her sleeve – maybe for her memoir!"

The youngest son of George V and Queen Mary, Prince John also suffered from epilepsy and learning difficulties, who is another royal child hidden from public view.

This heartbreaking history may explain the monarchy’s strict stance, however for Meghan Markle, the experience remains a deeply personal and painful chapter.
