Are there any public appearances where Prince Andrew and Meghan Markle were photographed together?
Executive summary
No reliable public photograph or verified public appearance showing Meghan Markle and Prince Andrew together is documented in the supplied reporting; instead, recent articles discuss social-media rumors and recycled conspiracy claims linking them, and note that people have circulated unverified images that purport to show them together [1] [2]. Major outlets in the provided set focus on Meghan deleting an Instagram post amid news about Andrew’s change in status rather than publishing any confirmed joint photograph [3] [4] [5].
1. What the supplied reporting actually documents: separate stories, not shared appearances
None of the articles in the search results present a clear, contemporaneous photo or a documented event where Meghan Markle and Prince Andrew were photographed together. Instead, the items cluster around two themes: coverage of Meghan deleting an Instagram picture as news about Andrew broke (which is presented as a social-media timing story) and articles describing online conspiracy claims that old photos have been repurposed to suggest a connection [3] [4] [5] [1].
2. The “deleted photo” stories are timing narratives, not proof of a meeting
GB News, Hello! and other outlets flag that Meghan removed an image from her As Ever Instagram around the moment Buckingham Palace released news about Andrew’s loss of titles; those reports emphasize the coincidence of timing and public reaction but do not claim that the deleted image showed Meghan with Andrew or that it proved the two had met [3] [4] [5]. The reporting centers on public perception of the timing, not on photographic evidence of the two together [3] [4].
3. Social-media rumors and recycled conspiracy imagery are driving much of the chatter
Multiple sources in the set say that conspiracy theorists and social-media users circulated old photographs and speculation asserting Meghan was photographed with Andrew or aboard the same yacht as others linked to Andrew — claims outlets characterize as unverified or debunked by mainstream coverage [1] [2]. The News International piece explicitly notes a wave of online posts alleging controversial pictures, while Now To Love and similar outlets report on the persistence of such speculation [1] [2].
4. Secondary reporting and biographies raise questions but offer no verified images
Entertainment and tabloid-style pieces (IMDb, Daily Mail, Now To Love) revisit alleged “mysterious ties” or past litigation strategies that mentioned Meghan in the context of Andrew-related investigations; these stories repeat claims and rumors without producing a verified photograph of Meghan and Andrew together [6] [2] [5]. Those sources mix conjecture, litigation references, and recycled claims rather than supplying documentary proof [6] [2].
5. Two perspectives: sceptics demand evidence; tabloids amplify coincidence
Mainstream-leaning items among the set treat the assertions skeptically, framing them as unverified social-media claims and noting the lack of substantiation [1]. Tabloid outlets emphasize eyebrow-raising timing (the deleted Instagram post) and amplify public curiosity, which can create an impression of wrongdoing or closeness without introducing concrete photographic evidence [5] [3].
6. What these sources do not provide — important limits
The supplied reporting does not present any authenticated, dated photograph or documented public appearance in which Meghan Markle and Prince Andrew appear together. The sources also do not produce corroborating eyewitness accounts or official comment confirming a joint appearance (available sources do not mention any authenticated joint photograph or confirmed public meeting). Any claim that such a photo exists is not supported by the materials in this set [1] [3].
7. How to interpret the mix of reporting and rumor
Given the pattern in these search results, the safest journalistic reading is that speculation about Meghan and Andrew being photographed together is largely driven by social-media recycling of old images and timing narratives (the Instagram deletion), not by newly produced or verified photographic evidence. Readers should treat recycled images and social-media assertions as unverified unless a reputable photographic agency or primary-source news outlet publishes an authenticated image with provenance — which the current set of sources does not show [1] [3] [4].
8. Recommended next steps for confirmation
To move from rumor to verification, rely on primary-photo sources (Getty, PA, Reuters) or official statements from the parties involved and check whether those outlets publish an image with a verifiable timestamp and location. The sources provided here document public reaction and conspiracy circulation but do not satisfy that standard [5] [1].
