Some users raised doubts about the photo's organic nature due to the camera angle and what appeared to be employees attempting to step out of the frame, possibly to assist the photographer in capturing Meghan's smiling moment. One Twitter user remarked, "Compared to other celebrity drive-through pictures, this one is so high-res. Was this a paid appearance?" Another commented, "It's supposed to make us like her more because she goes to In-N-Out Burger. It's obviously a set-up paparazzi shot with a long-range lens."
Speculation continued as some suggested that a team member might have orchestrated the photo by getting out of the car to take the picture and then quickly hopping back in for a swift exit—a true "in and out."
Both Meghan and Harry have expressed their love for the famous burger joint since relocating to their Montecito mansion in Santa Barbara. Meghan mentioned in an interview with Variety that there's an In-N-Out Burger midway between Los Angeles and their home, adding that it's "really fun to go through the drive-through, and they know our order."
Harry also shared details of their typical orders in an exclusive chat with People earlier, describing In-N-Out as the best. He revealed his usual order of two double-doubles, animal-style fries, and a coke, while Meghan opts for a cheeseburger and fries with a side of jalapenos, and he sticks to ketchup and a special sauce from In-N-Out.
Notably, this wasn't the first time Meghan was accused of staging paparazzi photos while in California. She was photographed wearing a Newcom disc in August while Prince Harry was in Tokyo for work, sparking allegations of promoting the wellness brand. However, the brand denied any partnership with her. Meghan was also accused of staging photos when she visited a farmer's market in Montecito in July. The photographer, Julish Kanian, who took pictures of Meghan buying flowers, denied any setup, explaining that it was a random encounter with the Duchess, and she seized the opportunity to take photos.
Meghan Markle was recently seen at the Invictus Games alongside her husband, Prince Harry, for the sixth edition of this adaptive sporting event dedicated to veterans and service members. However, keen observers noticed that Meghan was not wearing her engagement ring during the event.
Reports suggest that the ring required repairs due to a loose setting, as reported by People magazine. The ring, designed by Prince Harry himself with the assistance of Cleve and Company, holds sentimental value, as it was the one he used to propose to Meghan.
Meghan's attire for the occasion included J.Crew linen shorts, a matching blazer top, and a black tank top. She complemented the outfit with a Givenchy Bowl to Cartier watch, which once belonged to Princess Diana, and a Lorraine Schwartz pinky ring.
Interestingly, had Meghan and Harry still been part of the royal family, her choice of outfit would not have aligned with strict Royal fashion protocol. In the UK, it's customary for young boys to wear shorts until the age of eight, as it is considered a class marker. Trousers on young boys are seen as middle-class or suburban, and members of the aristocracy or royalty typically avoid such attire.
In a 2018 interview with Harper's Bazaar, etiquette expert William Hansen explained how clothing choices for young boys can convey social class in England. Despite changing times, this tradition persists.
Notably, Meghan's appearance also sparked discussions about her physical appearance. Some observers commented on the difference in the thickness of her legs, suggesting that the hot weather in Germany may have influenced her choice of shorts.
Meanwhile, royal experts have criticized Meghan for seemingly making the Invictus Games about herself. Andrew Pierce, writing for the Daily Mail, noted her late arrival at the event and her speech, which focused on her personal experiences rather than the games or the service men and women. He argued that she tends to overshadow Prince Harry at such events.
Royal commentator Angel 11 also pointed out a noticeable shift in Prince Harry's demeanor when he is with Meghan compared to when he is not. She referenced his enthusiastic behavior at a football game watching Lionel Messi, contrasting it with his apparent boredom at a Beyoncé concert when accompanying Meghan. These observations have led to discussions about Prince Harry's willingness to comply with Meghan's preferences and priorities.
